ASP.NET MVC5 Project

This is an MVC app developed with .NET Framework 4.8 for learning purposes.

1 - File Structure

  • App_Start: Configuration Files. Loads at application start
  • Content: CSS,images, client side assets
  • Controllers: Operations for handling requests
  • Models: Domain classes
  • Scripts: JS files
  • Views: Corresponding views for controller actions
  • favicon: Website icon
  • Global.asax: Hooks for various events and application lifecycle
  • packages.config: Nuget package dependencies list
  • Startup.cs: New approach for startup configurations and logic (Net Core and beyond)
  • Web.config: Configuration for application like DB connection strings,app settings for defining configuration settings

2 - Fundamentals

Controller Action Structures

Action Results

Type Helper Method
ViewResult View()
PartialViewResult PartialView()
ContentResult Content()
RedirectResult Redirect()
RedirectToRouteResult RedirectToAction()
JsonResult Json()
FileResult File()
HttpNotFoundResult HttpNotFound()
EmptyResult -

some examples

public ActionResult Test()
	{
		return View(data);
		return Content("Hello World!");
		return HttpNotFound();
		return new EmptyResult();
		return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home", new {page="1",sortBy="name"});
	}		

Parameter Sources

  • Embedded in the URL: /movies/edit/1
  • In the query string: /movies/edit?id=1
  • In the form data

Routing

  • Convention based routing: in Routeconfig.cs

  • routes.MapRoute(
      		 "MoviesByReleaseDate", //name of route
      		"movies/released/{year}/{month}", //route url
      		new{controller="Movies",action="ByReleaseDate"}, //default corresponding controller and actions
      		new{year=@"2020|2021",month=@"\d{2}"}); //constraints for parameters
  • Attribute routing: in Routeconfig.cs add routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes(); Before controller use attribute [Route("url template")]. Also constraints like min, max, minlength, maxlength, int, float, guid could be used.

  • [Route("movies/released/{year:regex(\\d{4}:range(1800,2021))}/{month:regex(\\d{2}:range(1,12))}")]
    public ActionResult ByReleaseDate(int year,int month)
      {
      	return Content(year + "/" + month);
      }

Passing Data to Views

  • in controller
public ActionResult Test()
	{
	var movie = new Movie() { Name = "Shrek!" };
	
	ViewData["Movie"] = movie;
	ViewBag.Movie = movie;
	
	return View(movie);
}
  • in view
<h2>@Model.Name</h2> <!-- preffered way -->
<h2>@( ((Movie) ViewData["Movie"]).Name)</h2> <!-- ugly way / dont use -->
<h2>@ViewBag.Movie.Name</h2> <!-- casted at runtime / not safe -->
  • ViewModels: consists multiple models.
  • in ViewModel folder
public class RandomMovieViewModel
{
	public Movie Movie { get; set; }
	public List<Customer> Customers { get; set; }
}
  • in controller
public class MoviesController : Controller
{
	// GET: Movies
	public ActionResult Random()
	{
		//adding data
		var movie = new Movie() { Name = "Shrek!" };
		
		var customers = new List<Customer>
		{
			new Customer {Name = "cust1"},
			new Customer {Name = "cust2"}
		};
		//filing viewmodel with data
		var viewModel = new RandomMovieViewModel()
		{
			Movie = movie, 
			Customers = customers
		};

		return View(viewModel);
	}

Razor Syntax

@*
	this is a razor comment
*@
@{
	//multiple lines
	//when razor sees html prints it and when razor sees csharp interprets it
}
@{
	var className = Model.Customers.Count > 0 ? "popular" : null;
}
 
<h2 class="@className">@Model.Movie.Name</h2>  <!-- preferred way -->
@if (Model.Customers.Count == 0)
{
	<p>No one has rented this movie before.</p>
}
 
<ul>
@foreach (var customer in Model.Customers)
   {
	   <li>@customer.Name</li>
   }
</ul>

Partial Views

Create View in views as view and select partial view. Usage in another views@Html.Partial("_PartialView", Model.Data)

3 - Working with Data

  • Entity Framework: an ORM that maps data in a relational database to our objects by using context file.

  • Linq: Method like SQL queries.

  • Workflows: Database First, Code First.

  • DB First: Design database tables first, later let EF generate domain classes according to tables.

  • Code First: Create domain classes first, later let EF generate database tables for us.

Code-first migrations

DbSet to table name in Context : DbContext class in package manager console PM > enable-migrations , PM> add-migration migrationName, PM> update-database

Seeding db: put sql commands in a migrations up() method

Querying Objects

in controller

private Context _context;
public CustomersController()
	  {
		  _context = new Context();
	  }
//...
public ActionResult Index()
	{
	var customers = _context.Customers.ToList();
	return View(customers);
	}
//...
public ActionResult Details(int id)
	{
	var customer = _context.Customers.Single(c => c.Id == id);
	return View(customer);
	}		

Eager Loading

load relational foreign table : _context.Customer.Include(c=>c.MembershipType).ToList();

4 - Building Forms

Markup

in View:

@using (Html.BeginForm(actionName: "Create", controllerName: "Customers"))
{
	<div class="form-group">
		@Html.LabelFor(m=>m.Name)
		@Html.TextBoxFor(m=>m.Name,new {@class="form-control"})
	</div>
}

Labels

in Model with data annotation:

[Display(Name="Date of Birth")]
public DateTime? Birthdate { get; set; }

or in view with <label for="Birthdate">Date of Birth</label>

Dropdown Lists

create viewmodel:

public class NewCustomerViewModel
{
	public IEnumerable<MembershipType> MembershipTypes { get; set; }
	public Customer Customer { get; set; }
}

in controller:

var membershipTypes = _context.MembershipTypes.ToList();
 
var viewModel = new NewCustomerViewModel()
{
	MembershipTypes = membershipTypes
};

in view:

<div class="form-group">
	@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Customer.MembershipTypeId)
	@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Customer.MembershipTypeId, new SelectList(Model.MembershipTypes,"Id","Name"),"Select Membership Type", new { @class = "form-control" })
</div>

Model Binding

in controller:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(Customer customer)
{
	//...
	return View();
}

in view make sure of action name and controller name

(Html.BeginForm(actionName: "Create", controllerName: "Customers"))
//...

Saving Data

[HttpPost]
 public ActionResult Create(Customer customer)
 {
	 _context.Customers.Add(customer);
	 _context.SaveChanges();
 
	 return RedirectToAction("Index","Customers");
 }

Edit Form

fill data with corresponding item from id in controller:

	 public ActionResult Edit(int id)
	{
		var customer = _context.Customers.SingleOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
 
		if (customer==null)
			return HttpNotFound();
 
		var viewModel = new CustomerFormViewModel()
		{
			Customer = customer,
			MembershipTypes = _context.MembershipTypes.ToList()
		};
		return View("CustomerForm", viewModel);
	}
}

Updating Data

if not exists add, if exists update. in controller map the attributes

public ActionResult Save(Customer customer)
{
	if(customer.Id==0) 
		_context.Customers.Add(customer);
	else
	{
		var customerInDb = _context.Customers.Single(c => c.Id == customer.Id);
 
 
		customerInDb.Name = customer.Name;
		customerInDb.Birthdate = customer.Birthdate;
		customerInDb.MembershipTypeId = customer.MembershipTypeId;
		customerInDb.IsSubscribedToNewsletter = customer.IsSubscribedToNewsletter;
	}
 
	_context.SaveChanges();
 
	return RedirectToAction("Index","Customers");
}

add the dependent id field in view as hidden:

@Html.HiddenFor(m=>m.Customer.Id)

5 - Implementing Validation

Adding Validation

step1: add annotations in model, step2: add validation control in controller. when not valid return form with users data

if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
    var viewModel = new CustomerFormViewModel
    {
    Customer = customer,
    MembershipTypes=_context.MembershipTypes.ToList()
    };
    return View("CustomerForm",viewModel);
}

step3: add validation message to view:

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m=>m.Customer.Name)

Styling Validation Error access these classes and stylize:

.field-validation-error{
    color:red;
}
.input-validation-error{
    border:2px red;
}

Overriding Validation Message in model add this to required data annotation

[Required(ErrorMessage ="Please enter customer's name.")]
 [StringLength(255)]
 
 public string Name { get; set; }

Custom Validation

step1: create a class that inherits ValidationAttribute (using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations)

public class Min18YearsIfAMember : ValidationAttribute
   {
       protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext validationContext)
       {
           var customer = (Customer)validationContext.ObjectInstance;
 
           if (customer.MembershipTypeId==0|| customer.MembershipTypeId == 1)
           {
               return ValidationResult.Success;
           }
           if (customer.Birthdate == null)
           {
               return new ValidationResult("Birthdate is required.");
           }
 
           var age = DateTime.Today.Year - customer.Birthdate.Value.Year;
 
           return (age >= 18) 
               ? ValidationResult.Success 
               : new ValidationResult("Customer should be at least 18 years old to go on a membership.")
       }
   }

step2: add data annotation to model

[Display(Name = "Membership Type")]
[Min18YearsIfAMember]
public byte MembershipTypeId { get; set; }

step3: add message to view

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m=>m.Customer.MembershipTypeId)

Validation Summary

@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Please fix the following errors.")

excludePropertyErrors: true hides individual error listing message: the displayed message to user (could be stylized)

Client-side validation

add this to forms on view

@section scripts{
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}

Anti-forgery Tokens

in views use this html helper:

@Html.AntiForgeryToken()

and in controller action add this data annotation:

6 - Web API

Bulding the API

in controllers create an web api an add this to global.asax.js:

GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);

in controller initialize context:

private Context _context;
 
  public CustomersController()
  {
      _context = new Context();
  }

create get/post/put methods like: Get All:

//GET /api/customers
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<Customer> GetCustomers()
{
    return _context.Customers.ToList();
}

Get One:

//GET /api/customers/1
[HttpGet]
public Customer GetCustomer(int id)
{
    var customer = _context.Customers.SingleOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
 
    if (customer == null)
        throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
 
    return customer;
}

Create:

//POST /api/customers
[HttpPost]
public Customer CreateCustomer(Customer customer)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
 
    _context.Customers.Add(customer);
    _context.SaveChanges();
 
    return customer;
}

Update:

//PUT /api/customers/1
        [HttpPut]
        public void UpdateCustomer(int id,Customer customer)
        {
            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
                throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
 
            var customerInDb = _context.Customers.SingleOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
 
            if (customerInDb == null)
                throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
 
            customerInDb.Name = customer.Name;
            customerInDb.Birthdate = customer.Birthdate;
            customerInDb.IsSubscribedToNewsletter = customer.IsSubscribedToNewsletter;
            customerInDb.MembershipTypeId = customer.MembershipTypeId;
 
            _context.SaveChanges();
        }

Delete:

//DELETE /api/customers/1
[HttpDelete]
public void DeleteCustomer(int id)
{
    var customerInDb = _context.Customers.SingleOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
 
    if (customerInDb == null)
        throw new 	HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
	 
    _context.Customers.Remove(customerInDb);
    _context.SaveChanges();
}

Test with postman

Data Transfer Objects

Domain objects that we remove the data we don't want to be changed or shown. Shaped for our needs. Store in Dtos folder

AutoMapper (4.1.1)

in App_Start create MappingProfile.cs:

public class MappingProfile : Profile
{
    public MappingProfile()
    {
        Mapper.CreateMap<Customer, CustomerDto>();
        Mapper.CreateMap<CustomerDto, Customer>();
    }
}

add Mapper to Global.asax.cs

protected void Application_Start()
{
    Mapper.Initialize(c=>c.AddProfile<MappingProfile>());
    //..
}

update controller actions:

//GET /api/customers
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<CustomerDto> GetCustomers()
{
    return _context.Customers.ToList().Select(Mapper.Map<Customer, CustomerDto>);
}
//GET /api/customers/1
[HttpGet]
public CustomerDto GetCustomer(int id)
{
    var customer = _context.Customers.SingleOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
 
    if (customer == null)
        throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
 
    return Mapper.Map<Customer, CustomerDto>(customer);
}
//POST /api/customers
[HttpPost]
public CustomerDto CreateCustomer(CustomerDto customerDto)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
 
    var customer = Mapper.Map<CustomerDto, Customer>(customerDto);
    _context.Customers.Add(customer);
    _context.SaveChanges();
 
    customerDto.Id = customer.Id;
 
    return customerDto;
}
//PUT /api/customers/1
[HttpPut]
public void UpdateCustomer(int id, CustomerDto customerDto)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
 
    var customerInDb = _context.Customers.SingleOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
 
    if (customerInDb == null)
        throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
 
    Mapper.Map(customerDto, customerInDb);
 
 
    _context.SaveChanges();
}

Camel Notation

in App_Start WebApiConfig.cs add in register

var settings = config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings;
         settings.ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver();
         settings.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;

IHttpActionResult

Correct Http results for our actions:

//GET /api/customers/1
[HttpGet]
public IHttpActionResult GetCustomer(int id)
{
    var customer = _context.Customers.SingleOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
 
    if (customer == null)
        return NotFound();
 
    return Ok(Mapper.Map<Customer, CustomerDto>(customer));
}
//POST /api/customers
[HttpPost]
public IHttpActionResult CreateCustomer(CustomerDto customerDto)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        return BadRequest();
 
    var customer = Mapper.Map<CustomerDto, Customer>(customerDto);
    _context.Customers.Add(customer);
    _context.SaveChanges();
 
    customerDto.Id = customer.Id;
 
    return Created(new Uri(Request.RequestUri+"/"+customer.Id),customerDto);
}

7 - Client-side Development

jQuery, Ajax

in view add classes, data and id to items. and at the end script:

<table id="customers" <--- 
       class="table table-borderless">
           <tr class="danger">
               <th>Customers</th>
....
....
<td>
    <button data-customer-id="@item.Id" <---
            class="btn-link js-delete" <---
            >
        Delete
    </button>
</td>
.....
@section scripts{
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#customers .js-delete").on("click", function () {
                var button = $(this);
                if (confirm("sure to delete?")) {
                    $.ajax({
                        url: "/api/customers/" + button.attr("data-customer-id"),
                        method: "DELETE",
                        success:function() {
                            alert("success");
                            button.parents("tr").remove();
                        }
                    });
                }
            });
        });
    </script>
}     

Bootbox

add in BundleConfig.cs:

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/bootstrap").Include(
          "~/Scripts/bootstrap.js",
          "~/Scripts/bootbox.js", //<--- here
          "~/Scripts/respond.js"
          ));

implement in view:

@section scripts{
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#customers .js-delete").on("click", function () {
            var button = $(this);
            bootbox.confirm("sure to delete?", function (result) {
                if (result) {
                    $.ajax({
                        url: "/api/customers/" + button.attr("data-customer-id"),
                        method: "DELETE",
                        success: function () {
                            alert("success");
                            button.parents("tr").remove();
                        }
                    });
                }
            });
        });
    });
</script>
}

DataTables

add to bundles: (and we merged third party bundles to lib. in _Layout.cshtml -> @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/lib"))

         bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/lib").Include(
                        "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js",
                        "~/Scripts/bootstrap.js",
                        "~/Scripts/bootbox.js",
                        "~/Scripts/respond.js",
                        "~/Scripts/DataTables/jquery.dataTables.js", //<--
                        "~/Scripts/DataTables/dataTables.bootstrap.js" //<--
                        ));
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include(
               "~/Content/bootstrap.css",
               "~/content/datatables/css/dataTables.bootstrap.css", //<-- style
               "~/Content/site.css"));

in view tables should have id and thead, tbody tags. lastly in script section when document ready:

$(document).ready(function () {
            $("#customers").DataTable();
    //...
}

DataTables with Ajax Source (API)

in jquery datatable call:

$(document).ready(function () {
        $("#customers").DataTable({
            ajax: {
                url: "/api/customers",
                dataSrc: ""
            },
            columns: [
                {
                    data: "name",
                    render: function (data, type, customer) {
                        return "<a href='/customers/edit/'" + customer.id + "'>" + customer.name;
                    }
                },
                {
                    data: "membershipType.name"
                },
                {
                    data: "id",
                    render: function (data) {
                        return "<button class='btn-link js-delete' data-customer-id=" + data + ">Delete</button>";
                    }
                }
            ]
        });

step 1: create dto, step 2: add dto to parent dto step 3.map in mapping profile step 4: add to controller (._appDbContext.Customers.Include(c=>c.MembershipType).ToList()..) step 5: add to view column like:

{
    data: "membershipType.name"
},

Removing records bug

assign table to variable and use it in remove method:

    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            var table //<--
            = $("#customers").DataTable({
                ajax: {
                    url: "/api/customers",
                    dataSrc: ""
                },
                columns: [
                    {
                        data: "name",
                        render: function (data, type, customer) {
                            return "<a href='/customers/edit/'" + customer.id + "'>" + customer.name;
                        }
                    },
                    {
                        data: "membershipType.name"
                    },
                    {
                        data: "id",
                        render: function (data) {
                            return "<button class='btn-link js-delete' data-customer-id=" + data + ">Delete</button>";
                        }
                    }
                ]
            });


            $("#customers").on("click", ".js-delete", function () {
                var button = $(this);
                bootbox.confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this customer?", function (result) {
                    if (result) {
                        $.ajax({
                            url: "/api/customers/" + button.attr("data-customer-id"),
                            method: "DELETE",
                            success: function () {
                                ///<--- here
                                table.row(button.parents("tr"))
                                    .remove().draw();
                            }
                        });
                    }
                });
            });
        });
    </script>

8 - Authentication and Authorization

all the logic comes built in (see commit for files and details)

Restricting Access

add [Authorize] attribute to controller actions or on top of the controller to restrict all actions

FilterConfig.cs:

filters.Add(new AuthorizeAttribute());

this disables all controllers for unauthorized users but you can add [AllowAnonymous] to controllers or actions to enable access

Seeding the database: To keep the consistency of the project on different work scenarios add them to a migration

Working with Roles

create separate views for guests and authorized users

in controller:

public ViewResult Index(int? pageIndex, string sortBy)
 {
     if (User.IsInRole(RoleName.CanManageMovies))
         return View("List");
     return View("ReadOnlyList");   
}

to disable other actions access add this attribute: [Authorize(Roles = RoleName.CanManageMovies)]

create a model for keeping roles RoleName.cs:

public const string CanManageMovies = "CanManageMovies";

Adding Profile data

to add custom fields to the user: add the prop to both application user class and viewmodel of the view. also add new prop to register actions assignment section

OAuth (Open Authorization) - Social Logins

enable ssl in properties, add filter

filters.Add(new RequireHttpsAttribute());

get AppId and AppSecret from facebook, google ... insert in startup.auth.cs

app.UseFacebookAuthentication(
   appId: "id",
   appSecret: "secret");

add any custom props to external login form and viewmodel. initialize in external login controller

9 - Performance Optimization

Glimpse

in nuget install Glimpse.MVC5 and Glimpse.EF6 go to /glimse.axd and enable

Caching

Disable caching: [OutputCache(Duration = 0, VaryByParam = "*", NoStore = true)]

Enable caching:

[OutputCache(Duration=50,Location=OutputCacheLocation.Server,VaryByParam="genre")]

Data Cache

in controller action

if (MemoryCache.Default["Genres"] == null)
        {
            MemoryCache.Default["Genres"] = _appDbContext.Genres.ToList();
        }
 
        var genres = MemoryCache.Default["Genres"] as IEnumerable<Genre>;

Disabling Session

in Web.config in system.web

10 - Building a Feature End to end

we gonna add a renting feature to our app Create Dto: NewRentalDto:

public class NewRentalDto
{
    public int CustomerId { get; set; }
    public List<int> MovieIds { get; set; }
}

Create Model: Rental, add to context and run a migration

public class Rental
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    [Required]
    public Customer Customer { get; set; }
    [Required]
    public Movie Movie { get; set; }
    public DateTime DateRented { get; set; }
    public DateTime? DateReturned { get; set; }
}

11 - Publishing & Deployment

right click and publish

Deploying DB

PM> update-database -script -SourceMigration:SeedUsers

target mig to last. you got sql query of your db now

Build Configurations

  1. click solution configurations > configurationManager create a new config
  2. right click to web.config and add config transform
  3. now configure new config
  4. when publishing you could use these configuration to use on the published project note: configs overrides web.config for different scenarios with xdt:... you could preview by right clicking config and selecting preview transform

Application Settings

in Web.config <appSettings key="value"></appSettings> or externally create another config file <appSettings configSource="AppSettings.config"></appSettings> use in code like: ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Key"] note: appsettings always returns strings. you need to convert it for your needs manually

Custom Error Pages

Exception errors

in Web.config add to <system.web>

  <customErrors mode="On"></customErrors>

On: enable everywhere Remote: disable on localhost

Customize in Views>Shared Error.cshtml

Not Found Error (404)

in Web.config add to <system.web> > <customErrors>

  <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="On">
      <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/404.html"/>
    </customErrors>
      <!--.....-->
</system.web>
IIS Errors

n Web.config add to <system.webServer>

    <httpErrors errorMode="Custom">
      <remove statusCode="404"/>
      <error statusCode="404" path="404.html" responseMode="File"/>
    </httpErrors>

Custom: enable everywhere DetailedLocalOnly: disable on localhost

Elmah

Nuget> Elmah

exception logger. access by /elmah.axd

  • by default it saves logs to memory but with a small configuration we could have these exceptions on all kind of databases

  • for accessing remotely add this to elmah

          <authorization>
            <allow roles="admin,user2,user3,..." />
            <deny users="*" />  
          </authorization>
