❔ What does the "required" constraint do in route templates?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/routing?view=aspnetcore-7.0#route-templates says the "required" constraint "Used to enforce that a non-parameter value is present during URL generation." I don't know what that means and can't seem to find any information about it.

it means that something in the url before '?' must be present
(parameters being the name/value things after "?")
But you can just do
{name} and it is still required?Was this issue resolved? If so, run
