How do i call a Put-method from WEB API in separate project?-CodePudding

I have built a Web API that is connected to a database for persons. I am now trying to call this Web API from a separate MVC-application which is supposed to have full CRUD. So far i have managed to do so with the Get and Post-methods to create a new person and see a list of the persons currently in the database.

When trying to do a similar call for the Put-method, i get the following error:

This is how my method UpdatePerson is written in my API-application:


        [HttpPut]
        [Route("{id:guid}")]
        public async Task<IActionResult> UpdatePerson([FromRoute] Guid id, UpdatePersonRequest updatePersonRequest)
        {
            var person = await dbContext.Persons.FindAsync(id);
    
            if (person != null)
            {   
                person.Name = updatePersonRequest.Name;
                person.Email = updatePersonRequest.Email;
                person.Phone = updatePersonRequest.Phone;
                person.Address = updatePersonRequest.Address;
    
                await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();
    
                return Ok(person);
            }

And this is how i am trying to consume the API in my separate MVC-project:

        [HttpGet]
        public IActionResult Edit()
        {
            return View();
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public async Task<IActionResult> Edit(PersonViewModel pvm)
        {
            HttpClient client = new();
            StringContent sContent = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(pvm), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
            HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PutAsync("https://localhost:7281/api/Persons/", sContent);

            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Get");
            }
            else
            {
                return NotFound();
            }
        }

Everything is working fine when i try to update the database through the API-app so i am not really sure what is wrong with my request. I hope that someone here can spot the issue right away or at least help me out as i am quite a beginner with WEB APIs.

I have mostly tried changing the URL in my MVC-project but the issue remains.

CodePudding user response：

Are you sure you are receiving the request? It seems that your URI is "https://localhost:7281/api/Persons/" and your API is expecting "https://localhost:7281/api/Persons/{id}" -> where {id} should be the guid you need to append the guid in the URI

CodePudding user response：

Looks like the request doesn't receive the correct the correct parameters, because the URI that appears in your picture seems a generic method.
