AjaxRadioList, Cascading RadioButtonList - ASP.net MVC Awesome Demo

AjaxRadioList

AjaxRadioList needs an url, js func or controller to get data from, it will render a list of radiobuttons

Cascading Radio button list using binding to Parent

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioListFor(o => o.ParentCategory)
             .Url(Url.Action("GetCategories", "Data")))

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioListFor(o => o.ChildMeal)
                .Url(Url.Action("GetMeals", "Data"))
                .Parent(o => o.ParentCategory, "categories"))

Awesome/DataController.cs

public ActionResult GetCategories()
{
    return Json(Db.Categories.Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name)));
}

public ActionResult GetMeals(int[] categories)
{
    categories = categories ?? new int[] { };
    var items = Db.Meals.Where(o => categories.Contains(o.Category.Id))
        .Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name));
    
    return Json(items);
}

Bound to many parents

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@Html.Awe().AjaxCheckboxListFor(o => o.Categories).Url(Url.Action("GetCategories", "Data"))
@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioListFor(o => o.Category2)
             .Url(Url.Action("GetCategories", "Data")))

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioListFor(o => o.ChildOfManyMeal)
             .Url(Url.Action("GetMeals", "Data"))
             .Parent(o => o.Categories, "categories")
             .Parent(o => o.Category2, "categories"))

Client data

Besides remote data using .Url(str), it can also get data from the client using .DataFunc(jsFunc), the jsFunc can return the items or a Promise

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

<script>
    var meals = @Html.Raw(DemoUtils.Encode(Db.Meals.Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name))));
    var categories = @Html.Raw(DemoUtils.Encode(Db.Categories.Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name))));
    function setCategs() {
        return categories;
    }
</script>
@Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("CatClient1").DataFunc("setCategs")
@*instead of setCategs we can also use utils.getItems(categories)*@

Mods

Extending the behaviour of the AjaxRadioList using mods. The new components have the same features as the AjaxRadioList but render (look) differently and have additional properties which can be specified inside the Extension Method (e.g. .Odropdown(o => o.Caption("please select")) )

Ochk

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("CategoryOchk")
      .Value(Db.Categories[0].Id)
      .Ochk()
      .DataFunc("utils.getItems(categories)")) @*can also use .Url(url)*@

ButtonGroup

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("CategoriesButtonGroup")
  .ButtonGroup()
  .DataFunc("utils.getItems(categories)"))

Odropdown

automatically gets search when there are more than 10 items (configurable e.g. .Odropdown(o => o.AutoSearch(5)))

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("AllMealsOdropdown")
.Odropdown()
.DataFunc("utils.getItems(meals)"))

Cascading Odropdowns

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("CatOdropdown")
  .Odropdown()
  .Url(Url.Action("GetCategories", "Data")))

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("MealsOdropdown")
  .Odropdown(o => o.AutoSelectFirst())
  .Url(Url.Action("GetMeals", "Data"))
  .Parent("CatOdropdown", "categories"))

Combobox

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("AllMealsCombo")
  .Value("hi there")
  .Combobox()
  .DataFunc("utils.getItems(meals)"))

Color dropdown

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("ColorPicker1")
  .ColorDropdown(o => o.AutoSelectFirst()))

Odropdown with custom item and caption

Custom js functions are defined for rendering the items and caption of the odropdown.

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("CustomItemOdd")
    .Value(Db.Meals[1].Id)
    .Odropdown(o => o.ItemFunc("imgItem").CaptionFunc("imgCaption"))
    .Url(Url.Action("GetMealsImg", "Data")))
<script>
    function imgItem(o) {
        return '<div class="o-igit"><img src="' + o.url + '" />' + o.c + '</div>';
    }

    function imgCaption(o) {
        return '<img class="cthumb" src="' + o.url + '" />' + o.c;
    }
</script>

Awesome/DataController.cs

public ActionResult GetMealsImg()
{
    var url = Url.Content(DemoUtils.MealsUrl);
    var items = Db.Meals
        .Select(o => new MealDisplay(o.Id, o.Name, url + o.Name + ".jpg"));
    return Json(items);
}

Image dropdown

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("ImgDropdown")
  .Url(Url.Action("GetMealsImg", "Data"))
  .ImgDropdown(o => o.AutoSelectFirst()))

Awesome/DataController.cs

public ActionResult GetMealsImg()
{
    var url = Url.Content(DemoUtils.MealsUrl);
    var items = Db.Meals
        .Select(o => new MealDisplay(o.Id, o.Name, url + o.Name + ".jpg"));
    return Json(items);
}

TimePicker

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("TimePicker1")
  .TimePicker(o => o.Caption("time please").Step(15)))

Odropdown with remote search

try 'o'

Only a few items + the selected one are loaded initially using the url specified in .Url, but when the user types something in the searchbox more items are loaded by executing the specified .SearchFunc; the new loaded items will be stored/cached until a load will occur, e.g. when a parent changes it's value the component will load.
Components with the same cache key ("m1", "g") have a shared cache.

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("RemoteSearchOdropdown")
  .Odropdown(o => o.SearchFunc("utils.osearch", Url.Action("SearchMeals", "Data"), "m1"))
  .Value(197)
  .Url(Url.Action("GetMealsInit", "Data")))

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("RemoteSearchCombobox")
  .Combobox(o => o.SearchFunc("utils.osearch", Url.Action("SearchMeals", "Data"), "m1"))
  .Value(197)
  .Url(Url.Action("GetMealsInit", "Data"))) <span class="hint">try 'o'</span>

Awesome/DataController.cs

public ActionResult GetMealsInit(int? v)
{
    var items = Db.Meals.Take(3).ToList();
    var selected = Db.Meals.SingleOrDefault(o => o.Id == v);

    if (selected != null && !items.Contains(selected))
    {
        items.Add(selected);
    }

    return Json(items.Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name)));
}

public ActionResult SearchMeals(string term = "")
{
    var items = Db.Meals
        .Where(o => o.Name.IndexOf(term, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0)
        .Take(10)
        .Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name));

    return Json(items);
}

Remote search, external api

try 'valueinjecter'

Getting data from the git api on search using the SearchFunc. ItemFunc and CaptionFunc are used to specify custom rendering functions for the items and the caption.
Using the same cache key "g1", so searching in one control will fill the other as well.

Shared/Demos/RmtSrcGit.cshtml

@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("GitRepoOdropdown")
          .Load(false)
          .Odropdown(o =>
            o.SearchFunc("gitRepoSearch", key: "g1")
             .ItemFunc("gitItem")
             .CaptionFunc("gitCaption")
             .Caption("select a git repo")))
<span class="hint">try 'valueinjecter'</span>
<br/>
<br/>
@(Html.Awe().AjaxCheckboxList("GitRepoMultiselect")
          .Load(false)
          .Multiselect(o =>
            o.SearchFunc("gitRepoSearch", key: "g1")
            .ItemFunc("gitItem")
            .CaptionFunc("gitCaption")
            .Caption("select a git repo")))

@*gitRepoSearch, gitItem, gitCaption functions located in site.js*@

Set value from get items call

AjaxRadioListDemo/Index.cshtml

<h3>Set value from get items call</h3>
@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("CategorySv")
  .Odropdown(o => o.AutoSelectFirst())
  .Url(Url.Action("GetCategories", "Data")))

<br />
<br />
@(Html.Awe().AjaxRadioList("OrgsSv")

    categories = categories ?? new int[] { };

    var items = Db.Meals.Where(o => categories.Contains(o.Category.Id)).ToList();

    object value = null;
    if (items.Any())
    {
        value = items.Skip(1).First().Id;
    }

    return Json(new AweItems

        Items = items.Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name)),
        Value = value

        value = items.Skip(2).First().Id;

        Items = items.Select(o => new KeyContent(o.Id, o.Name)),
        Value = value
    });
