I am using ASP.NET and Swagger that exposes a complex type that accepts a POST. It has a number of string fields that have different restricted lengths. How can I reflect that in the Swagger UI? You can annotate the properties with the StringLengthAttribute from System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations . For instance: [StringLength(10)] public String Name {get;set;} will become: "name": { "minLength": 0, "maxLength": 10, "type": "string" } And this: [StringLength(10, MinimumLength = 5)] public String Name {get;set;} becomes: "name": { "minLength": 5, "maxLength": 10, "type": "string" } Besides

Here is a simplified version of the model I have to work with: class InputModel { public string Name { get; set; } public object Value { get; set; } } And the relevant parts of the controller: class Controller : ApiController { [HttpPut] public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Update([FromBody]InputModel model) { //implementation } } the Value property of the InputModel class could be of any type, and which type it will be is only known later on, in a piece of legacy code the model is sent to and that i have no control over. The problem I have occurs with the following json in the request body: {

I just started using ASP.NET Web API 2.1 and have encountered a limitation. Using Attribute Routing, I can do the following: [Route("item/{id:int}")] public IHttpActionResult GetItem(int id) { ... } The URL /item/5 will be routed to this action, but the URL /item/abc will not, because of the int constraint in {id:int} . I tried changing my URL so that the id parameter was in the query string along with its constraint, despite the use of route constraints on query parameters never being mentioned or demonstrated in the documentation. [Route("item?{id:int}")] public IHttpActionResult GetItem(int

I'm trying to implement swagger into my Asp.Net Web API, and i'm running into a problem. I'm using the password resource owner flow, and i'm having to add a work around in order to do this, which is covered in the following stack overflow question :- Swagger/Swashbuckle: OAuth2 with Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant I've got everything working, the Bearer token is added via javascript to the request header in the current browser window, but the api calls to the controller methods requiring authorization are still return "401 - Authorization Failed". Here is the JavaScript that gets the

I am using ASP.NET 5, In my solution I have Web API, Identity Server and Angular 2 project and I am authenticating Angular 2 client by using Identity Server, Angular 2 client consumes web api by passing token in http request and web api authenticate token and gives response, for this I have written a custom attribute which checks that user is authenticated or not When I consume API I am getting following exception and Web API returns 500 internal server error. System.InvalidOperationException: IDX10803: Unable to obtain configuration from: ' http://xx.xx.xx.x:3926/.well-known/openid

In a WebAPI project, i have a controller that checks a status of a product, based on a value the user enters. Lets say they enter "123" and the response should be "status": 1, AND a list of products. If they enter "321" the "status" is 0, AND a list of products. My question is, how do i build such a string correct in a WebAPI controller. [Route("{value:int}")] public string GetProducts(int value) { var json = ""; var products = db.Products; if (products.Any()) { foreach (var s in products) { ProductApi product = new ProductApi(); product.Name = s.Name; json += JsonConvert.SerializeObject

Let's say I have a method like this in one of my controllers: [Route("api/Products")] public IQueryable<Product> GetProducts() { return db.Products .Include(p => p.Category); } Using this I can get a product from the database and include its Category property. In my CategoryControllerI have this method: [Route("api/Categories")] public IQueryable<Category> GetCategories() { return db.Categories .Include(c => c.Parent) .Include(c => c.Products) .Include(c => c.SubCategories); } When I send a GET request to the CategoryController this works as intended, I get the category, its parent, its
