Views
In the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, the view handles the app's data presentation and user interaction. A view is an HTML template with embedded Razor markup. Razor markup is code that interacts with HTML markup to produce a webpage that's sent to the client.
Base View
Theme base view is Views/Layout/Master.cshtml, in this file we are connecting all global styles
and
scripts. Each layout template should be wrapped with this view.
Content will be rendered in the place of @RenderBody().
Specifying a Layout
Razor views have a Layout property. Individual views specify a layout by setting this property.
@{
Layout = "~/Views/Layout/Good/_Default.cshtml";
}
The layout specified can use a full path (for example,
~/Views/Layout/Good/DefaultDarkSidebar.cshtml) or a partial name (example:
_Layout). When a partial name is provided, the
Razor view engine searches for the layout file using its standard discovery process. The folder where the
handler method (or controller) exists is searched first. This discovery process is identical to the process
used to discover partial views.
RenderBody. Wherever the call
to RenderBody is placed, the contents of the view will be rendered. All available layout could
be found in folder Views/Layout.
Global Partials
Global partials are located inside the Views/Partials Folder. You can use partials in your page
views with a
partial tag and in the attribute name specify the partial path you want to use.
<partial name='~/Views/Partials/_Drawers.cshtml")' />Pages
New pages can be added inside a Controllers. For example DashboardsController.cs represents Dashboards folder
inside a Views, it has a function which returns View of Views/Dashboards/Index.cshtml.
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}You can add a new pages in the same way, add Controller and function inside it which names machs to your Razor view file name in Views/[Controller] folder.
Also you can specify razor view which will be returned by providing a path as a parameter for View function.
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View("Views/Auth/SignUp.cshtml");
}
