part of MVC and covers many of the concepts you'd use in a larger |
application. |
In this book, you'll build a to-do app that lets the user add items to their |
to-do list and check them off once complete. More specifically, you'll be |
creating: |
A web application server (sometimes called the "backend") using |
ASP.NET Core, C#, and the MVC pattern |
A database to store the user's to-do items using the SQLite database |
engine and a system called Entity Framework Core |
Web pages and an interface that the user will interact with via their |
browser, using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (called the "frontend") |
A login form and security checks so each user's to-do list is kept |
private |
Sound good? Let's built it! If you haven't already created a new ASP.NET |
Core project using dotnet new mvc , follow the steps in the previous |
chapter. You should be able to build and run the project and see the |
default welcome screen. |

Create a controller |
Create a controller |
There are already a few controllers in the project's Controllers directory, |
including the HomeController that renders the default welcome screen |
you see when you visit http://localhost:5000 . You can ignore these |
controllers for now. |
Create a new controller for the to-do list functionality, called |
TodoController , and add the following code: |
Controllers/TodoController.cs |
using System; |
using System.Collections.Generic; |
using System.Linq; |
using System.Threading.Tasks; |
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc; |
namespace AspNetCoreTodo.Controllers |
{ |
public class TodoController : Controller |
{ |
// Actions go here |
} |
} |
Routes that are handled by controllers are called actions, and are |
represented by methods in the controller class. For example, the |
HomeController includes three action methods ( Index , About , and |
Contact ) which are mapped by ASP.NET Core to these route URLs: |
localhost:5000/Home -> Index() |
localhost:5000/Home/About -> About() |
localhost:5000/Home/Contact -> Contact() |

Create a controller |
There are a number of conventions (common patterns) used by ASP.NET |
Core, such as the pattern that FooController becomes /Foo , and the |
Subsets and Splits
