How to navigate in ServiceStatck Razor pages + ServiceStack api? - razor

Question

In my webapp
webApp
\Views
\Views\School
\Views\School\School.cshtml
\Views\School\Schools.cshtml
In Request and Response classes:
[Route("/v1/school", Verbs = "POST")]
[DefaultView("School")]
public class SchoolAddRequest : School, IReturn<SchoolResponse>
{
}
public class SchoolResponse
{
public School School { get; set; }
public SchoolResponse()
{
ResponseStatus = new ResponseStatus();
Schools = new List<School>();
}
public List<School> Schools { get; set; }
public ResponseStatus ResponseStatus { get; set; }
}
In SchoolService.cs:
[DefaultView("School")]
public class SchoolService: Service
{
public SchoolResponse Post(SchoolAddRequest request)
{
var sch = new School {Id = "10"};
return new SchoolResponse {School = sch, ResponseStatus = new ResponseStatus()};
}
}
In school.cshtml:
#inherits ViewPage<Test.Core.Services.SchoolResponse>
#{
Layout = "_Layout";
}
<form action="/v1/School" method="POST">
#Html.Label("Name: ") #Html.TextBox("Name")
#Html.Label("Address: ") #Html.TextBox("Address")
<button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>
#if (#Model.School != null)
{
#Html.Label("ID: ") #Model.School.Id
}
On the browser:
This is suppose to work but it is not, i get a blank page
http://test/school/
This works:
http://test/views/school/
On hitting the 'save' btn the required response is returned but the url on the browser is :
http://test/v1/School
I was expecting it to be:
http://test/School
How can i get the url to work right.? Shouldn't it be
http://test/School on request and response.

Answer 1

http://test/school/ is not returning anything because you don't have a request DTO and a corresponding 'Get' service implemented for the route.
What you need is a request DTO:
[Route("/school", Verbs = "GET")]
public class GetSchool : IReturn<SchoolResponse>
{
}
and the service...
public SchoolResponse Get(GetSchool request)
{
var sch = new School {Id = "10"};
return new SchoolResponse {School = sch, ResponseStatus = new ResponseStatus()};
}
When you hit 'Save', a 'POST' request will be made to the server through the route 'v1/school' because the form tag you specified has:
<form action="/v1/School" method="POST">
Hope this helps.
