How to make a PUT request from ASP.NET core mvc to Web API in asp.net core?-CodePudding

I need to save the changes I make in my model through API call in my database. I have checked my API is working fine when I am running it individually on Web. But its giving me an error StatusCode: 405, ReasonPhrase: 'Method Not Allowed'. I am trying to send and object and trying to see whether the request made was completed or not. When I am trying to debug it, it is not sending hit on my API controller.

Here is my model class:

 public class Customer
    {
        [Required]
        public Guid CustomerId { get; set; }
        public int Age { get; set; }
        public int Phone { get; set; }
    }

PUT Method in API:

[HttpPut]
        [Route("api/[controller]/{customer}")]
        public IActionResult EditCustomer(Customer customer)
        {
            var cust = _customerData.EditCustomer(customer);
            if (cust == string.Empty)
            {
                return Ok();
            }
            else
            {
                return new StatusCodeResult(StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError);
            }
        }

The method I am using in project to call API:

 using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri(apiBaseUrl);
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
                new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json")
                );
                var sum = await client.PutAsJsonAsync("api/Customer/", customer);
                if (sum.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK)
                {
                    
                    return RedirectToActionPermanent(actionName: "SingIn");
                }
                else
                {
                    TempData["msg"] = "There is an error";
                    return View();
                }

where baseaddress= {https://localhost:44398/}

You need to fix your action route by removing {Customer}, since you send customer in request body, not as a route value

 [Route("~/api/Customer")]

and request

  var sum = await client.PutAsJsonAsync("/api/Customer", customer);

or better fix the acttion route name to meaningfull

  [Route("~/api/EditCustomer")]

and

var sum = await client.PutAsJsonAsync("/api/EditCustomer", customer);

CodePudding user response：

I am no pro in web APIs but I suspect it could be due to the fact that the API expects customer to be in request URL.

Try and change the API route to [Route("api/[controller]")]
