Find route variables from attribute

I would like to autofill ViewContext with 1 parameter of routes, however sometimes it is in query, sometimes it is in Url.

When in query, it is easy to get the parameter using req.Query.TryGetValue(key, out StringValues val). However I am looking for a way to capture the route parameter when it is like this:

[PrefillViewContext("postId")]
[HttpGet("/Post/{postId}")]
public IActionResult DisplayPost(Guid postId) {}

Is there a way to get this postId value outside of the method body, and use it in the attribute just above? (or in an attribute at class level)

You could get action parameters using ActionExecutingContext by inheriting ActionFilterAttribute.You could get all RouteData from the context.

public class PrefillViewContextAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext context)
    {
        var postId = context.ActionArguments["PostId"];
    }

}
