Cannot use parent class in client

[kevinvenclovas]

Hi,

i have two classes both with the same parent class

CLASSES
public class MailMessageSmtpData : MailData
{
     public int SmtpPort { get; set; }
}

public class MailMessageSendGridData : MailData
{
     public int ApiKey{ get; set; }
}

public class MailData
{
     public string Subject { get; set; }
}

CONTROLLER

[HttpPost]
[Route("mail/smtp")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(MailMessage), 200)]
public async Task<IActionResult> SendSmtpMail([FromBody] MailMessageSmtpData m)
{
     return Ok(await new MailMessageService().SendMailWithSmtp(m));
}

[HttpPost]
[Route("mail/sendgrid")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(MailMessage), 200)]
public async Task<IActionResult> SendSendGridMail([FromBody]  MailMessageSendGridData m)
{
     return Ok(await new MailMessageService().SendMailWithSendGrid(m));
}



CLIENT CODE

-> MailData Class did not exist
 private MailData data= new MailData(); 

My problem here is that i can't instantiate an object from type MailData in my client code.
Can't find the MailData class in the generated code.

How can i solve this issue?

Hi, @Kshopper93
What error does the IDE show you?
Can you attach the screenshot?

[kevinvenclovas]

Class not found.

[kevinvenclovas]

Hello,

do you found any issue in my code?

[unchase]

Hi, @Kshopper93

Please, attach a screenshot of the generated MailData class.
Or send me the specification file by which the code was generated (to spiritkola@hotmail.com directly).

Hi, @unchase

there is no MailData class in the generated file. I have only the Child classes MailMessageSmtPData and MailMessageSendGridData.
The MailData (Parent class) variables merged into the child chlasses. But i need the Base and Child classes separately

Where can i find the specification file?

[unchase]

You can find this file in the directory with the generated client (it has the extension - json):

@unchase - U got a Email with the File.

Thank you

@Kshopper93
There is no MailMessage contract in json-specification file (there is only MailMessageSmtpData and MailMessageSendGridData), therefore, it is not created in client code.

Should to look the issue on the server side, which generates the specification, because the connected service generates a client based on the specification passed to it.

See the same issue. There is a problem in specification generation: generates without base classes.
it's not implemented yet in Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.

You can try to use NSwag in the server side for generating specification. It seems to be allows to generate base classes in the specification schema: see this and this topics.
