I have searched for at least an hour and a half now and I'm not any closer to learning how to use POST methods in my ApiController. I need an effective way of using post to create a login system that will search my database based on the username/password combination and create a JSON object that I can send back to my web page. Any resources on using post? I've tried to acomplish this with get but I can use any variables more than 'ID'
public IHttpActionResult GetLogin(string id)
{
//Query Database for Unique username.
if (id == "mager1794")
{
//Create Login class with username, and password details.
return Ok( new Models.Login() { id = 1, userName = "mager1794", passWord = "*******" });
}
return Ok(-1);
}
This is what I have for my Get method but I'm just not having any luck creating a POST version of this.
Maybe something like this:
[RoutePrefix("api/account")]
public class AccountController : ApiController
{
public class LoginInfo
{
[Required]
public string Username { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Password { get; set; }
}
[Route("login")]
[HttpPost]
public IHttpActionResult AuthenticateUser(LoginInfo loginInfo)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
if (!Membership.ValidateUser(loginInfo.Username, loginInfo.Password))
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Incorrect username or password");
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(loginInfo.Username, true);
return Ok();
}
}
Client side:
<form action="#" id="login-form">
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" name="username" id="username"/>
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password"/>
<div><input type="submit"/></div>
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#login-form").submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var username = $('#username').val();
var password = $('#password').val();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/api/account/Login/',
data: { Username: username, Password: password },
success: function () {
// refresh the page if username and password are correct
location.reload();
}
});
});
});
</script>
