Area and subdomain routing

Question

I created Admin Area inside my ASP.NET Core application and updated my routes like that:

app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
    routes.MapRoute(name: \"areaRoute\",

Michael Graf has a blog post about it.

Basicly you need a custom router:

public class AreaRouter : MvcRouteHandler, IRouter
{
    public new async Task RouteAsync(RouteContext context)
    {
        string url = context.HttpContext.Request.Headers["HOST"]; 
        var splittedUrl = url.Split('.');

        if (splittedUrl.Length > 0 && splittedUrl[0] == "admin")
        {
            context.RouteData.Values.Add("area", "Admin");
        }

        await base.RouteAsync(context);
    }
}

And then register it.

app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
    routes.DefaultHandler = new AreaRouter();
    routes.MapRoute(name: "areaRoute",
        template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}");
});

On the other hand we have the IIS Rewrite module, or even a Middleware
