Index action name can be left out of the URL. You can customize this |
behavior if you'd like, but for now, we'll stick to the default conventions. |
Add a new action called Index to the TodoController , replacing the // |
Actions go here comment: |
public class TodoController : Controller |
{ |
public IActionResult Index() |
{ |
// Get to-do items from database |
// Put items into a model |
// Render view using the model |
} |
} |
Action methods can return views, JSON data, or HTTP status codes like |
200 OK and 404 Not Found . The IActionResult return type gives you |
the flexibility to return any of these from the action. |
It's a best practice to keep controllers as lightweight as possible. In this |
case, the controller will be responsible for getting the to-do items from |
the database, putting those items into a model the view can understand, |
and sending the view back to the user's browser. |
Before you can write the rest of the controller code, you need to create a |
model and a view. |

Create models |
There are two separate model classes that need to be created: a model |
that represents a to-do item stored in the database (sometimes called an |
entity), and the model that will be combined with a view (the MV in |
MVC) and sent back to the user's browser. Because both of them can be |
referred to as "models", I'll refer to the latter as a view model. |
First, create a class called TodoItem in the Models directory: |
Models/TodoItem.cs |
using System; |
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; |
namespace AspNetCoreTodo.Models |
{ |
public class TodoItem |
{ |
public Guid Id { get; set; } |
public bool IsDone { get; set; } |
[Required] |
public string Title { get; set; } |
public DateTimeOffset? DueAt { get; set; } |
} |
} |
This class defines what the database will need to store for each to-do |
item: an ID, a title or name, whether the item is complete, and what the |
due date is. Each line defines a property of the class: |
