Where is the PostAsJsonAsync method in ASP.NET Core?

Question

I was looking for the PostAsJsonAsync() extension method in ASP.NET Core. Based on this article, it\'s available in the Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client

Answer 1

make the extension method truly async:

public static async Task PostAsJsonAsync(
    this HttpClient httpClient, string url, T data)
{
    var dataAsString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
    var content = new StringContent(dataAsString);
    content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
    return await httpClient.PostAsync(url, content);
}
