Lesson 9 - Article administration and editor in ASP.NET Core MVC

C# .NET ASP.NET Core ASP.NET Core MVC Basics Article administration and editor in ASP.NET Core MVC

In the previous lesson, Scaffolding and Entity Framework in ASP.NET Core MVC, we introduced scaffolding and Entity Framework Core. In today's ASP.NET Core tutorial, we're going to modify the generated article administration and add an article editor. Let's show how it'll look like:

Templates modification

First, we'll modify the individual cshtml templates.

Index.cshtml

The Index.cshtml view (for the ArticlesController controller) displays a list of articles in a table. We'll set the title there, delete the <h2> heading, delete the header row, and add an ID and CSS style for the table.

@model IEnumerable<AspBlog.Models.Article>

@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "List of articles";
}

<p>
    <a asp-action="Create">Create new</a>
</p>
<table class="table" id="articles">
    <tbody>
        @foreach (var item in Model) {
        <tr>
            <td>
                <h2><a asp-action="Details" asp-route-id="@item.Id">@item.Title</a></h2>
                <p>@item.Description</p>
                <p>
                    <a asp-action="Edit" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Edit</a> |
                    <a asp-action="Delete" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Delete</a>
                </p>
            </td>
        </tr>
        }
    </tbody>
</table>

First, we define that the view's model is a collection of our articles and set the page title for the layout. Using tag helpers, we then generate

Premium article

ict.social is a large database made up of manuals and tutorials, whose main goal is to provide high-quality IT education to everyone. We started out in the Czech republic, where we display roughly a million articles per month and receive plenty of gratitude from our users. Thanks to our successful establishment, we are now bringing these articles to the rest of the world.

Although we are trying to keep our content free of charge, maintaining the site is a huge effort for everyone involved. Therefore, some content (exercises and more advanced material) costs network points. Don't worry, they're really cheap :)
