How to post complex Json data (body) using restsharp?

Question

I hope you are doing well !!

I need to do a post request using restsharp, the body to be added to request is given below. This is bit complicated than the post request I have done before.

Complex Post for which I request assistance:

{
  "contextInfoId": "string",
  "userId": "string",
  "specificOs": "string",
  "buildPlatform": "string",
  "deviceName": "string",
  "deviceId": "string",
  "token": "string",
  "loginInfo": {
    "loginInfoId": "string",
    "loginDate": "2019-03-14T06:21:39.693Z"
  }
}

This issue for me here is the way 'loginInfo:' has to be provided

I have added basic post body to request using below code:

//Add json data/body
request.AddJsonBody(new { buProfileId ="1", divisionNames = "IDC", businessUnitNames = "XYZ", processGroupNames = "ABC", systemOrProjectName = "Test", customername = "User" });

The above C# code work fine for a body like below.

{
  "buProfileId": "string",
  "divisionNames": "string",
  "businessUnitNames": "string",
  "processGroupNames": "string",
  "systemOrProjectName": "string",
  "customername": "string"
}

Could someone please let me know how to achieve the complex post operation.

You can create an json object and assign your value to it, then you can serialize the json and send in the body

public class LoginInfo
{
    public string loginInfoId { get; set; }
    public DateTime loginDate { get; set; }
}

public class Context
{
    public string contextInfoId { get; set; }
    public string userId { get; set; }
    public string specificOs { get; set; }
    public string buildPlatform { get; set; }
    public string deviceName { get; set; }
    public string deviceId { get; set; }
    public string token { get; set; }
    public LoginInfo loginInfo { get; set; }
}

public IRestResponse Post_New_RequestType(string context, string user_ID, string Specific_Os, string Build_Platfrom, string Device_Name, string device_Id, string Token_Value, string login_infoId, DateTime Login_Date)
        {

            Context tmp = new Context();
            tmp.contextInfoId = context;
            tmp.userId = user_ID;
            tmp.specificOs = Specific_Os;
            tmp.buildPlatform = Build_Platfrom;
            tmp.deviceName = Device_Name;
            tmp.deviceId = device_Id;
            tmp.token = Token_Value;
            tmp.loginInfo.loginInfoId  = login_infoId;
            tmp.loginInfo.loginDate = Login_Date;


            string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(tmp);
            var Client = new RestClient(HostUrl);
            var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
            request.Resource = string.Format("/api/example");
            request.AddParameter("application/json", json, ParameterType.RequestBody);
            IRestResponse response = Client.Execute(request);
            return response;
}
