Iterate through dynamic form object

Question

Using mvc i get values like this to avoid class declarations and router changes.

public dynamic Create([FromBody] dynamic form)
{
    var username = form["username"].Value;
    var password = form["password"].Value;
    var firstname = form["firstname"].Value;
...

I like to iterate through all values and check them for null or empty.

If you get a json from the argument, you could convert it to an Dictionary<string, dynamic> where the string key is the name of the property and the dynamic is a value that can assume any type. For sample:

var d = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, dynamic>>(form);

var username = d["username"];

You also could loop between Keys property from the Dictionary<>:

foreach(var key in d.Keys)
{
   // check if the value is not null or empty.
   if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(d[key])) 
   {
      var value = d[key];
      // code to do something with 
   }
}
