Kendo UI Grid with form in popup - kendo-ui

Question

I want to implement individual form for ajax call. I want to have a command, which opens new popup window with one field, user fills this field and then clicks "Send" and then I do an ajax call to controller. My code:
$(document).ready(function () {
var grid = $("#memberList-grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
type: "json",
transport: {
read: {
url: "#Html.Raw(Url.Action("MemberSearchList", "RandomPoolSelection"))",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: function () {
var data = {
SearchMember: $('##Html.IdFor(model => model.SearchMember)').val(),
SelectionId: $('#SelectionId').val()
};
addAntiForgeryToken(data);
return data;
}
}
},
schema: {
data: "Data",
total: "Total",
errors: "Errors"
},
error: function (e) {
display_kendoui_grid_error(e);
// Cancel the changes
this.cancelChanges();
},
pageSize: #(Model.PageSize),
serverPaging: true,
serverFiltering: true,
serverSorting: true
},
pageable: {
refresh: true,
pageSizes: [#(Model.AvailablePageSizes)],
#await Html.PartialAsync("_GridPagerMessages")
},
scrollable: false,
columns: [
{
field: "PrimaryID",
title: "#T("PoolMemberList.Fields.PrimaryID")",
width: 150
},
{
field: "FirstName",
title: "#T("PoolMemberList.Fields.FirstName")",
width: 150
},
{
command:
{
text: "Exclude",
click: showExclude
},
title: " ",
width: 100
}
]
});
wndExclude = $("#exclude")
.kendoWindow({
title: "Excuse Reason",
modal: true,
visible: false,
resizable: false,
width: 300
}).data("kendoWindow");
excludeTemplate = kendo.template($("#excludeTemplate").html());
});
function showExclude(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
wndExclude.content(excludeTemplate(dataItem));
wndExclude.center().open();
}
and template :
<script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="excludeTemplate">
<div id="exclude-container">
<input type="text" class="k-input k-textbox" id="note">
<br />
</div>
</script>
how to implement sending this data (with ID) to controller?

Answer 1

A simple way to do what you want is using a partial view.
this is your command grid
{
command:
{
text: "Exclude",
click: showExclude
},
title: " ",
width: 100
}
and here your function :
function showExclude(e) {
$(document.body).append('<div id="excludeWindow" class="k-rtl"></div>');
var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
$('#excludeWindow').kendoWindow({
width: "80%",
title: 'excludeForm',
modal: true,
resizable: false,
content: "/YourController/GetPartial?id=" + dataItem.Id,
actions: [
"Close"
],
refresh: function () {
$("#excludeWindow").data('kendoWindow').center();
},
close: function() {
setTimeout(function () {
$('#excludeWindow').kendoWindow('destroy');
}, 200);
}
}).data('kendoWindow');
}
After clicking on the button, you load your window(popup) and call an action that loads a partial view to fill the content of the window.
You can pass whatever you want to your partial view (for example, here I just send Id)
public ActionResult GetPartial(Guid id)
{
var viewModel= new ViewModelExclude
{
Id = id,
};
return PartialView("_exclude", viewModel);
}
and the partial view is something like this:
#model ViewModelExclude
#using (Html.BeginForm("", "Your action", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "SendForm"}))
{
<input class="k-rtl" name="#nameof(Model.Id)" value="#Model.Id">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send</button>
}
and then call Your ajax after clicking on send button:
$("#SendForm").submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var form = $(this);
var formData = new FormData(this);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '#Url.Action("send", "yourController"),
data: formData,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success: function (data) {
},
error: function (data) {
}
});
});
Your send action something like this:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Send(ViewModelExclude view)
{
....
return Json();
}
