Reviewed the question as it was not received well the last time. Hope I have provided all the required information below.
I have a basic API controller and my Json object doesn't seem to bind to the model properly. The root object binds but the property with hyphen in its name doesn't bind. Unfortunately, I cannot drop the hyphen in the property name.
How do I get the property to bind correctly?
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace TestCoreAPI.Controllers
{
[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class TestController : ControllerBase
{
// POST: api/Test
[HttpPost]
public string Post([FromBody] TestPayload testPayload)
{
if (testPayload == null)
{
return "Test payload is empty";
}
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(testPayload.TestProperty))
{
return "Test property is empty";
}
return "Valid input - " + testPayload.TestProperty;
}
}
[JsonObject("test-payload")]
public class TestPayload
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "test-property")]
public string TestProperty { get; set; }
}
}
This is the call I'm making to the API
POST /api/test HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
{"test-property":"some string value"}
Are you adding AddNewtonsoftJson() to your services in Startup.ConfigureServices ? If not, the new System.Text.Json is being used, not Newtonsoft. I think you'll need to do AddNewtonSoftJson() as i'm fairly sure System.Text.Json doesn't support 'kebab case' bindings.
