Creating a different route to a specific action mvc 6

With attribute routing you can use a tilde (~) on the Action's route attribute to override the default route of the Controller if needed:

[Route("api/[controller]")]public class AccountsController : Controller {    [HttpPost]    [Route("~/api/token")] //routes to `/api/token`    public async Task<JwtToken> Token([FromBody]Credentials credentials) {        ...    }    [HttpPost]     [Route("users")] // routes to `/api/accounts/users`    public async Task CreateUser([FromBody] userDto) {        ...    }}

For ASP.NET Core it seems that the tilde ~ symbol (see accepted answer) is not needed anymore to override the controller's route prefix – instead, the following rule applies:

Route templates applied to an action that begin with a / don't get combined with route templates applied to the controller. This example matches a set of URL paths similar to the default route.

Here is an example:

[Route("foo")]public class FooController : Controller{    [Route("bar")] // combined with "foo" to map to route "/foo/bar"    public IActionResult Bar()    {        // ...    }    [Route("/hello/world")] // not combined; maps to route "/hello/world"    public IActionResult HelloWorld()    {    }   }
