I am creating a new C# OData4 Web API with a class named Call
that has dynamic properties, which OData 4 allows via "Open Types". I believe I've set everything up and configured it correctly but the serialized response does not include the dynamic properties.
Did I configure something wrong?
public partial class Call
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public IDictionary<string, object> DynamicProperties { get; }
}
public class CallController : ODataController
{
[EnableQuery]
public IQueryable<Call> GetCall([FromODataUri] int key)
{
return _context.Call.GetAll();
}
}
public static partial class WebApiConfig
{
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
AllowUriOperations(config);
ODataModelBuilder builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
builder.ComplexType<Call>();
var model = builder.GetEdmModel();
config.MapODataServiceRoute(RoutePrefix.OData4, RoutePrefix.OData4, model);
}
private static void AllowUriOperations(HttpConfiguration config)
{
config.Count();
config.Filter();
config.OrderBy();
config.Expand();
config.Select();
}
}
If the value in a key pair is null
the property is simply not serialized. I was expecting it to be serialized to
"key" : null
Here are some additional examples
DynamicProperties.Add("somekey", 1);
"somekey" : 1
DynamicProperties.Add("somekey", "1");
"somekey" : "1"
DynamicProperties.Add("somekey", null);
