Create route for root path, '/', with ServiceStack

Question

I'm trying to set a RestPath for root, '/', but its not allowing me to. Its saying `RestPath '/' on Type 'MainTasks' is not Valid` Is there a way to allow this? I'd like to provide a resource from the root. ``` [Route("/", "GET")] public class MainTasks : IReturn<MainTasksResponse> { } ```

Accepted Answer

You can only match on the Route `/` Path in ServiceStack with a FallbackRoute, e.g:

```
[FallbackRoute("/{Path*}")]
public class Fallback
{
    public string Path { get; set; }
}
```

This uses a wildcard to handle every unmatched route (inc. /foo/bar). Only 1 fallback route is allowed.

There are also a few other ways to handle the default root path /:

- Change the `EndpointHostConfig.DefaultRedirectPath` to redirect to the service you wish to use

- Add a `default.cshtml` Razor or Markdown View or static `default.htm` (for HTML requests)

- Register a `EndpointHostConfig.RawHttpHandlers` - This is the first handler looked at in ServiceStack's Order of Operations.

- Register a `IAppHost.CatchAllHandlers` - This gets called for un-matched requests.

- Handle the request in a Global Request Filter
