How to use AJAX for ViewComponent in Asp.Net Core? That is calling the method @Component.Invoke ("ComponentName", SomeData); ViewComponent will involve various views depending on SomeData without rebooting the main view.
Update
My solution is:
$(function () {
$(Container).load('ControllerName/ControllerAction', {
ArgumentName: ArgumentValue });
});
Controller :
public IActionResult ControllerAction(string value)
{
return ViewComponent("ViewComponent", value);
}
Is there a way to directly use a ViewComponent as AjaxHelpers in previous versions?
Your solution is correct. From the docs:
[ViewComponents are] not reachable directly as an HTTP endpoint, they're invoked from your code (usually in a view). A view component never handles a request.
While view components don't define endpoints like controllers, you can easily implement a controller action that returns the content of a ViewComponentResult.
So as you suggested, a lightweight controller can act as an AJAX proxy to our ViewComponent.
public class MyViewComponentController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Get(int id)
{
return ViewComponent("MyViewComponent", new { id });
}
}
