Member Function Documentation

◆ GetClientId()

int BetterFinds.Utils.Client.GetClientId	(	HttpContext	httpContext,
		ClaimsPrincipal	user
	)

inline

Returns the ClientId of the currently logged in client.

Parameters

httpContext	The HttpContext instance.
user	The ClaimsPrincipal instance.

Returns: The ClientId of the currently logged in client.

Usage example:

var clientUtils = new ClientUtils(configuration);

int clientId = clientUtils.GetClientId(HttpContext, User);

BetterFinds::Utils.Client.configuration

readonly IConfiguration configuration

The IConfiguration instance.

Definition: Client.cs:14

This method checks if the user is authenticated.

If the user is authenticated, it attempts to obtain the ClientId from the session cookie.

If that fails, it retrieves the ClientId from the database using the provided HttpContext and ClaimsPrincipal instances, serving as a fallback.

This ensures that the ClientId is still obtained even if the session cookie is unavailable.

◆ GetClients()

List<Dictionary<string, object> > BetterFinds.Utils.Client.GetClients ( )

inline

Returns a list of all clients in the database.

This method is used to populate the list of clients in the Auction page. Avoiding the multiple database calls that would be required to obtain the clients information. The dictionary returned by this method contains the following keys:

{
    "ClientId": int,
    "FullName": string,
    "Username": string
}

Returns: A list of all clients in the database.
