Submit form and do controller action from ViewComponent in ASP.NET Core

In ASP.NET Core, it is possible to submit a form and call a controller action from a ViewComponent by using AJAX.

Here are the steps to submit a form and call a controller action from a ViewComponent in ASP.NET Core:

  1. Create a form in your ViewComponent's view:

    <form id="myForm"> <input type="text" name="input1"> <input type="text" name="input2"> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form>

  2. Add a jQuery AJAX function to the view to submit the form and call the controller action:

    <script> $(function () { $("#myForm").on("submit", function (e) { e.preventDefault(); var form = $(this); var url = form.attr("action"); var data = form.serialize(); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: url, data: data, success: function (result) { // Handle the response from the server here }, error: function (xhr, status, error) { // Handle the error here } }); }); }); </script>

  3. In your ViewComponent's code, add a method that returns a partial view with the form:

    public class MyViewComponent : ViewComponent { public IViewComponentResult Invoke() { return View(); } }

  4. In your controller, add an action that handles the form submission:

    public class MyController : Controller { [HttpPost] public IActionResult MyAction(string input1, string input2) { // Handle the form submission here return PartialView("_MyPartialView"); } }

  5. Add a route to your Startup.cs file that maps the action to a URL:

    app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints.MapControllerRoute( name: "myRoute", pattern: "mycontroller/myaction", defaults: new { controller = "My", action = "MyAction" }); });

  6. Update the url variable in the AJAX function to point to the action's URL:

    <script> $(function () { $("#myForm").on("submit", function (e) { e.preventDefault(); var form = $(this); var url = "/mycontroller/myaction"; // Update the URL here var data = form.serialize(); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: url, data: data, success: function (result) { // Handle the response from the server here }, error: function (xhr, status, error) { // Handle the error here } }); }); }); </script>

That's it! You have now submitted a form and called a controller action from a ViewComponent in ASP.NET Core using AJAX. Note that in this example, we are submitting a form using a POST request, but you can also use a GET request by updating the type parameter in the AJAX function.
