I have a DtoClass which has properties of a specific class, I don't want to have a CustomModelBinder for the DtoClass but for the class of its properties; I am using asp.net core 3.1.
My ModelBinder Class is:
public class SessionIdModelBinder : IModelBinder
{
public Task BindModelAsync(ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
{
Guard.Against.Null(bindingContext, nameof(bindingContext));
var modelName = bindingContext.ModelName;
var valueProviderResult = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(modelName);
if (valueProviderResult == ValueProviderResult.None)
return Task.CompletedTask;
var sessionId = SessionId.Parse(valueProviderResult.FirstValue);
if (sessionId.IsFailure)
{
bindingContext.ModelState.AddModelError(modelName, sessionId.Errors.First().Message);
bindingContext.Result = ModelBindingResult.Failed();
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
bindingContext.Result = ModelBindingResult.Success(sessionId.Data);
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
}
The Dto class is like:
public class MergeSessionsDto
{
[ModelBinder(BinderType = typeof(SessionIdModelBinder), Name = nameof(OldSession))]
public SessionId OldSession { get; set; }
[ModelBinder(BinderType = typeof(SessionIdModelBinder), Name = nameof(NewSession))]
// [BindProperty(BinderType = typeof(SessionIdModelBinder), Name = nameof(NewSession))]
public SessionId NewSession { get; set; }
}
The action in my controller is:
public async Task<IActionResult> MergeSessions([FromBody] MergeSessionsDto dto)
{
var result = DoTheMerge(dto.OldSession, dto.NewSession);
return result;
}
in the startup class I also registered the ModelBinderProvider :
services.AddControllers(options=> options.ModelBinderProviders.Insert(0, new MyCustomModelBinderProvider()))
which is like:
public sealed class MyCustomModelBinderProvider : IModelBinderProvider
{
public IModelBinder GetBinder(ModelBinderProviderContext context)
{
Guard.Against.Null(context, nameof(context));
if (context.Metadata.ModelType == typeof(SessionId))
return new BinderTypeModelBinder(typeof(SessionIdModelBinder));
return null;
}
}
No matter which approach I am using, either [ModelBinder], [BindProperty] attributes, or global registration, SessionModelBinder is not called, and I am getting this error:
Exception: Invalid error serialization: 'The dto field is required.'
