[Blazor] strongly defined page path and also default page path

[janseris]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.

I am trying to avoid typos in NavMenu component.
Currently, every page has @page "path"

The convention is "camelCase"

When using href in NavMenu, I could use nameof(TheBlazorPageClass) but that yields a PascalCase name. I have to use an extension function/helper method to get camelCase.

And on the page, I have to manually specify the path. There is no default.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. make default page path without specifying the string

• e.g. @page in a BlazorPageClass would be automatically "/blazorPageClass"

2. allow expression to specify a custom @page path

• e.g. @page @($"/{this.GetType().Name}") -> would return"/BlazorPageClass" and the same can be used in NavMenu href
• this avoids typos

@janseris thanks for contacting us.

1. make default page path without specifying the string

We already have an issue for this. That said, we wouldn't do any camel casing of the url or any other transformation to the URL.
#8787

2. allow expression to specify a custom @page path

This is not possible with our current Routing system, and it is very unlikely it'll ever be possible unless we drastically redesign how it works, which we don't have plans to.

Routes are encoded as attributes and attributes can't contain expressions like the ones you want.

1. Thanks, I remembered that feature from razor pages/MVC just as seen in that issue - the page has default path unless specified I think.
2. Okay, thank you for info.
