Part-9 | Blazor WebAssembly | .Net7 API | MudBlazor | CRUD - Implement Pagination

The main objective of the article is:

Implements Pagination.

Implement Pagination In API Project:

Let's change our HTTP GET Endpoint where we have to fetch the total number of records in the API response.

Let's create a new API response like 'SuperHeroesContainerDto'.

API_Project/Dtos/SuperHeroesContainerDto.cs:

namespace Dot7.Api.Dtos
{
    public class SuperHeroesContainerDto
    {
        public int TotalCount { get; set; }
        public List<SuperHeroesDto> SuperHeroes { get; set; }
    }

    public class SuperHeroesDto
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string? Name { get; set; }
        public string? Franchise { get; set; }
        public string? Gender { get; set; }
        public string? ImageURL { get; set; }
    }
}

Here we have properties like 'TotalCount' and a collection of 'SuperHeroesDto'.

Install the Automapper NuGet package.

Now create an auto mapper profiler class like 'AppMapperProfile.cs' in the 'Common' folder(new folder).

API_Project/Common/AppMapperProfile.cs:

using AutoMapper;
using Dot7.Api.Data.Entities;
using Dot7.Api.Dtos;

namespace Dot7.Api.Common
{
    public class AppMapperProfile: Profile
    {
        public AppMapperProfile()
        {
            CreateMap<SuperHeroes, SuperHeroesDto>();
        }
    }
}

Created mapper configuration between 'SuperHeroes' & 'SuperHeroesDto'.

API_Project/Program.cs:

builder.Services.AddAutoMapper(typeof(Program));

Let's update the return type of 'GetSuperHeroesAsync' method definition in 'ISuperHeroesService'.

API_Project/Services/ISuperHeroesService.cs:

Task<SuperHeroesContainerDto> GetSuperHeroesAsync(SuperHeroFiltersDto filters);

Let's update the logic in the 'GetSuperHeroesAsync' method.

API_Project/Services/SuperHeroesService.cs:

public async Task<SuperHeroesContainerDto> GetSuperHeroesAsync(SuperHeroFiltersDto filters)
{
	var superHereos = _myWorldDbContext.SuperHeroes.AsQueryable();

	if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(filters.Sort) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(filters.OrderBy))
	{
		if(filters.Sort.ToLower() == "id" && filters.OrderBy.ToLower() == "asc")
		{
			superHereos = superHereos.OrderBy(_ => _.Id);
		}
		else if (filters.Sort.ToLower() == "id" && filters.OrderBy.ToLower() == "desc")
		{
			superHereos = superHereos.OrderByDescending(_ => _.Id);
		}
		else if (filters.Sort.ToLower() == "franchise" && filters.OrderBy.ToLower() == "asc")
		{
			superHereos = superHereos.OrderBy(_ => _.Franchise);
		}
		else if (filters.Sort.ToLower() == "franchise" && filters.OrderBy.ToLower() == "desc")
		{
			superHereos = superHereos.OrderByDescending(_ => _.Franchise);
		}
	}

	if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(filters.Search))
	{
		superHereos = superHereos.Where(_ => _.Franchise.ToLower() == filters.Search.ToLower());
	}

	int totalCount = await superHereos.CountAsync();

	int skip = ((filters.PageNumber - 1) * filters.PageSize);
	int take = filters.PageSize;

	superHereos = superHereos.Skip(skip).Take(take);
	var dbSuperHeroes = await superHereos.ToListAsync();
	var resultSuperHereos = _mapper.Map<List<SuperHeroesDto>>(dbSuperHeroes);

	return new SuperHeroesContainerDto { TotalCount = totalCount, SuperHeroes = resultSuperHereos };
}

(Line: 30) Fetch the total number of records from the database.
(Line: 32-35) Here 'Skip' means the total number of records that needs to be skipped. Here 'take' means total records to fetch
(Lines: 36&37) Here mapping the 'SuperHeroes' to 'SuperHeroesDto'.

Implement Pagination In Blazor WebAssembly Application:

Let's implement the MudBlazor pagination in 'AllSuperHeroes.razor'.

BlazorWasm_Project/Pages/SuperHeroes/AllSuperHeroes.razor:(HTML Part)

<div class="d-flex ma-2">
	<MudGrid>
		<MudItem md="4">
			<MudSelect Margin="Margin.Dense" Class="mt-2" T="string" Label="Sorting" Variant="Variant.Text" ValueChanged="DoSorting">
				<MudSelectItem Value="@("id-by-desc")">ID BY Desc</MudSelectItem>
				<MudSelectItem Value="@("id-by-asc")">ID By Asc</MudSelectItem>
				<MudSelectItem Value="@("franchise-by-desc")">Franchise BY Desc</MudSelectItem>
				<MudSelectItem Value="@("franchise-by-asc")">Franchise By Asc</MudSelectItem>
			</MudSelect>
		</MudItem>
		<MudItem md="4">
			<MudTextField @bind-Value="SearchKey" Label="Search" Variant="Variant.Text" Adornment="Adornment.End" AdornmentIcon="@Icons.Material.Filled.Search" OnAdornmentClick="DoSearch" AdornmentColor="Color.Primary" />
		</MudItem>
		<MudItem md="4">
			<MudPagination Color="Color.Primary" Count="@GetTotalPages()" SelectedChanged="HandlePaging"  />
		</MudItem>
	</MudGrid>
</div>

(Line: 14-16) Configured the 'MudPagination' component. The 'Count' property is registered with 'GetTotalPages'. The 'Count' property is used to display the page numbers. The 'SelectedChanged' event raises on clicking page controls.

BlazorWasm_Project/Pages/SuperHeroes/AllSuperHeroes.razor:(c# Part)

@code {
    private List<SuperHeroesVM> allHeroes = new List<SuperHeroesVM>();
    private string SortingKey { get; set; }
    private string SearchKey{ get; set; }
    private int TotalCount{ get; set; }
    private int PageNumber { get; set; } 
    private int PageSize{ get; set; }

    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {
        PageNumber = 1;
        PageSize = 5;
        await GetAllSuperHeroesAsync();
    }

    private async Task GetAllSuperHeroesAsync()
    {
        var url = "/api/superheroes";

        var sortingParams = GetSoringValues();

        url = $"{url}?sort={sortingParams.Sort ?? string.Empty}&orderby={sortingParams.OrderBy ?? string.Empty}&search={SearchKey ?? string.Empty}&PageSize={PageSize}&PageNumber={PageNumber}";

        var result = await Http.GetFromJsonAsync<SuperHeroesContainerVM>(url);
        allHeroes = result.SuperHeroes;
        TotalCount = result.TotalCount;
    }

    private (string Sort, string OrderBy) GetSoringValues()
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(SortingKey))
        {
            if (SortingKey.ToLower() == "id-by-desc")
            {
                return ("id", "desc");
            }
            else if (SortingKey.ToLower() == "id-by-asc")
            {
                return ("id", "asc");
            }
            else if (SortingKey.ToLower() == "franchise-by-desc")
            {
                return ("franchise", "asc");
            }
            else if (SortingKey.ToLower() == "franchise-by-desc")
            {
                return ("franchise", "asc");
            }
        }
        return (string.Empty, string.Empty);
    }

    private async Task DoSorting(string sortKey)
    {
        PageNumber = 1;
        SortingKey = sortKey;
        await GetAllSuperHeroesAsync();
    }

    private async Task DoSearch()
    {
        PageNumber = 1;
        await GetAllSuperHeroesAsync();
    }

    protected int GetTotalPages()
    {
        var totalpages = ((double)TotalCount / (double)PageSize);
        return Convert.ToInt32(Math.Ceiling(totalpages));
    }


    private async Task DeleteSuperHeroesAsync(int id)
    {
        var parameters = new DialogParameters();
        parameters.Add("Id", id);
        var dialog = await _dialogService.ShowAsync<SuperHeroesDeletePopup>("Delete Confirmation", parameters, new DialogOptions { });

        var result = await dialog.Result;
        if (!result.Canceled)
        {
            allHeroes = allHeroes.Where(_ => _.Id != id).ToList();
            TotalCount = TotalCount - 1;
            StateHasChanged();
        }
    }

    private async Task HandlePaging(int page)
    {
        PageNumber = page;
        await GetAllSuperHeroesAsync();
    }
}

(Line: 5) The 'TotalCount' property to save the total number of records from the API.
(Line: 6) The 'PageNumber' property represents the current page.
(Line: 7) The 'PageSize' property represents number of items to display on the page
(Line: 55&62) Here we reset the 'PageNumber' to '1' while sorting and searching.
(Line: 66-70) The 'GetTotalPages' results a total number of page numbers to display
(Line: 88-90) The 'hadlePaging()' method gets invoked for every page control-click.

Angular 14 Reactive Forms Example

In this article, we will explore the Angular(14) reactive forms with an example. Reactive Forms: Angular reactive forms support model-driven techniques to handle the form's input values. The reactive forms state is immutable, any form filed change creates a new state for the form. Reactive forms are built around observable streams, where form inputs and values are provided as streams of input values, which can be accessed synchronously. Some key notations that involve in reactive forms are like: FormControl - each input element in the form is 'FormControl'. The 'FormControl' tracks the value and validation status of form fields. FormGroup - Track the value and validate the state of the group of 'FormControl'. FormBuilder - Angular service which can be used to create the 'FormGroup' or FormControl instance quickly. Form Array - That can hold infinite form control, this helps to create dynamic forms. Create An Angular(14) Application: Let'

.NET6 Web API CRUD Operation With Entity Framework Core

In this article, we are going to do a small demo on AspNetCore 6 Web API CRUD operations. What Is Web API: Web API is a framework for building HTTP services that can be accessed from any client like browser, mobile devices, desktop apps. In simple terminology API(Application Programming Interface) means an interface module that contains a programming function that can be requested via HTTP calls to save or fetch the data for their respective clients. Some of the key characteristics of API: Supports HTTP verbs like 'GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', etc. Supports default responses like 'XML' and 'JSON'. Also can define custom responses. Supports self-hosting or individual hosting, so that all different kinds of apps can consume it. Authentication and Authorization are easy to implement. The ideal platform to build REST full services. Create A .NET6 Web API Application: Let's create a .Net6 Web API sample application to accomplish our

.NET 7 Web API CRUD Using Entity Framework Core

In this article, we are going to implement a sample .NET 7 Web API CRUD using the Entity Framework Core. Web API: Web API is a framework for building HTTP services that can be accessed from any client like browser, mobile devices, and desktop apps. In simple terminology API(Application Programming Interface) means an interface module that contains programming functions that can be requested via HTTP calls either to fetch or update data for their respective clients. Some of the Key Characteristics of API: Supports HTTP verbs like 'GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', etc. Supports default responses like 'XML' and 'JSON'. Also can define custom responses. Supports self-hosting or individual hosting, so that all different kinds of apps can consume it. Authentication and Authorization are easy to implement.

Part-1 Angular JWT Authentication Using HTTP Only Cookie[Angular V13]

In this article, we are going to implement a sample angular application authentication using HTTP only cookie that contains a JWT token. HTTP Only JWT Cookie: In a SPA(Single Page Application) Authentication JWT token either can be stored in browser 'LocalStorage' or in 'Cookie'. Storing JWT token inside of the cookie then the cookie should be HTTP Only. The HTTP-Only cookie nature is that it will be only accessible by the server application. Client apps like javascript-based apps can't access the HTTP-Only cookie. So if we use authentication with HTTP only JWT cookie then we no need to implement custom logic like adding authorization header or storing token data, etc at our client application. Because once the user authenticated cookie will be automatically sent to the server by the browser on every API call. Authentication API: To implement JWT cookie authentication we need to set up an API. For that, I had created a mock authentication API(Using the NestJS Se

Unit Testing Asp.NetCore Web API Using xUnit[.NET6]

In this article, we are going to write test cases to an Asp.NetCore Web API(.NET6) application using the xUnit. xUnit For .NET: The xUnit for .Net is a free, open-source, community-focused unit testing tool for .NET applications. By default .Net also provides a xUnit project template to implement test cases. Unit test cases build upon the 'AAA' formula that means 'Arrange', 'Act' and 'Assert' Arrange - Declaring variables, objects, instantiating mocks, etc. Act - Calling or invoking the method that needs to be tested. Assert - The assert ensures that code behaves as expected means yielding expected output. Create An API And Unit Test Projects: Let's create a .Net6 Web API and xUnit sample applications to accomplish our demo. We can use either Visual Studio 2022 or Visual Studio Code(using .NET CLI commands) to create any.Net6 application. For this demo, I'm using the 'Visual Studio Code'(using the .NET CLI command) editor. Create a fo

Angular 14 State Management CRUD Example With NgRx(14)

In this article, we are going to implement the Angular(14) state management CRUD example with NgRx(14) NgRx Store For State Management: In an angular application to share consistent data between multiple components, we use NgRx state management. Using NgRx state helps to avoid unwanted API calls, easy to maintain consistent data, etc. The main building blocks for the NgRx store are: Actions - NgRx actions represents event to trigger the reducers to save the data into the stores. Reducer - Reducer's pure function, which is used to create a new state on data change. Store - The store is the model or entity that holds the data. Selector - Selector to fetch the slices of data from the store to angular components. Effects - Effects deals with external network calls like API. The effect gets executed based the action performed Ngrx State Management flow: The angular component needs data for binding. So angular component calls an action that is responsible for invoking the API call. Aft

ReactJS(v18) JWT Authentication Using HTTP Only Cookie

In this article, we will implement the ReactJS application authentication using the HTTP-only cookie. HTTP Only Cookie: In a SPA(Single Page Application) Authentication JWT token either can be stored in browser 'LocalStorage' or in 'Cookie'. Storing the JWT token inside of the cookie then the cookie should be HTTP Only. The HTTP-ONly cookie nature is that it will be only accessible by the server application. Client apps like javascript-based apps can't access the HTTP-Only cookie. So if we use the authentication with HTTP-only JWT cookie then we no need to implement the custom logic like adding authorization header or storing token data, etc at our client application. Because once the user authenticated cookie will be automatically sent to the server by the browser on every API call. Authentication API: To authenticate our client application with JWT HTTP-only cookie, I developed a NetJS(which is a node) Mock API. Check the GitHub link and read the document on G

Angular 14 Crud Example

In this article, we will implement CRUD operation in the Angular 14 application. Angular: Angular is a framework that can be used to build a single-page application. Angular applications are built with components that make our code simple and clean. Angular components compose of 3 files like TypeScript File(*.ts), Html File(*.html), CSS File(*.cs) Components typescript file and HTML file support 2-way binding which means data flow is bi-directional Component typescript file listens for all HTML events from the HTML file. Create Angular(14) Application: Let's create an Angular(14) application to begin our sample. Make sure to install the Angular CLI tool into our local machine because it provides easy CLI commands to play with the angular application. Command To Install Angular CLI npm install -g @angular/cli Run the below command to create the angular application. Command To Create Angular Application ng new name_of_your_app Note: While creating the app, you will see a noti

A Small Guide On NestJS Queues

NestJS Application Queues helps to deal with application scaling and performance challenges. When To Use Queues?: API request that mostly involves in time taking operations like CPU bound operation, doing them synchronously which will result in thread blocking. So to avoid these issues, it is an appropriate way to make the CPU-bound operation separate background job. In nestjs one of the best solutions for these kinds of tasks is to implement the Queues. For queueing mechanism in the nestjs application most recommended library is '@nestjs/bull'(Bull is nodejs queue library). The 'Bull' depends on Redis cache for data storage like a job. So in this queueing technique, we will create services like 'Producer' and 'Consumer'. The 'Producer' is used to push our jobs into the Redis stores. The consumer will read those jobs(eg: CPU Bound Operations) and process them. So by using this queues technique user requests processed very fastly because actually

Usage Of CancellationToken In Asp.Net Core Applications

When To Use CancellationToken?: In a web application request abortion or orphan, requests are quite common. On users disconnected by network interruption or navigating between multiple pages before proper response or closing of the browser, tabs make the request aborted or orphan. An orphan request can't deliver a response to the client, but it will execute all steps(like database calls, HTTP calls, etc) at the server. Complete execution of an orphan request at the server might not be a problem generally if at all requests need to work on time taking a job at the server in those cases might be nice to terminate the execution immediately. So CancellationToken can be used to terminate a request execution at the server immediately once the request is aborted or orphan. Here we are going to see some sample code snippets about implementing a CancellationToken for Entity FrameworkCore, Dapper ORM, and HttpClient calls in Asp.NetCore MVC application. Note: The sample codes I will show in
