Passing a list of int to a HttpGet request
If you are using MVC WebAPI, then you can declare your method like this:
[HttpGet]
public int GetTotalItemsInArray([FromQuery]int[] listOfIds)
{
return listOfIds.Length;
}
and then you query like this:
blabla.com/GetTotalItemsInArray?listOfIds=1&listOfIds=2&listOfIds=3
this will match array [1, 2, 3] into listOfIds param (and return 3 as expected)
Here's a quick hack until you find a better solution:
- use "?listOfIds=1,2,5,8,21,34"
- then:
GetValuesForList(string listOfIds)
{
/* [create model] here */
//string[] numbers = listOfIds.Split(',');
foreach(string number in listOfIds.Split(','))
model.Add(GetValueForId(int.Parse(number))
/* [create response for model] here */
...
In addition to @LiranBrimer if you are using .Net Core:
[HttpGet("GetTotalItemsInArray")]
public ActionResult<int[]> GetTotalItemsInArray([FromQuery]int[] listOfIds)
{
return Ok(listOfIds);
}
