# ByteArrayFormatters

Simple mapping between entire HTTP payload and `[FromBody] byte[]` parameter or return value.

## Background

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44090784/unsupported-media-types-when-post-to-web-api/44823478

## Usage

Install the package to your project:

    Install-Package Earwicker.ByteArrayFormatters

Get access to the namespace:

```csharp

using Earwicker.ByteArrayFormatters;

```

Configure MVC in your `ConfigureServices` method:

```csharp

services.AddMvc(options =>

{

    options.InputFormatters.Add(new ByteArrayInputFormatter());

    options.OutputFormatters.Add(new ByteArrayOutputFormatter());

});

```

You can now use the `[FromBody]` attribute on controller method parameters of type `byte[]`:

```csharp

[HttpPut("files/{*path}")]

public void PutFile(string path, [FromBody] byte[] content)

{

    ...

}

```

You can also return `byte[]` from a controller method. The byte array takes up the entire payload of the HTTP request or response.
