I need to know the url of the current page in order to check if I have to apply certain style to a element. The code below is an example.
@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.Services
@inject IUriHelper UriHelper
@implements IDisposable
<h1>@url</h1>
<nav>
<div class="nav-wrapper">
<a href="#" class="brand-logo">Blazor</a>
<ul id="nav-mobile" class="right hide-on-med-and-down">
<li>
<NavLink href="/" Match=NavLinkMatch.All>
Home
</NavLink>
</li>
<li>
<NavLink href="/counter">
Counter
</NavLink>
</li>
<li>
<NavLink href="/fetchdata">
Fetch data
</NavLink>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
@functions {
private string url = string.Empty;
protected override void OnInit()
{
url = UriHelper.GetAbsoluteUri();
UriHelper.OnLocationChanged += OnLocationChanged;
}
private void OnLocationChanged(object sender, LocationChangedEventArgs e)
{
url = newUriAbsolute;
}
public void Dispose()
{
UriHelper.OnLocationChanged -= OnLocationChanged;
}
}
I used the same approach used in the NavLink component in the Blazor repository, but it did not work. Any ideas?.
Use Uri
property from NavigationManager
class.
How it works
Get it from injection before to use it on .razor
pages:
@inject NavigationManager MyNavigationManager
Or like this on .cs
if you prefer "code-behind" experience:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
...
[Inject]
public NavigationManager MyNavigationManager {get; set;}
Sample
@page "/navigate"
@inject NavigationManager MyNavigationManager
<h1>Current url</h1>
<p>@(MyNavigationManager.Uri)</p>
More about navigation (NavigateTo, BaseUri, ToAbsoluteUri, ToBaseRelativePath, ... ) at: URI and navigation state helpers
NavigationManager cheatsheet
MyNavigationManager.Uri
#> https://localhost:5001/counter/3?q=hi
MyNavigationManager.BaseUri`
#> https://localhost:5001/
MyNavigationManager.NavigateTo("http://new location")
#> Navigates to new location
MyNavigationManager.LocationChanged
#> An event that fires when the navigation location has changed.
MyNavigationManager.ToAbsoluteUri("pepe")
#> https://localhost:5001/pepe
MyNavigationManager.ToBaseRelativePath( MyNavigationManager.BaseUri)
#> counter/3?q=hi
Helper: AddQueryParm( "q2", "bye" )
#> https://localhost:5001/counter/3?q=hi&q2=bye
Helper: GetQueryParm( "q" )
#> hi
Helpers code:
@code {
[Parameter]
public string Id { get; set; }
// blazor: add parm to url
string AddQueryParm(string parmName, string parmValue)
{
var uriBuilder = new UriBuilder(MyNavigationManager.Uri);
var q = System.Web.HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(uriBuilder.Query);
q[parmName] = parmValue;
uriBuilder.Query = q.ToString();
var newUrl = uriBuilder.ToString();
return newUrl;
}
// blazor: get query parm from url
string GetQueryParm(string parmName)
{
var uriBuilder = new UriBuilder(MyNavigationManager.Uri);
var q = System.Web.HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(uriBuilder.Query);
return q[parmName] ?? "";
}
}
There is no use in connecting to the OnLocationChanged
event in a page or component, as they get loaded and disposed on demannd.
You should register to this event in app.cshtml as that won't be disposed.
You should listen to a LocationChange of the IUriHelper, which triggers the function to do what you want for example:
@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.Components
@using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
@inject Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.Services.IUriHelper UriHelper
@inject ILogger<NavItem> logger
<li class="m-menu__item @(Active ? "m-menu__item--active" : "")">
<a href=@Url class="m-menu__link ">
<span class="m-menu__item-here"></span>
<i class="m-menu__link-icon @Icon"></i>
<span class="m-menu__link-text">@Text</span>
</a>
</li>
@functions {
protected override void OnInit()
{
UriHelper.OnLocationChanged += OnLocationChanges;
}
[Parameter]
private string Url { get; set; }
[Parameter]
private string Icon { get; set; }
[Parameter]
private string Text { get; set; }
private bool Active = false;
private void OnLocationChanges(object sender, string newLocation)
{
bool active = newLocation.Contains(Url);
if(active != Active) //Only re-render the components that need it
{
Active = active;
StateHasChanged();
logger.LogInformation("Location Change To:" + newLocation);
}
}
}
