Setting a Default Language in MVC RouteConfig: A Step-by-Step Guide

In an increasingly globalized world, developing applications that can support multiple languages is essential. When using ASP.NET MVC, it's essential to think about how to implement a multi-language architecture efficiently. One common challenge developers face is configuring the default language in their routes. If you're looking to set a default language in your MVC RouteConfig, you're in the right place! In this guide, we will explore how to achieve this through proper configuration.

Understanding the Problem

Imagine you have a layered architecture for your application, composed of various layers such as:

Domain Layer

Data Layer (Repository)

Business Layer

Presentation Layer

You've designed your application to reference a Language table in your database to identify the primary language. The goal is to structure your URLs in a friendly way, such as:

However, you have encountered a problem when trying to access the business layer in your RouteConfig.cs or Global.asax. This can create confusion as you cannot simply call your business logic from these places.

So, how can you effectively set this up? Let’s break it down into a clear solution.

The Solution: Modify RouteConfig

Step 1: Accessing Dependency Injection

To solve this problem, you need to utilize Dependency Injection (DI) to access your business layer inside the RouteConfig. Here’s how to do that:

Use DependencyResolver to get an instance of your ILanguageBusiness.

Create your route configuration using the fetched language information.

Step 2: Implementing the Code

Here’s how your RouteConfig should look:

Step 3: Breakdown of the Code

DependencyResolver.Current.GetService ILanguageBusiness (): This line retrieves the active instance of the ILanguageBusiness service, allowing you to call its methods directly.

IgnoreRoute(): Ensures that requests to resource files are ignored, which is crucial for routing behavior.

MapRoute(): This is where you define the URL structure. Here, the default language is fetched using the GetPrimaryLanguage() method, specifying it as part of the URL's structure.

Conclusion

Configuring a default language in your MVC route not only enhances user experience but also improves the overall structure of your application. By leveraging Dependency Injection, you can effortlessly access your business layer and set up your routes to make your application more robust and user-friendly.

If you follow the steps outlined above, you'll have a seamless integration of language settings in your URLs. This approach ensures your application is better positioned to cater to users from different linguistic backgrounds.
