GET :http://www.Example.com/Api/1/0/Book/Company/0
[Route("{UserId}/{Category}/books/{BookType}/{Page}")]
[HttpGet]
[RequestAuthorization]
public Response Get(int UserId,string Category, string BookType,int Page )
{
var books= this.contentService.GetUserItems(UserId,Category, BookType, Page)
return new Response() { Status = ApiStatusCode.Ok, Books = books};
}
The above code works well for me.
My question is is it possible to bind a request model in GET request ?
for example I have a request model like this
public class BookbRequestModel
{
public int UserId { get; set; }
public int Category { get; set; }
public int Page { get; set; }
public string BookType { get; set; }
}
and i want my get request like this
GET :http://www.Example.com/Api/1/0/Book/Company/0
to bind the data to my request model
[Route("{UserId}/{Category}/books/{BookType}/{Page}")]
[HttpGet]
[RequestAuthorization]
public Response Get(BookbRequestModel book )
{
var books= this.contentService.GetUserItems(book.UserId,book.Category,book.BookType,book.Page)
return new Response() { Status = ApiStatusCode.Ok, Books = books};
}
I tried this , but every time i get null in my book (BookRequestModel )
The default route template for Web API is "api/{controller}/{id}". In this template, "api" is a literal path segment, and {controller} and {id} are placeholder variables. When the Web API framework receives an HTTP request, it tries to match the URI against one of the route templates in the routing table.
Model Binding is the most powerful mechanism in Web API 2. It enables the response to receive data as per requester choice. i.e. it may be from the URL either form of Query String or Route data OR even from Request Body. It's just the requester has to decorate the action method with [FromUri] and [FromBody] as desired.
In the previous section, we learned that Web API can be configured in WebApiConfig class. Here, we will learn how to configure Web API routes. Web API routing is similar to ASP.NET MVC Routing. It routes an incoming HTTP request to a particular action method on a Web API controller.
add [FromUri] and try again as below
[Route("{UserId}/{Category}/books/{BookType}/{Page}")]
[HttpGet]
[RequestAuthorization]
public Response Get(([FromUri] BookbRequestModel book )
{
var books= this.contentService.GetUserItems(book.UserId,book.Category,book.BookType,book.Page)
return new Response() { Status = ApiStatusCode.Ok, Books = books};
}
