How to Deserialize json in HttpRequestData Body

[alexanderbikk]

I have the following http trigger.

using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Pipeline;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Http;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net;

namespace WorldcatPOC.Functions
{
   public class Test
   {
      public string Name { get; set; }
   }

  public static class SyncCase
  {
    [FunctionName("SyncCase")]
    public static HttpResponseData Run([HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "get", "post", Route = null)] HttpRequestData req,
        FunctionExecutionContext executionContext)
    {
        var logger = executionContext.Logger;
        logger.LogInformation("message logged");
        logger.LogInformation(req.Body);

        var testObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Test>(req.Body);
        if (testObject.Name == null)
        {
            logger.LogInformation("Name is null");
        }

        var response = new HttpResponseData(HttpStatusCode.OK);
        var headers = new Dictionary<string, string>();
        headers.Add("Date", "Mon, 18 Jul 2016 16:06:00 GMT");
        headers.Add("Content", "Content - Type: text / html; charset = utf - 8");

        response.Headers = headers;
        response.Body = "Welcome to .NET 5!!";

        return response;
       }
   }
}

I call it via Postman and put the json data {"Name":"test name"}. But the req.Body property looks like { "json": "{\"Name\":\"test name\"}" } I'm a little bit confusing why the Body looks like this? It won't be deserialized properly in my Test object without parsing.

This should be fixed if you move to preview4 for the worker Nuget

[jeffhollan]

Ah I don’t see preview4 in nuget? @fabiocav do you know when that’s being published or if I’m missing something?

[alexanderbikk]

Thank @jeffhollan. I also thought about using preview4 after investigating your repo but it's not available.

Anyway, I know that it's a bug, so I'm waiting for preview4. Thanks again for such a quick answer :)

[fabiocav]

Preview 4 will be up today. Will provide an update here once it's up.

[fabiocav]

The package has been published. I'm also updating the sample app here with some additional HTTP examples.

[alexanderbikk]

Hi, @fabiocav cool thanks a lot! :) I confirm that my example works right now. Just replaced the Body property with ReadAsString() method like in your example. Any thoughts on when the stable version will be available? :)

Btw, how to deploy the new function with .net5 to Azure using AzureDevops? Does the Azure Function task support it?
