Add Asynchronous Calls to Action Methods With ToDataSourceResultAsync
Environment
| Product Version | 2020.1.114 |
| Product | Progress® Kendo UI® Grid for ASP.NET MVC |
Description
What is the best approach to using Async/Await in the Kendo UI Grid's action methods?
Solution
Kendo.Mvc.Extensions contains QueryableExtensions which include the ToDatasourceResultAsync method for asynchronous programming. The following contains the action methods from the Kendo UI Grid's Editing Inline Live Demo using ToDataSourceResultAsync:
public async Task<ActionResult> EditingInline_Read([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
{
var products = await productService.Read().ToDataSourceResultAsync(request);
return Json(products);
}
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public async Task<ActionResult> EditingInline_Create([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, ProductViewModel product)
{
if (product != null && ModelState.IsValid)
{
productService.Create(product);
}
var result = await new[] { product }.ToDataSourceResultAsync(request, ModelState);
return Json(result);
}
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public async Task<ActionResult> EditingInline_Update([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, ProductViewModel product)
{
if (product != null && ModelState.IsValid)
{
productService.Update(product);
}
var result = await new[] { product }.ToDataSourceResultAsync(request, ModelState);
return Json(result);
}
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public async Task<ActionResult> EditingInline_Destroy([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, ProductViewModel product)
{
if (product != null)
{
productService.Destroy(product);
}
var result = await new[] { product }.ToDataSourceResultAsync(request, ModelState);
return Json(result);
}
