How to get these values from the dynamic json object ?

I wanna assign the values for id and password to strings so I'll have something to work with after this stage. Some code I already tired: var nameOfProperty = "id"; var propertyInfo = myObject.GetType().GetProperty(nameOfProperty); var id = jsonObject.id.ToString(); var id = Convert.ToString(jsonObject["id"]);

Jesus Christ, dynamic, why Don't use dynamic

long story my dude

If someone tells you to use it, punch them in the face

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

looong story well, it all started since I realized that the beloved attribute [FromForm] is not supported for the minimal-api and I'm doing an exercise involving authentication and authorization where I have an HttpClient that should post id, password as Url Form Encoded.

Angius•3y ago

So you know what gets posted Why dynamic, then

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

That's why I need that attribute so badly

Angius•3y ago

And can't you just post JSON with your HttpClient?

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

let me show you what I mean.

Angius•3y ago

Also, you can mix regular ol' controllers into your minimal API

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

the login() from the client should do something like this:

But why x-form-urlencoded tho You can just post JSON And receive JSON

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

The point is not to only get it working. I wanna do it the right way with the [FromForm]. but unfortunately, that attribute is still not supported for the minimal api. I do hope that you understand me on this 🙂

What do you think ? lol

Angius•3y ago

What made you believe it's the right way? It's an API You communicate with it with HttpClient Not with an actual form Nothing here has any business to send or receive form data You're shooting yourself in the foot, and trying to tend to the wound by shooting it again

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

Hmmm. Can you send a code you'd recommend for the Login from the client-side ?. I'm so confused and lost 😦

Angius•3y ago

Just... post JSON?

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

So it doesn't need to be in that weird Url encoded form ?

Angius•3y ago

No

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

thanks god

Angius•3y ago

Nothing here even remotely requires using it

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

well. apparently I've been hitting my head with the wall all day for misunderstanding that point

public enum GrantType
{
    Password,
    // ...
}

public sealed record LoginData(GrantType GrantType, string Login, string Password);

public enum GrantType
{
    Password,
    // ...
}

public sealed record LoginData(GrantType GrantType, string Login, string Password);

[HttpPost("Login")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Login(LoginData data)
{
    // ...
}

[HttpPost("Login")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Login(LoginData data)
{
    // ...
}

var data = new LoginData( ... );
var res = await _httpClient.PostAsJsonAsync("url", data);

var data = new LoginData( ... );
var res = await _httpClient.PostAsJsonAsync("url", data);

Seems very reasonable. though I'm not quite familiar with the use of enum in this context. Can you tell me anything to clarify that part ?

Angius•3y ago

It's just an enum, not sure what more to say about it It's here to prevent the use of magic strings If something can be one of multiple things it's usually a good idea to make it an enum, instead of a, say, string What if you misspell "password" as "passwrd"? It'll be valid, but your code won't work

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

So it just won't be compiled if I write passwd instead of password ?

Angius•3y ago

GrantType only has a member .Password So, yes, you'll only be able to use the types defined on the enum You won't be able to use GrantType.Agyuigwefgsjdkfgfasufkg unless .Agyuigwefgsjdkfgfasufkg is defined in GrantType enum

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

Oh, I get it now.

Angius•3y ago

Meanwhile, "Agyuigwefgsjdkfgfasufkg" is a perfectly valid string

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

I'm really thinking of removing this post before other people read dynamic so they'd come here and start bullying and yelling just like the usual. not everyone has a bit of patience

Angius•3y ago

As long as you understand the error of your ways, it's all good lol

nael4slayerOP•3y ago

Nice.
And thanks a lot again
