The following give me args=null when I POST with a body {"args": 222}. How can I get the member of the body into my variable args (or the entire body into a variable body)
[HttpPost("{className}/{methodName}")]
public ActionResult<string> Post(string className, string methodName, string args){}
The JSON
{"args": 222}
implies that args is a number.
Create a model to hold the expected data
public class Data {
public int args { get; set; }
}
Update the action to explicitly expect the data from the request body
[HttpPost("{className}/{methodName}")]
public ActionResult<string> Post(string className, string methodName, [FromBody] Data body) {
if(ModelState.IsValid) {
int args = body.args
//...
}
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
If you want to use Attribute Routing, you have to enable Attribute routing at the WebAPIConfig. Also have a [Route()] for every action PUT, GET, POST etc.
What I see you are doing is conventional routing.
For more info on attribute routing, i suggest you go through this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/attribute-routing-in-web-api-2
