Search by email not id

Question

We know that Asp.net Web API 2 has the api/get/5 method for searching by id. I need to search by email, and I found this here where I need a simple example rather. I also looked into Angularjs routing and I found that topic needs time from where I have to finish this today.

Part of my controller for the api/users/5.

// GET: api/users/5         get user by id
    public Users Get(int id)
    {
        Users user = db.Users.Find(id);
        if (user == null)
        {
            throw new HttpResponseException(Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound));
        }
        return user;
    }

My JS code

 $http.get('/api/users'+ $scope.Email)
         .success(function (response) {
             $scope.users = response;
         });

Thank you

Answer 1

try passing email as the parameter.

public Users Get(string Email)
    {
        Users user = db.Users.Find(Email);
        if (user == null)
        {
            throw new HttpResponseException(Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound));
        }
        return user;
    }

Answer 2

I guess you forgot '/' in $http call

$http.get('/api/users/'+ $scope.Email)
         .success(function (response) {
             $scope.users = response;
         });

And Asp :-

public Users Get(string Email)
    {
        Users user = db.Users.Find(Email);
        if (user == null)
        {
            throw new HttpResponseException(Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound));
        }
        return user;
    }

Hope it helps not sure :)
