Are there any ASP.NET MVC Core AJAX tutorials

Question

Can anyone point out good tutorials on ASP.NET MVC Core using AJAX ? I did not find any online connection to MVC Core.

Answer 1

After searching around the world, I see that there are still not many ASP.NET MVC Core AJAX tutorials. But I found one that should be very useful.

Here is a good tutorial on creating the server side of an ASP.NET Core MVC application. You would create the client side just as you would for an application without ASP.NET. (JQuery ajax, Angular request, etc.) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/first-web-api

Answer 2

Here is a really good YouTube tutorial on AJAX formats , and you can download the project from this GitHub Ajax form Link to the project. It contains a script for use in AJAX form.

Answer 3

Apparently, not all tutorials explicitly cover AJAX and ASP.NET MVC Core, however there are a few stack overflow questions that provide good examples of using AJAX in the client to update user interface elements from the server

Alternative view alternative for ajax update

MVC6 EF7 Viewcomponent ajax update problems

Both of these questions relate to the new ViewComponent in MVC Core, but you can equally apply this logic to update partial views or other page elements.

In a related note, note the difference between Async and AJAX in MVC6. I expected Async client elements to work in AJAX style, but they do not. This question gives a good explanation of why this is:

ViewComponents in ASP.NET MVC 6 are not async

In general, the usual AJAX workflow is still applied in the same way as in MVC5, so the examples for MVC5 will also be useful, but the links above deal with some specific MVC6 materials.
