Raz.HeaderAttribute 1.0.1

RazHeaderAttribute

Simple dotnet package for getting values from request headers in a clean way

Instructions

Setting up and using this library/package can be done in a few simple steps

1. Install from nuget

   You can do this using one of two ways

   • Via nuget package manager console

   Simply type in the following command in the PM console

   Install-Package Raz.HeaderAttribute
   

   • Via nuget package manager GUI

   1. Right click on your solution
   2. click on the nuget package manager
   3. search for Raz.HeaderAttribute
   4. install 😃

2. Add the Attribute close to the controller parameter you wish to bind it to

   If you're already familiar with binding attributes this will be the simplest step. If you're not, C# has binding attributes that tell the framework where to get parameters specified in your controller from. For example, the [FromUri] attribute that tells the framework to pick that parameter from the URI or the [FromBody] one that tells the framework to pick the parameter from the request body for post requests.

   This package makes the attribute [FromHeader] available and also lets us specify the name of the header key we need and just like the pre-built attributes, it tries to bind to any primitive data type specified. Here's an example:

     ...
     using RazHeaderAttribute.Attributes;
   
     [Route("api/{controller}")]
     // Ewa-agoyin with sauce ;)
     public class YamAndBeansController : ApiController 
     {
         ...
         // GET api/yamandbeans
         [HttpGet]
         public IEnumerable<string> Get([FromHeader("page")] int page, [FromHeader] string rows)
         {
             // Print in the debug window to be sure our bound stuff are passed :)
             Debug.WriteLine($"My Debugger!!! Arrrrrggggh!!!!: Rows {rows}, Page {page}");
             ...
         }
     }
   

   And with this you're all setup and good. You can star this repo if you found this useful 😃
