.NET Core 2.1 is Returning JSON with Lowercase Properties

Hi everyone,

Just testing out .Net Core 2.1 and noticed that all of my JSON properties are being returned in lowercase despite being defined as uppercase. It turns out that this is configurable:


// Change from this
services.AddMvc();

// To this
services
        .AddMvc()
        .AddJsonOptions(options => options.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver = new DefaultContractResolver());

Parsing Hash Args for Cognito Auth – Javascript

Hi everyone,

A quick post on a function for parsing hash args when using AWS Congito.

//jsfiddle.net/4eo7836j/embed/

Just in case the fiddle ever disappears:

const parseHashArgs = aURL => {

  aURL = aURL || window.location.href;

  var vars = {};
  var hashes = aURL.slice(aURL.indexOf('#') + 1).split('&');

  for (var i = 0; i  1) {
      vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
    } else {
      vars[hash[0]] = null;
    }
  }

  return vars;
};

document.body.append(parseHashArgs("#id_token=testtokenval&token_type=bearer&expires_in=3600")["id_token"]);
