Getting the result of Iactionresult in .net Core using nswagger studio - asp.net-core

Question

I have this api as you can see :
[HttpGet("CreateToken")]
public IActionResult CreateToken()
{
string tokenString = string.Empty;
tokenString = BuildJWTToken();
return Ok(new { Token = tokenString });
}
I use nswagger studio to generate my api code as you can see in my MVC core
public System.Threading.Tasks.Task CreateTokenAsync()
{
return CreateTokenAsync(System.Threading.CancellationToken.None);
}
/// <param name="cancellationToken">A cancellation token that can be used by other objects or threads to receive notice of cancellation.</param>
/// <returns>Success</returns>
/// <exception cref="ApiException">A server side error occurred.</exception>
public async System.Threading.Tasks.Task CreateTokenAsync(System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
var urlBuilder_ = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
urlBuilder_.Append(BaseUrl != null ? BaseUrl.TrimEnd('/') : "").Append("/api/Default1/CreateToken");
var client_ = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient();
try
{
using (var request_ = new System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage())
{
request_.Method = new System.Net.Http.HttpMethod("GET");
PrepareRequest(client_, request_, urlBuilder_);
var url_ = urlBuilder_.ToString();
request_.RequestUri = new System.Uri(url_, System.UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
PrepareRequest(client_, request_, url_);
var response_ = await client_.SendAsync(request_, System.Net.Http.HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
try
{
var headers_ = System.Linq.Enumerable.ToDictionary(response_.Headers, h_ => h_.Key, h_ => h_.Value);
if (response_.Content != null && response_.Content.Headers != null)
{
foreach (var item_ in response_.Content.Headers)
headers_[item_.Key] = item_.Value;
}
ProcessResponse(client_, response_);
var status_ = ((int)response_.StatusCode).ToString();
if (status_ == "200")
{
return;
}
else
if (status_ != "200" && status_ != "204")
{
var responseData_ = response_.Content == null ? null : await response_.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
throw new ApiException("The HTTP status code of the response was not expected (" + (int)response_.StatusCode + ").", (int)response_.StatusCode, responseData_, headers_, null);
}
}
finally
{
if (response_ != null)
response_.Dispose();
}
}
}
finally
{
if (client_ != null)
client_.Dispose();
}
}
This code is generated by NswaggerStudio .
So when I want to call my createtoken API as you can see i couldn't get the token in the result:
public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
{
var q = myapi.CreateTokenAsync();
ViewBag.data = q;
return View(q);
}
And the view
<div class="text-center">
<h1 class="display-4">#ViewBag.data</h1>

</div>
And here you can see the result

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you cannot return result in this way.
To return any model your returning type in method should look like something like this
[HttpGet("CreateToken")]
public IActionResult<TokenModel> CreateToken()
{
string tokenString = string.Empty;
tokenString = BuildJWTToken();
return Ok(new { Token = tokenString });
}
Check this for more information

Answer 2

There is an alternative solution to this with ProducesResponseType (part of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc).
Setting the typeof to the correct value you wish to return, will let swagger generate the json correctly. Which in turn allows nswag studio to generate
[HttpGet("CreateToken")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(Token), StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
public IActionResult CreateToken()
{
string tokenString = string.Empty;
tokenString = BuildJWTToken();
return Ok(new { Token = tokenString });
}
