How to make generated routes lower case in ASP.NET 5 (MVC 6)?

Question

If we ask the MVC framework to generate URLs for us, for example by using UrlHelper inside a controller, the route segments in the generated URL will be upper case.

[Route("[controller]")]
public class PeopleController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    public IActionResult Get()
    {
        var url = this.Url.Action("Get", "People"); // Returns "/People"

        ...
    }
}

How is it possible to tell MVC to generate lower case routes instead, so in the above example, return "/people"?

It's simple to achieve this, in the ConfigureServices method of our Startup class we just have to configure routing by setting the LowerCaseUrls property to true.

public class Startup
{
    ...

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddRouting(routeOptions => routeOptions.LowercaseUrls = true);

        ...
    }
}
