Setting an ObservableCollection = to a json response-CodePudding

I am currently writing a Xamarin forms application. The issue I am facing is that I am receiving a Json Response from my API, and storing it in a var JsonReponse. The code is as follows;

        string UserId = Settings.CallUserId;
        var client = new RestClient("http://blablablaAPiCall"   UserId);
        client.Timeout = -1;
        var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
        request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
        var body = @"";
        request.AddParameter("application/json", body, ParameterType.RequestBody);
        IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
        Console.WriteLine(response.Content);


        var JsonResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Flights[]>(response.Content);



        FlightsCollection = new ObservableCollection<Flights>
        {
            new Flights() {Id="1",  SectorStart="1", Registration="A123", 
            Departure="Jhb", OffBlockTime="1242", Arrival="EC", OnBlockTime="1342", 
            TotalFlightTime="0100", InstrumentTime="00"  }
        

        };

The class I made looks like this; public class Flights {

        public string Id { get; set; }
        public string UserId { get; set; }
        public string EntryDate { get; set; }
        public string IsMasterId { get; set; }
        public string SectorStart { get; set; }
        public string SectorEnd { get; set; }
        public string AircraftType { get; set; }
        public string Registration { get; set; }
        public string PicName { get; set; }
        public string PilotFunction { get; set; }
        public string Departure { get; set; }
        public string Arrival { get; set; }
        public string OffBlockTime { get; set; }
        public string OnBlockTime { get; set; }
        public string TotalFlightTime { get; set; }
        public string NightLanding { get; set; }
        public string Instructor { get; set; }
        public string Simulator { get; set; }
        public string NightTime { get; set; }
        public string DayTime { get; set; }
        public string InstrumentTime { get; set; }
        public string ApproachType { get; set; }
        public string NavAid { get; set; }
        public string Place { get; set; }
        public string FinalRemarks { get; set; }

        }

At the top I declared an Obvservable Collection, public ObservableCollection FlightsCollection { get; set; }

So now the end goal would be for me to set my json response = Observable collection, as you can see I have done it statically, but now how do I do it with my json response?

My json response looks like this if needed,

CodePudding user response：

ObservableCollection accepts an IEnumerable which DeserializeObject can generate. Try this:

FlightsCollection = new ObservableCollection<Flights>(JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Flights>>(response.Content))

CodePudding user response：

if you want to have only some properties , you can create subclass accoring to your needs

FlightBase[] flights = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<FlightBase[]>(response.Content);

 ObservableCollection<FlightBase> FlightsCollection = new ObservableCollection<FlightBase>(flights);
