Hey, guys, all right?

I am developing my first application in web api asp.net. And I’m having trouble displaying the content on a view.

Controller:

public class ListaPresenteController : ApiController
    {
        public IHttpActionResult Get()
        {
            var produto = new Produtos();
            return Ok(produto.Listar());
        }
    }

With this code it is working, but I could only display the list of products on home, I’m having trouble setting up the view of products, and I want to display the list of products for example in the url: www.meupai.com/produtos.

    I believe that the idea of Web API is not well understood. Web API does not assume that the generated result will be a View, necessarily. The result is usually a JSON, interpreted by the calling page, which may or may not display a View for this.

  • Um, it may be @Ciganomorrisonmendez but here comes my question, how could I create a view, where its url is www.meuapi.com/products and I can display and manipulate (for example on a grid) the JSON’s decoration?

  • You can implement a static HTML and call the Web API methods using JSON, which is what the Web API tutorials suggest: http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/getting-started-with-aspnet-web-api/tutorial-your-first-web-api

If your return has to be a view, I recommend using a controller, as in the example below. webApi works as a WS, hence its return and a json or xml.

public class ListaPresenteController : Controller
{

}

  • In this case instead of using Apicontroller I use a controller?

  • I believe I’m lost between the mvc controller and the webapi controller. And I intend to use a view to manipulate, display the json data returned from the webapi.

    You can directly return the json data in your action, which will pass the data to the view or in your view call an action that receives the json data.

  • Sorry, I could not understand right, how to return the data direct in my action?

  • It would be like this: public Ilist<Products> Getproducts() { var product = new Products(); Return (product.List(); } So it would return straight to your view.

  • Thanks @Thiago.adriano26 Today I will work on this project later, then we will see the result and put here. Thanks and much for the help :)
