I cannot post a simple string value to my WebApi and I get a 415 error. What's the correct syntax to make this happen? Thanks!
createRole(name: string) {
var fullUri = this.baseUri;
fullUri += 'api/role/CreateRole';
return this.http.post(fullUri, name);
}
[HttpPost("CreateRole")]
public async Task<IActionResult> CreateRoleAsync([FromBody]string name)
{
//...
}
Use [FromForm] attribute instead of [FromBody] attribute. And apply [ApiController] attribute to your controller.
[HttpPost("CreateRole")]
public async Task<IActionResult> CreateRoleAsync([FromForm]string name)
{
//...
}
It will work if you post name as FormData or using Form tag. Because [FromForm] gets values from posted form fields.
Another solution is post name as object and make a model / DTO
public class SaveModel
{
public string Role {get; set;}
}
[HttpPost("CreateRole")]
public async Task<IActionResult> CreateRoleAsync([FromBody] SaveModel model)
{
//...
}
name comes in as null when I use [FromForm]
createRole() { var fullUri = this.baseUri; fullUri += 'api/role/CreateRole'; var formData: any = new FormData(); var role = "test"; formData.append("name", role); return this.http.post(fullUri, formData); }You can use FromForm as @4L4M1N's answer like this
Angular :
createRole(name: string) {
var fullUri = this.baseUri;
fullUri += 'api/role/CreateRole';
var formData = new FormData()
formData.append("name",name)
return this.http.post(fullUri, name);
}
C# :
[HttpPost("CreateRole")]
public async Task<IActionResult> CreateRoleAsync([FromForm]string name)
{
//...
}
A little tweak in api
[HttpPost]
[Route("api/role/CreateRole")]
public int Post([FromBody] string name)
{
//logic...
}
