Creating Add Role endpoint#

As we discussed in the last lesson, let's create an endpoint for adding role. For this, we can go to UsersController and create a new endpoint. This will be Authorized endpoint and will be a post request with name, addRole. Let's write the method now; public async task of type actionResult with name add role. Inside, we need a user which is equal to userManager.findByNameAsync and inside, we can pass User.Identity.Name; after this, we can use userManager.AddToRoleAsync and pass user and the role Instructor. Finally, let's return Ok.

API/Controllers/UsersController.cs

        [Authorize]

        [HttpPost("addRole")]

        public async Task<ActionResult> AddRole()

        {

            var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(User.Identity.Name);

            await _userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user, "Instructor");

            return Ok();

        }

Now let's go to the agent file and add this endpoint inside Users. Let's call this addRole and this will be a post request so let's type the url, users/addRole, and pass the empty body.

client/src/actions/agent.ts

//

const Users = {

  login: (values: Login) => requests.post < User > ('users/login', values),

  register: (values: Register) =>

    requests.post < User > ('users/register', values),

  addCourse: () => requests.post('users/purchaseCourses', {}),

  currentUser: () => requests.get < User > 'users/currentUser',

  addRole: () => requests.post('users/addRole', {}),

};
