❔ Is there any difference between `[Route("")]` and `[Route("/")]`?

If I remember correctly: - [Route("/")] will only respond to requests with an exact path of /. - [Route("")] will respond to requests made to the root path (e.g. / or /Sample).

You said [Route("/")] twice?

I tested it and [Route("")] doesn't seem to respond to /Sample

[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class MyController : ControllerBase
{
    // This action should respond to requests like /api/My or /api/My/SomeAction
    [HttpGet("")]
    public IActionResult SomeAction()
    {
        // ...
    }

    // This action should only respond to requests with the root path, e.g., /
    [HttpGet("/")]
    public IActionResult RootAction()
    {
        // ...
    }
}

[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class MyController : ControllerBase
{
    // This action should respond to requests like /api/My or /api/My/SomeAction
    [HttpGet("")]
    public IActionResult SomeAction()
    {
        // ...
    }

    // This action should only respond to requests with the root path, e.g., /
    [HttpGet("/")]
    public IActionResult RootAction()
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Just tried it and [HttpGet("")] didn't respond to /api/My/SomeAction. It still acted like [HttpGet("/")] I know that when you use [HttpGet("/")] on an action method then its template string doesn't get combined with the template string on the controller
