Question

I am using Postman Chrome extension to test my MVC service API.

The model that I pass to the controller looks as follows:

public class ActivateBenefitRequestModel
{
    public int BenefitID { get; set; }
    public int MemberID { get; set; }
    public string Token { get; set; }
    public List<AdditionalBenefitField> BenefitAdditionalFields { get; set; } 
}

with

public class AdditionalBenefitField
{
    public int BenefitFieldId { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

How should I go about passing in the BenefitAdditionalFields List ?

Is it even possible?

Answer 1

So I got it and it’s pretty easy:

Just set separate text values in your form data in the PostMan extention

BenefitAdditionalFields[0].BenefitFieldId
BenefitAdditionalFields[0].Value
BenefitAdditionalFields[1].BenefitFieldId
BenefitAdditionalFields[1].Value
