Blazor: Object Cycle detected when trying to save an item

Time:11-28

I am receiving the following error when trying to create a new Ticket item with an assigned User. I am not sure how I should go about fixing such an issue. I have explored other methods online to resolve issues like this but none have resolved the issue. I am really new to Blazor and web development so I found myself puzzled as to where I might have gone wrong. Would appreciate any help and insight as to what might be causing this. Thanks.

Error

System.Text.Json.JsonException: A possible object cycle was detected. 

This can either be due to a cycle or if the object depth is larger than the maximum allowed depth of 32. Consider using ReferenceHandler.Preserve on JsonSerializerOptions to support cycles.

Updated model class based on suggestion: Still causing same error

    public class Ticket

    [Required]
    public string Title { get; set; }

    public Guid UserID { get; set; }

    [JsonIgnore]
    public ApplicationUser AssignedUser { get; set; }

    public TicketType ticketType { get; set; }

    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}

ApplicationUser model

 public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
    public string firstName { get; set; }

    public string lastName { get; set; }

    public ICollection<Project> projects { get; set; }

    public ICollection<Ticket> assignedTickets { get; set; }

}

Creating new ticket: Create.razor

        } catch (InvalidOperationException)
        {
            return BadRequest();
        }

    }

CodePudding user response:

The problem is that the AssignedUser has multiple Tickets assigned that reference the same user, thus when the Serializer goes through them, it creates cycles.

In your Ticket, create an additional property UserId and mark AssignedUser with the [JsonIgnore] attribute.

It should look something like this:

public class Ticket
{

    [Key]
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
    
    [Required]
    public string Title { get; set; }
    
    public bool isDone { get; set; }

    // Replace Guid with your ID type
    public Guid UserID { get; set; }
    
    [JsonIgnore]
    public ApplicationUser AssignedUser { get; set; }

    // EF Core will generate: public virtual ApplicationUser AssignedUser { get; set; }

    public TicketType ticketType { get; set; }

    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}

CodePudding user response:

You effectively have a circular reference.

Ticket contains AssignedUser which contains Tickets which contains Ticket, which contains AssignedUser which contains Tickets,..... You get the gist. It's a design problem.

Remove AssignedTickets from ApplicationUser and just get the Tickets separately when you need them.

In "Clean" design terms, you're building your application logic object aggregation - a User with their associated Tickets - into your Entity Framework data layer. You connect everything up together and then apply the "greedy loading" syndrome - get everything just in case you might need it. The result is lots of data gets loaded that you never use, and often, circular references!
