If the controller is yours, you need to provide the code where you're populating the response payload

IsSuccess suggests a boolean, no idea why anything other would be used

douchebagOP•5mo ago

{{ "IsSuccess": true, "Message": "Success", "Data": { "id": 1, "name": "Philip2", "weight": 105.0, "height": 34.5, "birth_date": "2009-11-08T14:40:53", "age": 15, "BMI": 1.5217391304347827 } }} these are the values when i debug

Why is there JObject Why not an actual model

douchebagOP•5mo ago

its just the same let me rephrase my code

douchebagOP•5mo ago

look bro, i replace it with string return

douchebagOP•5mo ago

ublic async Task<ActionResult<string>> GetUserProfile([ see that string "string"

SG97•5mo ago

Yes

douchebagOP•5mo ago

if i will replace that with Jobject. that cause a problem

SG97•5mo ago

Well, hopefully someone can help with using JObject as a reponse (what is DefaultReponse?) as I've never seen it being used in a controller

douchebagOP•5mo ago

oh defaultResponse is just a class

SG97•5mo ago

Yes I know

douchebagOP•5mo ago

i created it

PixxelKick•5mo ago

Is there a specific reason you are using JObject? Most folks don't use that

SG97•5mo ago

Literally no one ever

douchebagOP•5mo ago

hahah really?

PixxelKick•5mo ago

Asp.net controllers automatically handle json serialization for you

douchebagOP•5mo ago

oh i see

PixxelKick•5mo ago

You can just make your controller method return a Task<YourDTO> and it'll serialize by default using System.Text.Json

douchebagOP•5mo ago

ok let me try. ah. i want to use dynamic object that is why

douchebagOP•5mo ago

PixxelKick•5mo ago

Why? That's also extremely atypical

Kyr•5mo ago

try this...

public class DefaultResponse<T>
{
  public bool isSuccess { get; set; }
  public string message { get; set; }
  public T data { get; set; }
}

public class DefaultResponse<T>
{
  public bool isSuccess { get; set; }
  public string message { get; set; }
  public T data { get; set; }
}

douchebagOP•5mo ago

wow. nice

PixxelKick•5mo ago

Was about to say, haha

douchebagOP•5mo ago

you dont like JObject guys

PixxelKick•5mo ago

C# is a strongly typed language

douchebagOP•5mo ago

hey bro what is this "T"

Kyr•5mo ago

you can then create specific DTOs for each response..

public class MyCustomResponse
{
  public int Id { get; set; }
  // etc...
}

public class MyCustomResponse
{
  public int Id { get; set; }
  // etc...
}

And return it like this (crude example)...

return new DefaultResponse<MyCustomResponse> { isSucess = true, data = new MyCustomResponse{ Id = 1 } };

return new DefaultResponse<MyCustomResponse> { isSucess = true, data = new MyCustomResponse{ Id = 1 } };

Generic classes and methods - C#

Learn about generics. Generic types maximize code reuse, type safety, and performance, and are commonly used to create collection classes.

Kyr•5mo ago

Beat me to it

douchebagOP•5mo ago

what the heckk guys

Kyr•5mo ago

You missed a bit further up DefaultResponse<T> in the class definition

douchebagOP•5mo ago

wow. thanks @Kyr

Kyr•5mo ago

Generics can be very handy... I recommend reading up on them. The link @PixxelKick posted above is a good start

douchebagOP•5mo ago

Thanks

douchebagOP•5mo ago

wow @Kyr

douchebagOP•5mo ago
