Earlier in MVC I used #Ajax.ActionLink for Ajax call and replaced container in my layout.
Now in .Net Core there is anything like AjaxHelper back then.
How can I form Ajax call without writing jquery script for every menu item in my dashboard.
I tried #Url.Action with anonymous Ajax parameters but that won't work.
#Url.Action("Index", "User", new
{
data_ajax = "true",
data_ajax_method = "GET",
data_ajax_mode = "replace",
data_ajax_update = "#replace"
}))"
No. Honestly, you never needed it anyways. All it did was create a regular link and then add a trivial bit of JavaScript you can easily add yourself. Long and short, let it go:
<a class="menu-item" asp-action="Index" asp-controller="User">Click Me</a>
Then:
<script>
$('.menu-item').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.get(this.href, function (html) {
$('#replace').html(html);
});
});
</script>
By binding to the class, you only need this one piece of JS for any link with a menu-item class.

I have latest Visual Studio 2019 16.5.4 Enterprise.
I've just created an ASP .Net Core 3.1 MVC application from a template (with default settings).
And I've added some JavaScript code to a Home Page's Index.cshtml:
#{
ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
}
<div class="text-center">
<h1 class="display-4">Welcome</h1>
<p>Learn about building Web apps with ASP.NET Core.</p>
</div>
#section Scripts {
<script>
function GetJSON_Simple() {
var resp = [];
return resp;
}
debugger;
var simpleData = GetJSON_Simple();
</script>
}
And I'm not able to debug JavaScript code (breakpoints inside GetJSON_Simple function body or on var simpleData = GetJSON_Simple() is never hit). I've tried both Chrome and MS Edge (Chromium).
According to this article (Debug JavaScript in dynamic files using Razor (ASP.NET) section):
Place the debugger; statement where you want to break: This causes the
dynamic script to stop execution and start debugging immediately while
it is being created.
P.S. I've already have Tools->Options->Debugging->General with turned on Enable JavaScript Debugging for ASP.NET (Chrome and IE) checkbox and of course I'm compiling in Debug.
My test project is attached
Howto debug JavaScript inside ASP .Net Core 3.1 MVC applications
(Razor view - *.cshtml)?
In fact, it is already a well-known issue. We can not debug the js code under Net Core razor page but only for code in separate js or ts files. See this link.
Solution
To solve it, I suggest you could create a new single js file called test.js and then reference it in razor page and then you can hit into js code when you debug it.
1) create a file called test.js and migrate your js code into it:
function GetJSON_Simple() {
var resp = [];
return resp;
}
debugger;
var simpleData = GetJSON_Simple();
2) change to use this in your cshtml file:
#{
ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
}
<div class="text-center">
<h1 class="display-4">Welcome</h1>
<p>Learn about building Web apps with ASP.NET Core.</p>
</div>
#section Scripts {
<script scr="xxx/test.js">
</script>
}
3) clean your project, then rebuild your project and debug it and you will hit into Js code.
Another way is to explicitly define the source mapping name for the script directly in your javascript code via a sourceURL comment.
<script>
...your script code
//# sourceURL=blah
</script>
The script in that block will show up in Chrome with the value you specified. You can then view and debug just like a normal .js file.
This is especially useful if you don't want to refactor an existing codebase that has embedded javascript in the cshtml files or really ANY codebase that has javascript loaded on the fly.
Live Example
You can actually see an example with the built-in javascript runner here. Just click 'Run Snippet' and then search for "blahblah" in your Page sources. You should see this:
alert("test");
//# sourceURL=blahblah
I am working chrome extension which uses vue. I have found that google can take a while to publish updates, so there is some content that I would like to be able to edit with a json that is called by the extension via a $.getJSON https request. So far, that has worked pretty well for getting raw text. But I have problems when I try to add a span tag with a v-if statement such as the following:
Thank you for meeting. We have prepared the following <span v-if='docCount.length > 0'>documents</span><span v-else>document</span> for you today:
What happens is that it just says "prepared the following 'documentsdDocuments'" as if it takes all to be true.
I have gotten this result after putting the above JSON text in a v-html as follows:
<p v-html="coverLetterContent['p1']"></p>
I have gotten the same result after trying the following:
.bind(this)).then( function (result){
$(".letter-body").append("<p>"+result["letter"]["p1"]+"</p>")
});
I also tried creating a dynamic component as follows but was getting an error and nothing was rendered:
dynamicComponent: function() {
return {
template: `<p>${coverLetterContent["p1"]}</p>`,
methods: {
someAction() {
console.log("Action!");
}
}
}
}
The error I got on this was: "ReferenceError: coverLetterContent is not defined." coverLetterContent is defined in the vue app data and is accessible via the v-html call described above.
I would like to automatically click the submit button of an Ajax enabled form, so that the user does not have to click the button (but can optionally).
Right now, I'm working on the first boundary, which is to call the form from Javascript, so that at the very least, once i build my timer, I will have this part figured out.
I've tried many ways to do this, and NONE work. Please keep in mind that this is an ASP.NET MVC 4 Mobile application (which uses jquery.mobile) but I do have the jquery.mobile ajax disabled so that my button works at all (creating manual ajax based forms with updating divs, does not work in a jquery.mobile app because it hooks on the submit of all ajax forms).
So my current button works fine, I just can't seem to fire it programmatically.
I have my form:
<% using (Ajax.BeginForm("SendLocation", null, new AjaxOptions { InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, UpdateTargetId = "result", HttpMethod = "POST" }, new { #id = "locationForm" }))
{ %>
<ul data-role="listview" data-inset="true">
<li data-role="list-divider">Navigation</li>
<li><%: Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home")%></li>
<li><%: Html.ActionLink("Support", "Support", "Home")%></li>
<li data-role="list-divider">Location</li>
<%: Html.HiddenFor(model => model.GPSLongitude)%>
<%: Html.HiddenFor(model => model.GPSLatitude)%>
<li><input type="submit" id="submitButton" value="Send" /></li>
</ul>
<% } %>
I have tried to do this in javascript:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: action,
success: function () {
alert('success');
}
});
And I do get the server code firing that normally would. However, the DIV is not updated and also, the model was not intact either (it existed with all internal values null, so i assume newly instantiated).
I have also tried different ways to fire the form:
var form = $('#locationForm', $('#myForm'));
if (form == null) {
alert('could not find form');
} else {
alert('firigin on form');
form.submit(function (event) { eval($(this).attr("onsubmit")); return false; });
form.submit();
}
This did not work either:
var f = $('#locationForm', $('#myForm'));
var action = f.attr("action");
var data = f.attr("data");
$.post(action, data, function() { alert('back'); });
Which were all ways to do this that I found throughout the web.
None of them worked to fire the form and have it work the way it would normally as if a user had pressed the submit button themselves. Of course, once this fails, if I hit my submit button, it works perfectly...
Using Chrome Developer Tools, I found that the $.ajax call needs to have valid data before it will even attempt to function.
I was getting a silent Internal 500 Error on the post. But of course because of AJAX it was silent and the controller was not firing because it didn't get past IIS.
So I found out that the data I was sending, saying its JSON, was not and the .serialize() does not use JSON formatting. I tried to incorporate the JSON Javascript libraries to convert the object into JavaScript, however, this does not work either, because the Data Model object (or the form object) seems to not be compatible with those libraries. I would get errors in the JavaScript console and those libraries would crash when trying.
I decided to actually just pass the object I want manually:
var encoded = '{ GPSLongitude: ' + $('#GPSLongitude', $('#myForm')).val() + ',GPSLatitude: ' + $('#GPSLatitude', $('#myForm')).val() + '}';
Which passed the hidden fields i wanted to send (GPS LON/LAT) to the controller, and the model was intact in the controller call!
Now, for anyone that is reading this answer. the actual AJAX update process that is supposed to update the view, failed to work. Although for my purpose, I did not actually need the view to update correctly. Eventhough a partial view is returned, the special AJAX call seems to break the linkage between the form's div to update.
However, since the data was passed to the controller intact, this basically passed the GPS data that I needed to the server which was my ultimate goal.
make sure you are including the proper js libraries.
you need. jquery.js, jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js
make sure unobtrusivejavascriptenabled = true in the web.confg
<appSettings>
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true"/>
</appSettings>
please try $('#locationForm').submit();
does it give error message?
if you're using i.e. you can look use the develper tools to look at network traffic to make sure nothing is sent.
I'm having a bunch of problems getting jQuery's .on to work with my Rails ajax link.
Specifically, I've got this link:
<div id="item_7_tools" class="item_tools">
<a rel="nofollow" id="book_item_7" data-remote="true" data-method="post" class="book_link" href="bookings">Book this item</a>
</div>
I've trimmed some of the text in the HTML, but suffice to say that that, and my controller response work.
I click "Book this item", it goes off to the controller, the controller does its magic, and sends back my partial that replaces the contents of that div.
So I'm now trying to replace the contents with an ajax spinner while the loading is working, and that's where its going pear-shape.
I'm trying this initial bunch of jQuery code just to make sure I've got my javascript working:
$('div.item_tools')
.on('click', 'a', function() {
console.log("clicky click")
})
.on('ajax:beforeSend', "a", function() {
console.log('the a in div.item_tools is sending its ajax command');
})
.on('ajax:complete', "a", function() {
console.log('ajax request completed');
})
My understanding of that, is that when I then click any link (a) that lives within an element with the item_tools class, it will bubble up to this function, and then log the message into the console. Similarly, a link that has triggered an ajax request will get the same treatment...
(And assuming I can get that to work, then I'll go to work doing the ajax loader spinner).
The behaviour I'm seeing instead, is that when I click the link, there are no messages appearing in my console (trying this on both firefox and chrome), and my ajax link goes off and does its stuff correctly. Just completely ignoring the javascript...
Is this because my clicking the ajax link somehow has blocked the click event from bubbling up? I know that there's a way to do that, but I don't think I've done it anywhere knowingly. Unless OOTB rails/ujs does that?
So my questions:
Is there a way to tell what has had a binding attached to it?
What am I doing wrong with my javascript?
Thanks!
I use this all the time... and it seems to work fine.
Have you tried adding one that's .on('ajax:success')?
Besides that try putting the . for each line on the previous line...? It's possible that it gets to $('div.item_tools') and then auto-inserts a semi-colon as per javascript's standard... Although if that were the case I'd expect it to give you a JS error about the . on the next line. In any case try changing it to:
$('div.item_tools').
on('click', 'a', function() {
console.log("clicky click")
}).
on('ajax:beforeSend', "a", function() {
console.log('the a in div.item_tools is sending its ajax command');
}).
on('ajax:complete', "a", function() {
console.log('ajax request completed');
})
If worse comes to worse try just doing:
$("a").on("ajax:success", function(){
console.log('ajax:success done');
})
And see if it works without the event delegation...
Then change it to this:
$(document).on("ajax:success", "a", function(){
console.log("ajax:success with delegation to document");
})
And see if delegation works all the way up to document instead of just your item_tools
Are you sure that you've named everything right? it's div.item_tools a in your markup?
Turns out that the javascript was being triggered before the DOM had loaded, which meant that stuff weren't being bound...
$(function () {
$('div.item_tools')
.on('click', 'a', function itemToolsAjaxy() {
console.log("clicky click");
})
.on('ajax:beforeSend', "a", function() {
console.log('the a in div.item_tools is sending its ajax command');
$(this).closest('div').html('<img src=/assets/ajax-loader.gif>');
})
});
Added the $(function()) right at the beginning and it delayed the binding until after the DOM had loaded, and then it started working.
Figured this out by using the Chrome developer tools to stick a break on the div.item_tools selector and watched as the browser hit that even before the DOM had been loaded. /facepalm
(I removed the .on('ajax:complete') callback, because it turns out that there's a known limitation where the original trigger element no longer exists because it had been replaced, so there's nothing to perform the callback on. Not relevant to my original problem, but I thought I'd mention it.)
As far as i'm aware, you can either do ajax stuff 2 ways:
By using :remote => true
By using jQuery's $.ajax (or $.post).
With number 2, make sure to change your href='#'
My suggeston is to remove the :remote => true and manually make a jQuery ajax call. That way you can use beforeSend, complete, etc.
If i'm way off track here, someone please help clarify things for me as well.
I am preparing a mvc 4 application and I am pretty new to it. I would like to implement a functionality like by double clicking a row of mvc 4 webgrid I should call an action method in ajax. But unfortunately I could not find how to implement double click on mvc 4 web grid.
Can you please help me on that?
You could use the .dblclick() event in jQuery. For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('table td').dblclick(function() {
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("SomeAction", "SomeController")',
type: 'POST',
success: function(result) {
// do something with the result from your AJAX call
}
});
});
});
</script>
Obviously there are lots of improvements that could be done to this code. For example you could use HTML5 data-* attributes on your grid to specify the url to the controller action that needs to be invoked and then externalize this script in a separate javascript file. You might also need to adjust the jQuery selector to match your WebGrid element.
