I have a post method with below signature,
[HttpPost] public ActionResult SavePriorAuthorization(MainPriorAuthorization priorAuthorization, IFormFile file)
Now I want to pass the object along with the file from a postman. I have tried the following option which doesn't work.
This gives an error, System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.Parameter name: header
Header Type : multipart/form-data
Any help would be appreciated.
What I usually do is create a ViewModel like this one:
public class MainPriorAuthorizationViewModel
{
public IFormFile File { get; set; }
public string TestName { get; set; }
}
Then create an action with [FromForm] attribute so that it knows from where it needs to mapped:
[HttpPost]
public void Post([FromForm]MainPriorAuthorizationViewModel priorAuthorization)
{
//do logic
}
Then in my postman its look like this:
Hope this helps
Try to change the settings of the key in the MainPriorAuthorization model, you could directly set properties name of the model as the key in Postman.
The following is the example code that I tested and worked well:
Guest Model
public class Guest
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
Add the [FromForm] attribute to the parameter in action
[HttpPost]
public void SaveGuest([FromForm]Guest guest,IFormFile file)
{ }
