onget handler razor pages - asp.net-core

Question

I have a button on a GET Form on asp.net core razor pages
<form method="get" asp-page="Index">
<button type="submit" asp-page="Index" asp-page-handler="Something" class="btn btn-primary"></button>
</form>
and the code behind
public IActionResult OnGetSomething(){
//... some code
return Page();
}
My problem is the onget handler code is never executed
If the form is POST the onpost handler will work fine but if it is GET it doesn’t work
So what am I missing here? and how to make the onget handler work?

Answer 1

When you submit a form using GET, the browser trashes query string values in the form action and replaces them with a new query string built from the form fields. You can hit your handler by adding an appropriate hidden field to the form:
<form method="get" asp-page="Index">
<input type="hidden" name="handler" value="Something" />
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Get</button>
</form>

Answer 2

you can't go to get method because of parameters miss matching.
Suppose:
In controller
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Create()
{
return View();
}
//Post Method
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> Create(string Name)
{
}
In View:
<form asp-action="Create">
<div asp-validation-summary="ModelOnly" class="text-danger"></div>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Name" class="control-label"></label>
<input asp-for="Name" class="form-control" />
<span asp-validation-for="Name" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>]
<div class="form-group">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-primary" />
</div>
</form>
Then it go post method cause it has 1 parameters (Name). if we not net any input or parameters are not same then it hit different method.
