I'm trying to pass a object which has multiple objects inside it as below
[Object, Object, Object, Object]
0
:
Object
ProductID
:
"50"
__proto__
:
Object
1
:
Object
BrandID
:
24
__proto__
:
Object
2
:
Object
BrandID
:
26
__proto__
:
Object
3
:
Object
BrandID
:
20
__proto__
:
Object
One of these objects has different key value pair than the others. How can I get capture this data from a Web Api controller. How should I modify my Model in the Web Api project.
It seems to me that the array you are trying to send to Web API contains different objects with different schemas. This approach is certainly error prone, and will not allow you to use ModelBinding properly.
Why don't you change the format of your object to something like this?
$scope.myObject = {
ProductID: 50,
BrandIDs: [24, 26, 20]
};
Using this kind of object you will be able to bind it to a strongly typed model in Web API.
public class MyModel {
public int ProductID { get; set; }
public List<int> BrandIDs { get; set; }
}
public IHttpActionResult Post(MyModel model) {
var productId = model.ProductID;
foreach(var brandId in model.BrandIDs) {
DoSomething(brandId);
}
return Ok();
}
You just need to create a class model that corresponds to you JSON and Web Api will automatically bind it. It seems that what you are passing is an array, so you can do something like that:
public void Execute(Model[] input)
{
}
....
public class Model
{
public int? ProductId {get;set;}
public int? BrandId {get;set;}
}
Or if you want one object with an array inside you can pass a class like that
public class ProductsContainer
{
public Product[] Products {get;set;}
}
object=[{ProductID:"50"},{BrandID:"24"},{BrandID:"26"},{BrandID:"20"}]
