ASP.Net Core - Get All data of a post form

Question

I want to save all data of a form.

My form has these elements-

( Using Postman Plugin )

My controller is like this-

[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Insert(IFormCollection data)
{
    return Ok(data);
}

So, I am getting something like this-

[
  {
    "key": "user_id",
    "value": [
      "'12'"
    ]
  },
  {
    "key": "title",
    "value": [
      "123"
    ]
  },
  {
    "key": "text[]",
    "value": [
      "werwer",
      "ghj"
    ]
  }
]

I want to get the value of texts.

So, for this case-

"werwer",
"ghj"

So, I have tried something like this-

foreach (string description in data["text"])
{
    // description => empty
}

and also tried this-

data.text

and also-

data->text

But nothing works for me.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance for helping.

Why not loop through each keys and if the key is "text", get the values. Since the value is a comma seperated string, you can call the Split method on that to get an array which contains 2 items( from your sample input).

foreach (string description in data.Keys)
{
    if (description.Equals("text"))
    {
        var v = data[description];
        var stringItems = v.Split(',');
        foreach (var stringItem in stringItems)
        {
          //do something with stringItem
        }
    }
}

BTW, the key should be text, not text[]. Even if you have muliple input fields with the same name "text", when you submit, It will be a single key ("text") with 2 items int he value property

{
    "key": "text",
    "value": [
      "werwer",
      "ghj"
    ]
  }
