Alchemy | Binding Models for POST Requests

Question

Experts,

I am building a Alchemy plugin with Version: 0.7.0.0, in which I need to submit a modal with a POST request using web api proxy in JS file. I am using JS code as below as explained here .

With this, the POST request end up to the correct method of the API Controller. But all the members of the Modal are received as null.

Can someone point out, if I am making any mistake here?

Modal:

 public class MyExampleModel
    {
        public string[] Ids;
        public string comments;
        public string description;
    }  

JS code in plugin

var myCommentsModel = { Ids: ["id1", "id2", "id3"], comments: "my test comments", description: "my test description" };

Alchemy.Plugins["${PluginName}"].Api.SomeService.SomeFunction(myCommentsModel)
          .success(function (data) {
             // Some Code
          })

Answer 1

You may have to ensure that your model, MyExampleModel, is using Pascal Casing (you can leave your JavaScript as camelcasing as it'll still serialize correctly).

More importantly, your Model should be using public getters/setters rather than just being a public field.

public class MyExampleModel
{
    public string[] Ids { get; set; }
    public string Comments { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
}  

Hope that helps! :)
