String array input from query string in Az Function .net5

Question

Migrated my Azure Function to .net5 the other day and now I'm struggling with basic input binding stuff.

My query => /api/query?sgtins=foo1&sgtins=foo2

On version 3.1, a simple req.Query["sgtins"] would do the job. But now on .net5 I have no idea. Using strings, ints etc. is fine but as soon as I use an IEnumerable it crashes during runtime. Any ideas? Documentation regarding .net5 is pathetic at the moment :(

This is my demo code. Using url as mentioned above.

Here is the exception;

Use the Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebUtilities.QueryHelpers to parse the HttpRequestData.Uri to get the query parameter.

 var queryDictionary = 
    Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebUtilities.QueryHelpers.ParseQuery(req.Uri.Query);

Now using above dictionary you can the get values collections as

var sgtins = queryDictionary["sgtins"];

Here sgtins is type of StringValues struct. Check StringValues.

Thank you sir! That worked! Very odd that this basic input binding functionally isn't there out of the box.

You can access the query parameters by adding them to function parameter list. stackoverflow.com/a/69256872/6332983
