What is MVC Routes, How to change a particular action's route? E.g., Change EmployeeDetails into Employee in URL

Question

Accepted Answer

MVC routes are used to map URLs to controller actions. To change a particular action's route, we can use the Route attribute.

MVC routes are defined in the RouteConfig.cs file in the App_Start folder.
To change a particular action's route, we can use the Route attribute above the action method.
For example, [Route('Employee')], will change the URL from /EmployeeDetails to /Employee.
We can also specify parameters in the route, for example, [Route('Employee/{id}')], where id is a parameter.
We can also use constraints to restrict the values that can be passed in the URL.
Routes are matched in the order they are defined, so the most specific routes should be defined first.
