I am new to MVC. I have defined a button in one of my views (bootstrap):
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-lg">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star"></span> Star
</button>
Now, I want to execute some server side code when this button is clicked however I am not sure how to do it in an MVC project. Where should place the server side code and how should I call it ? I am using Razor.
your best bet is to look at jquery/ajax in the 1st instance as there are many. many examples on SO that allude to this pattern. Below is a quick sketch to get you going.
$(function() {
$('.btn-success').on('click', function() {
$.ajax({
url: "your url in ironpython",
data: {datavariable:somedatatosend},
context: document.body
}).done(function() {
// update any divs required here with the
// returned json result (or text)
$(this).addClass("done");
});
};
};
if your target url was mvc, then you'd replace the url parameter above with something like:
url: '@Url.Action("myAction","myController")'
MVC stands for model-view-controller. We use Controller Classes to handle incoming browser requests. Here you can call a method in your controller using java-script.
It is better if you can follow the MVCMovie tutorial to get a clear understanding.
Thanks!
