SlackAPI - payload deserialization with dynamic json properties - json

Question

I work on my SlackAPI application.
I have created the modal window and when the form from this modal is submitted - I receive a JSON payload that looks like this (not important JSON part is removed)
{
"type":"view_submission",
"view":{
"state":{
"values":{
"IGhn":{
"e5+":{
"type":"static_select",
"selected_option":{
"text":{
"type":"plain_text",
"text":"2021\/8",
"emoji":true
},
"value":"2"
}
}
}
}
},
This payload is processed by my endpoint correctly - except the part - state - values, which are nulls...
I have the models defined like this:
public class View
{
...
[JsonProperty("state")]
public State State { get; set; }
...
}
public class State
{
[JsonProperty("values")]
public Dictionary<string, Values> Values { get; set; }
}
public class Values
{
[JsonProperty()] // <- This is the problem
public Dictionary<string, DynamicValue> something { get; set; }
}
public class DynamicValue
{
[JsonProperty("selectedOptions")] // <- This is null
public Dictionary<string, SelectedOption> SelectedOptions { get; set; }
}
If the values (property names) will be static it will be okay, but the problem is, that : IGhn / e5+ are dynamically changing - so the deserialization does not work...
Must say that the whole JSON is deserialized correctly, but I can't deserialize the rest in under IGhn (I even don't know how to create class for it...do the deserializer know what to do.... )

Answer 1

Ok - I found the solution:
I have changed the class State:
public class State
{
[JsonProperty("values")]
public Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, ParentForSelectedOption>> Values { get; set; }
}
Then Object ParentForSelectedOption is deserialized in a regular way - so these dynamic names were solved by the use of Dictionaries
and these can be removed:
public class Values
{
[JsonProperty()] // <- This is the problem
public Dictionary<string, DynamicValue> something { get; set; }
}
public class DynamicValue
{
[JsonProperty("selectedOptions")] // <- This is null
public Dictionary<string, SelectedOption> SelectedOptions { get; set; }
}
