Attribute Access to HttpContext in AspNetCore Api Controller Function

Question

How can I do something like this:

        [OfficeAuthorize(HttpContext.Request.etc)]

I'm guessing it's some sort of DependencyInjection, but I'm not sure where I would do that.

My Api has the officeId in the Url /api/{officeId}/etc I want to check if the user is in that office with my own custom authorization attribute. — Tom Crosman

the context was available via the AuthorizationFilterContext in the OnAuthorizing function

    public void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationFilterContext context)
    {
        var body = context.HttpContext.Request.Body;
        //custom validation rule
    }

Note that AuthorizationFilterContext also has a property ActionDescriptor, which in turn has a RouteValues property. This should contain officeId.

@John do you have an example of using ActionDescriptor in this scenario?

I do not, but you could set a breakpoint and inspect its values at runtime to get an idea of how the data is structured.
