Getting Post Data

• Detailed Example

Get Post Data Values Async

dynamic obj = await Request.Content.ReadAsAsync<JObject>();
            var username = obj.username;
            var password = obj.password;

            var result = DoSomething(username.Value, password.Value);

Option: Posting in data=string

Post data in the format of "data=string", you will need to create complex type:

• Create a new class:

public class MyFormData
{
    public string Data { get; set; }
}

• Update Controller:

public void Post(MyFormData formData)
{
    //your JSON string will be in formData.Data
}

Option: Not Asynchronously

Autoparse using parameter binding
Dynamic is made up of JToken, so the the .Value accessor must be used

public void Post([FromBody]dynamic value) {
    var x = value.var1.Value; // JToken
}
