POST endpint that creates a resource and returns it in the body - for CreatedAtAction action name should contain GET action not POST Action

[flamaniac]

Description

In the examples here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/web-api/action-return-types?view=aspnetcore-9.0#asynchronous-action-1

the first parameter of CreatedAtAction points to the same method (POST) but in description, it states that the location header will be pointing to the get method.

It is confusing.
Shouldn't this be GET like here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64315534

Where do you see something that indicates

the first parameter of CreatedAtAction points to the same method (POST)

[flamaniac]

In the example under the link in descriprion .

return CreatedAtAction(nameof(CreateAsync_ActionResultOfT), new { id = product.Id }, product);

Should be "nameof(GetProductAsync)"

Similar to: #34081

You are correct, thanks for reporting this. I'm fixing it in #34390 and dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs.Samples#268
