Use FromQuery model binder in output formatter
I have a custom OutputFormatter in my .net core project. In there I want to use some info inside the querystring of the initial request.
Inside the controller this is nicely done with the FromQuery modelbinder, giving me an object to work with. I would like to have this object (model) in my output formatter as well.
Can I somehow call FromQuery as an instance or such, so I can pass in the HttpContext or the querystring even, to get the model?
public override Task WriteResponseBodyAsync(OutputFormatterWriteContext context)
{
// Want a model from my querystring here
}

This looks like an XY problem. FromQuery is a metadata attribute and its instance has no functionality

Why don't you get the information in the controller and include it in the output object the one that is sent in thecontext.Object? You so or so do custom formatting so only what you decide will be sent out.

Use HttpContext.Items. The objects placed in there will be cleaned up at the end of request. And you can pass even more with it, defaulted values or changed values (probably it can be a dangerous point if you are going to change binded object)
// GET api/values
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Get([FromQuery] QData data)
{
HttpContext.Items["data"] = data;
.......
return Ok(....);
}
Also you can have multiple formatters for different types of requests.
public class Formatter : OutputFormatter
{
public override bool CanWriteResult(OutputFormatterCanWriteContext context)
{
return context.HttpContext.Items["data"] is QData;
}
public override Task WriteResponseBodyAsync(OutputFormatterWriteContext context)
{
var incoming = context.HttpContext.Items["data"] as QData;
.......
}
}
The same way you can put any other object in Items and work with it in formatter. In case of other object it can be more generic and stable solution as it relies on specific structure.
