Is there a way to pass a route parameter value that has spaces in it using the Swagger UI?-CodePudding

I am using ASP.NET Core and I have an API controller that has a POST action. The route is /categories/{categoryname}. The route parameter of categoryname is a string.

I am using Swagger UI. I want to be able to enter a string with spaces in it- for example: Executive Recruiter

Is there a way to do this?

CodePudding user response：

you can encode and decode your data for query string or route values

  var s = "Executive Recruiter";
  var encoded = Uri.EscapeDataString(s);  // = Executive Recruiter
  var decoded = Uri.UnescapeDataString(encoded); // = Executive Recruiter

but it is usually not needed to decode a string, controller decodes it automatically.

The resolution was I removed the route on the Post Action. In the Swagger UI I dont need to add the . Here is what the controller looks like:

    [HttpPost]
    [ProducesResponseType(typeof(ConnectionCategoryModel), StatusCodes.Status201Created)]
    [ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status400BadRequest)]
    [ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError)]
    [Consumes("application/json")]
    public async Task<ActionResult<ConnectionCategoryModel>> AddConnectionCategoryAsync(int connectionManagerID, string categoryName)
