Rich Text / Document model broken in .NET Core SDK?

SDKs .NET SDK
1

I’m using the .NET Core SDK. Per the Rich Text tutorial, I’m trying to use the Document type to define fields in my models. When I use the Contentful client to get data and type it as my model, the Document.Content “nodes” are empty. I can confirm when using the REST API that the values are there.

Unless I misunderstand, this is because Document.Content is defined as List[IContent] (I can’t use the proper triangle brackets in this post), and IContent has no fields defined. If IContent is being made concrete by another class that defines node properties, I don’t see it when reviewing the code base.

Please advise if this a bug or if there’s something I’m missing.

Hi @cnse-cful

There are multiple types that implement IContent, but the interface is just a marker for some type that can be a part of a rich text content structure. If you want to use your own classes as part of a rich text structure you’d implement this interface on your own types as well.

Are you using a content type resolver?

Have you tried setting ResolveEntriesSelectively = true on your ContentfulClient before making the call?

It’s working per https://www.contentful.com/developers/docs/net/tutorials/rich-text/

I truly can’t tell at this point why it wasn’t working, but it is now.

Thanks for the help.
