Asp Net Core web API - How to send image and JSON

Question

How can I send two parameters in one request?
I know how to send one request with one parameter.

I use postman to send the requests.
This is the person code:

public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public string Position { get; set; } }

And this is my controller code:

[HttpPost("Add")] public async Task<IActionResult> Add(List<IFormFile> files, Person person)

How can I realize this?

Create a class that holds both parameters.

public class AddRequest { public Person Person {get; set;} public List<IFormFile> Files {get; set;} }

then change your controller to accept the wrapper class

 [HttpPost("Add")] public async Task<IActionResult> Add(AddRequest request)

then just create an instance of the AddRequest class, populate it with your parameters, and POST it to the 'Add' endpoint

If you are sending multipart/form-data from front-end then you can receive it like as

[HttpPost("Add")] public async Task<IActionResult> Add(Person person) { var files = Request.Form.Files; //your code here }

I hope it will fill your requirement
