GetDataTableRequest
Parses the HttpRequest passed by the DataTables.net API into a DataTableRequest object (included in the CommonNetFuncs.Web.Interface package)
HttpRequest request = A.Fake<HttpRequest>();
Dictionary<string, StringValues> formData = new()
{
{ "draw", new StringValues("1") },
{ "start", new StringValues("0") },
{ "length", new StringValues("10") },
{ "order[0][column]", new StringValues("1") },
{ "order[0][dir]", new StringValues("asc") },
{ "columns[1][data]", new StringValues("name") },
{ "search[value]", new StringValues("field1=value1,field2=value2") }
};
IFormCollection formCollection = new FormCollection(formData);
A.CallTo(() => request.ContentType).Returns("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
A.CallTo(() => request.Form).Returns(formCollection);
// Using the above form data as the HttpRequest's form data...
DataTableRequest result = request.GetDataTableRequest();
// result =
// {
// Draw = 1,
// PageSize = 10,
// Skip = 0,
// SortColumns[0] = "name",
// SortColumnsDir[0] = "asc",
// SearchValues["field1"] = "value1",
// SearchValues["field2"] = "value2"
// }
