Author : MD TAREQ HASSAN | Updated : 2021/11/16

GitHub GraphQL API Explorer

Go to: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/graphql/overview/explorer

Top panel (query):

query($number_of_repos:Int!){
  viewer {
     repositories(last: $number_of_repos) {
       nodes {
        name,
        createdAt,
        updatedAt,
        url
       }
     }
   }
}

Bottom panel (query variables)

{
   "number_of_repos": 100
}

Deserialize from json file

Json to CSharp class

Go to: https://jsonformatter.org/
Paste json ({ "nodes" : [...] }) from GitHub GraphQL API Explorer
Format/Beautify
Create github-repos.json file in wwwroot/sample-data/
Paste formatted json string (paste only list i.e. [ ... ], see sample json file below)
Go to: https://json2csharp.com/
Get CSharp class from single json object i.e. { ... }
Rename classes if needed (check if property names start with small letter -> make it capital letter if needed)

Models Repository.cs

public class Repository
{
	public string name { get; set; }
	public DateTime createdAt { get; set; }
	public DateTime updatedAt { get; set; }
	public string url { get; set; }
}

Deserialize

using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Json;

protected List<Repository> Repositories { get; set; }

Repositories = await Http.GetFromJsonAsync<List<Repository>>("sample-data/github-repos.json");

Debug.WriteLine($"Repos Count: {Repositories.Count}");

Deserialize from excaped string

Json to CSharp class

Go to: https://jsonformatter.org/
Paste json ({ "nodes" : [...] }) from GitHub GraphQL API Explorer
Modify as: { "Repositories" : [...] } and Format/Beautify
Go to: https://json2csharp.com/
Get CSharp classes from formatted json string
Rename classes if needed (check if property names start with small letter -> make it capital letter if needed)

Minify JSON and escape json string

Go to: https://jsonformatter.org/
Paste JSON string and Minify/Compact
Go to: https://jsonformatter.org/json-escape
Paste minified json string and create escaped string

Deserialize JSON to CSharp object

Use a string readonly variable to hold escaped JSON string i.e. string readonly JsonString = " <escaped string here> "
Deserialize: var repoList = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Foo>(JsonString)

C# classes

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Foo.Models
{
    public class Repository
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public DateTime createdAt { get; set; }
        public DateTime updatedAt { get; set; }
        public string url { get; set; }
    }

    public class GithubRepoInfo
    {
        public List<Repository> repositories { get; set; }
    }
}

Deserialize to C# object list

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text.Json;


protected GithubRepoInfo GithubRepoInfo { get; set; }
protected List<Repository> RepoList { get; set; }

GithubRepoInfo = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<GithubRepoInfo>(JsonString);
RepoList = GithubRepoInfo.Repositories;
