IRequest.GetRoute() returns a null route when using Typescript client

ServiceStack Routing
1

Good morning,

We are experiencing dichotomous behavior when making the same request from two different ServiceStack API clients.

Allow me to explain…

We have the following request:

[Route("/organizations/{OrganizationId}/branches/{BranchId}/users", "GET")]
public class GetUsersRequest : IReturn<GetUsersResponse>
{
    public Guid? OrganizationId { get; set; }
    public Guid? BranchId { get; set; }
}

After we submit this request using a C# ServiceStack API client, the service responsible for processing said request executes the following:

IRequest.GetRoute()

This results in a valid RestPath which is then used to retrieve the variables associated with the Route. Works a peach.

When we make this exact same request using the Typescript ServiceStack API client, the service once again executes the following:

IRequest.GetRoute()

This time the result is NULL.

To be clear, in both scenarios the request is successfully received and processed as expected (all request DTO properties are populated).

After taking a deeper dive we noticed the following:

The C# API client sends the data as route variables described below:

http://localhost:2000/organizations/b7080a6d-74a2-4f8a-a7e3-6223cd97f2ee/branches/7b6cf14d-ed6f-430c-9b63-9c5d17dbfd1b/users

Conversely, the Typescript API client sends the data as query parameters described below:

http://localhost:2000/json/reply/GetUsersRequest?organizationId=7597c80f-93c8-4bc6-8c8d-6642a782d209&branchId=81fb8903-8818-40a8-b482-d0e57bdfd7ac

I am certain I am missing something. Nevertheless, I would like to enforce the former behavior which provides the additional check for required route variables (The behavior seen when using the C# API client and NOT providing all the required route variables within the request DTO. Similar to the following: URL Variable Substitution).

As always, any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Happy New Year

The IRequest.GetRoute() returns a custom route, there is no custom route when a Service is executed the pre-defined routes which all non .NET Service Clients use.

If you want to use a custom route in TypeScript Client you would need to specify the Custom Route you wish to call, e.g:

var response = client.get<GetTechnologyResponse>("/technology/ServiceStack");

Understood.

Thanks again for the timely response.
