自动生成的 c# 客户端应该如何处理可以 return 不同类型的 API 调用?

How is an auto-generated c# client supposed to handle an API call that can return different types?

我正在使用具有以下定义的服务:

[HttpGet]
[SwaggerOperation(nameof(GetAnimal))]
[Route("{animalId:long}", Name = nameof(GetAnimal))]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(AnimalModel), StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ErrorModel), StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError)]
public Task<IActionResult> GetAnimal(string tenantId, long animalId)
{
    try
    {
        // Find the actual animal.. somewhere.

        return Ok(new AnimalModel());      

    }
    catch (Exception exception)
    {
        return InternalServerError(new ErrorModel());
    }    
}

这似乎导致 autorest 生成一个 object 作为 return 类型的 C# 客户端(我猜是因为 ProducesResponseType 属性被指定了两次) :

public async Task<HttpOperationResponse<object>> GetAnimalWithHttpMessagesAsync(string tenantId, long animalId, [..])

问题

处理 return 个不同对象的 API 的推荐方法是什么?

可能的解决方案

ActionResult<T>

ASP.NET Core 2.1 introduces the ActionResult<T> return type for Web API controller actions. It enables you to return a type deriving from ActionResult or return a specific type. ActionResult<T> offers the following benefits over the IActionResult type:

  • The [ProducesResponseType] attribute's Type property can be excluded. For example, [ProducesResponseType(200, Type = typeof(Product))] is simplified to [ProducesResponseType(200)]. The action's expected return type is instead inferred from the T in ActionResult<T>.
  • Implicit cast operators support the conversion of both T and ActionResult to ActionResult<T>. T converts to ObjectResult, which means return new ObjectResult(T); is simplified to return T;.

考虑使用新的 ActionResult<T> 并删除 produces 响应属性 Type 一共。

[HttpGet]
[SwaggerOperation(nameof(GetAnimal))]
[Route("{animalId:long}", Name = nameof(GetAnimal))]
[ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
[ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status500InternalServerError)]
public async Task<ActionResult<AnimalModel>> GetAnimal(string tenantId, long animalId) {
    try {
        // Find the actual animal.. somewhere...using await.

        var model = new AnimalModel();

        //populate model    

        return model;
    } catch (Exception exception) {
        return InternalServerError(new ErrorModel());
    }
}
