Between the model class and the function I'm using it in, I have something wrong. I get the error The JSON property name for 'Diary.Models.UserSetting.default' collieds with another property. This is a new error to me. I tried looking at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69448540/net-core-the-json-property-name-for-collides-with-another-property and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24887705/json-net-conflicting-property-name-when-using-jsonpropertyattribute but I can't determine what I have wrong. Thanks.

should I remove the [JsonPropertyName("default")] from the class decorators?

Jimmacle•7mo ago

well, it's saying you have 2 property names that conflict and you're giving 2 properties identical names

Mekasu0124•7mo ago

I wasn't sure if they both needed the decorator

Jimmacle•7mo ago

the attribute is for specifying a non-conventional name, it's not required at all

Mekasu0124•7mo ago

attribute. not decorator that's what I meant lol

Jimmacle•7mo ago

if it's not present the serializer will name the property based on the CLR property name and whatever naming convention you set in the options

Mekasu0124•7mo ago

ok well the function is supposed to create a json file that looks like this

{
    "Username Here": {
        "styles": {
          "fontName": "some font name",
          ...
        },
        "settings": {
          "autoCorrect": false
        },
    }
}

{
    "Username Here": {
        "styles": {
          "fontName": "some font name",
          ...
        },
        "settings": {
          "autoCorrect": false
        },
    }
}

so that as the user changes their custom settings, it can be added to replaced or deleted.

i don't see any properties named "default" there

Mekasu0124•7mo ago

"default" would be present if the file is just newly created in place of "Username here". In the function parameters, string username = "default" is there

Jimmacle•7mo ago

the attributes name the properties they're put on, not the parent

Mekasu0124•7mo ago

it'll also remain there too as it's the style for the loading screen and the login screen ok so how should I fix my current code to get my desired output?

Jimmacle•7mo ago

remove the attributes you're currently trying to name the "styles" and "settings" keys to both be "default" instead, which would produce invalid json

Mekasu0124•7mo ago

ok they're removed. is there anything else I should change?

Jimmacle•7mo ago

did that fix your problem?

Mekasu0124•7mo ago

{
    "StyleModel": [
        {
            "Username": "default",
            "FontName": "Times New Roman",
            "FontStyle": "regular",
            "FontSize": "12",
            "FontColor": "#CDCDCD",
            "FontUnderline": "none",
            "TextAlign": "left",
            "BackgroundColor": "#000000",
            "BorderColor": "#24de45"
        }
    ],
    "SettingsModel": [
        {
            "Username": "default",
            "AutoCorrect": false
        }
    ]
}

{
    "StyleModel": [
        {
            "Username": "default",
            "FontName": "Times New Roman",
            "FontStyle": "regular",
            "FontSize": "12",
            "FontColor": "#CDCDCD",
            "FontUnderline": "none",
            "TextAlign": "left",
            "BackgroundColor": "#000000",
            "BorderColor": "#24de45"
        }
    ],
    "SettingsModel": [
        {
            "Username": "default",
            "AutoCorrect": false
        }
    ]
}

it did, however, it's a dictionary within a list instead of just a dictionary wait I guess that's ok
