Documentation:MVC

The Turnkey WebApplication uses MVC for index and login pages - it defaults to angularjs for all other pages. To get MVC on other pages you must set tagged value MVC=true on ViewModel.

MVC works differently from Angular in a number of ways - the main differences are these:

• Grid-row-clicks, in MVC select of row is done if there are zero or many actions, but if there is 1 action (defined in ViewModel) this action is executed on row click
• MVC never shows a popup menu of multiple actions as angular does

New MVC Notes Autumn 2021

New nuget packages for .net5 and .netStandard are published on nuget and named MDriven.*

To get a package into a EcoSpace by code add an attribute to EcoSpace like [EcoSpacePackage(typeof(Package1Package))]

To get binding a codegen ViewModel to work go like this:

public IActionResult View([ModelBinder(typeof(VMClassBinder))] SampleViewModel value)
{
  return View("View");
}

To supress the bogus validation done on VMClass go like this:

var mvc = services.AddMvc(options =>
{
  options.ModelMetadataDetailsProviders.Add(new SuppressChildValidationMetadataProvider(typeof(VMClass)));
}); // to avoid validation of the complete world by following VMClass refs
