Alter json body in POST request

[eNTi]

Hi,
I've a particular issue. I need the request I'm sending enclosed in the following:

{
    req:
    {
        ... default body ...
    }
}

Is this somehow possible?

You have two options:

1. Create an e.g. Request<T> type which wraps each body you send, e.g:

public class Request<T>
{
    [JsonProperty("req")]
    public T Body { get; set; }

    public Request(T body) => Body = body;
}

[Post(...)]
public void PostAsync([Body] Request<SomeBody> body);

2. Write your own RequestBodySerializer which wraps the serialized body in the containing object. See that link for more details -- it will look like this, but wrapped in an extra JSON object.

Thank you.

Could you elaborate where I would use PostAsync? Where do I put that so that it is picked up by the RestClient.For?

That's an example of the method to put in your interface (the one you pass to RestClient.For<T>). Just to demonstrate that the body type is Request<Something>

Ah. I think I've got it. Thanks again.
