In Blazor I have an <a>
element that has both a href
and an onclick
method:
<a href="" onclick="@(() => ChangePage(_someObject))">Test</a>
onclick
calls this method:
private bool ChangePage(object objectToDisplay)
{
_currentObject = objectToDisplay;
StateHasChanged();
return false;
}
Normally in JavaScript returning false from the event method stops the subsequent navigation to the link in the href
but this doesn't seem to be working with my code above.
How can I stop Blazor changing the page to the root url after the link is clicked?
(The obvious answer here would be to remove the href
altogether, but I'm using the link in a bootstrap Pill and removing the href
stops the Pills working)
Other things I've tried that didn't work:
- Changing the
<a>
element to a span and setting thedata-target
attribute, but that stops the Pills rendering properly. - Adding
return
into theonclick
event (as per this answer):onclick="return @(() => ChangePage(_overviewModel))"
but that doesn't compile. - Adding
return
after theonclick
event:onclick="@(() => ChangePage(_overviewModel)); return false;"
but that doesn't compile either. - using a Blazor
NavLink
component<NavLink href="" onclick="@(() => ChangePage(_someObject))">NavLink</NavLink>
