.NET - Api.Route.Post()
Register a handler for HTTP POST requests to the route.
using Nitric.Sdk;var route = Nitric.Api("main").Route("/customers");route.Post(context => {// Construct a response for all incoming HTTP requestsvar responseBody = new Dictionary<string, string>();context.Res.Json(responseBody);return context;});Nitric.Run();
Parameters

- Required

One or more middleware functions to use as the handler for HTTP requests. Handlers can be sync or async.
Examples
Register a handler for POST requests
using Nitric.Sdk;var route = Nitric.Api("main").Route("/customers");route.Post(context => {// Construct a response for all incoming HTTP requestsvar responseBody = new Dictionary<string, string>();context.Res.Json(responseBody);return context;});Nitric.Run();
Chain functions as a single method handler
When multiple functions are provided they will be called as a chain. If one succeeds, it will move on to the next. This allows middleware to be composed into more complex handlers.
var route = Nitric.Api("main").Route("/customers/:userId");route.Post((context, next) => {var user = context.Req.PathParams["userId"];// Validate the user identityif (user != "1234"){context.Res.Text($"User {user} is unauthorised");context.Res.Status = 403;// Return prematurely to end the middleware chain.return context;}// Call next to continue the middleware chain.return next(context);}, (context, next) => {var user = context.Req.PathParams["userId"];context.Res.Text($"Creating {user}");return next(context);});Nitric.Run();
Access the request body
The POST request body is accessible from the ctx.req
object.
using Nitric.Sdk;var api = Nitric.Api("main").Route("/customers");route.Post(context => {var body = context.Req.Json<Dictionary<string, string>>();// parse, validate and store the request payload...});Nitric.Run();
