Confused with FromBody in ASP.NET Core

Question

I have the following WEB API method, and have a SPA template with Angular:

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Post([FromBody]MyViewModel model)

<

Answer 1

For anyone seeing this issue .net core 3 - you need to add the [ApiController] to the controller where you extend ControllerBase. The [FromBody] is only needed if you're doing an MVC controller.

This causes the body to get automatically processed in the way you're expecting.
