Input Handlers

Depending on your application and its needs you may want to handle your request differently than how DnnApiEndpoint does or even add new handlers.

Adding a new handler is an easy two-step setup.

1) In your DesktopModules\DnnSharp\DnnApiEndpoint\Config\RequestHandlers folder create a new .json.config file following the examples from .defaults.json.config to specify your new handler.

Here you will need to provide:

• Id
• Priority (based on this number DnnApiEndpoint will check if the request is CanParseRequest. Priority 1 is the highest.)
• TypeStr

Please note that if you add information to .defaults.json.config it will be overwriten/removed on a DnnApiEndpoint update/reinstall.

2) Add your .dll file containing you handler bin\ folder.

Step-by-step tutorial:

• Open VisualStudio
• New Project
• Select Visual C# / ClassLibrary
• Give it a name (CustomRequestHandler)
• Add a reference to System.Web (4.0.0)
• Add a reference to DnnSharp.DnnApiEndpoint.Core
• Add a reference to DnnSharp.Common (optional)
• Add a reference to DotNetNuke (optional)
• Your class needs to inherit DnnSharp.DnnApiEndpoint.Core.RequestHandlers.IRequestHandler
• Write the code in your class (MyCustomHandler.cs)
• Build the project
• Copy the dll in your bin folder
