Configure input/output formatters on controllers with ASP.NET Core 2.1

by

I haven’t found anything that can be configured at the controller level, but I did find a solution that involves changes to each action where you need this functionality. In my case I needed to customize the JSON serializer settings, which can be done like this for the output:

[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Get()
{
    ...
    return Json(result, _serializerSettings);
}

and like this for input:

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Post([FromBodyCustomSerializationSettings]MyPostDto postDto)
{
    ...
}

class FromBodyCustomSerializationSettingsAttribute : ModelBinderAttribute
{
    public FromBodyCustomSerializationSettingsAttribute() : base(typeof(MyModelBinder))
    {
        BindingSource = BindingSource.Body;
    }
}

class MyModelBinder : IModelBinder
{
    private readonly BodyModelBinder _bodyModelBinder;

    public MyModelBinder(IHttpRequestStreamReaderFactory readerFactory, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IOptions<MvcOptions> options, IOptions<MvcJsonOptions> jsonOptions, ArrayPool<char> charPool, ObjectPoolProvider objectPoolProvider)
    {
        var formatters = options.Value.InputFormatters.ToList();
        int jsonFormatterIndex = formatters.FirstIndexOf(formatter => formatter is JsonInputFormatter);
        JsonSerializerSettings myCustomSettings = ...
        formatters[jsonFormatterIndex] = new JsonInputFormatter(loggerFactory.CreateLogger("MyCustomJsonFormatter"), myCustomSettings, charPool, objectPoolProvider, options.Value, jsonOptions.Value);
        _bodyModelBinder = new BodyModelBinder(formatters, readerFactory, loggerFactory, options.Value);
    }

    public Task BindModelAsync(ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
    {
        return _bodyModelBinder.BindModelAsync(bindingContext);
    }
}
