Deleting a Person

Let's add a delete button in people list as shown below:

We're starting from UI in this case.

View

We're changing index.cshtml view to add a button (related part is shown here):

<div id="AllPeopleList" class="list-group">
    @foreach (var person in Model.Items)
    {
        <a href="javascript:;" class="list-group-item" data-person-id="@person.Id">
            <h4 class="list-group-item-heading">
                @person.Name @person.Surname
        @if (IsGranted(AppPermissions.Pages_Tenant_PhoneBook_DeletePerson))
        {
            <button title="@L("Delete")" class="btn btn-circle btn-icon-only btn-danger delete-person" href="javascript:;">
                <i class="la la-trash"></i>
            </button>
        }
            </h4>
            <p class="list-group-item-text">
                @person.EmailAddress
            </p>
        </a>
    }
</div>

Surely, we defined 'delete person' permission as like before.

Style

We're using a LESS style here to take button right. Created a file named index.less and added following lines:

#AllPeopleList {
    .list-group-item-heading {
        button.delete-person {
            float: right;
        }
    }
}

And add the style to your Index.cshtml page (You can also add minified versions of styles for other environments like production and staging):

@section Styles
{
    <environment names="Development">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="~/view-resources/Areas/App/Views/PhoneBook/Index.css" asp-append-version="true" />
    </environment>
}

Javascript

Now, adding code to delete person (to Index.js):

var _personService = abp.services.app.person;

$('#AllPeopleList button.delete-person').click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    var $listItem = $(this).closest('.list-group-item');
    var personId = $listItem.attr('data-person-id');

    abp.message.confirm(
        app.localize('AreYouSureToDeleteThePerson'),
        function(isConfirmed) {
            if (isConfirmed) {
                _personService.deletePerson({
                    id: personId
                }).done(function () {
                    abp.notify.info(app.localize('SuccessfullyDeleted'));
                    $listItem.remove();
                });
            }
        }
    );
});

It first shows a confirmation message when we click the delete button:

If we click Yes, it simply calls deletePerson method of PersonAppService and shows a notification if operation succeed. Also, removes the person from the page using jQuery's remove function.

Application Service

First, adding a new method definition to IPersonAppService interface as always:

Task DeletePerson(EntityDto input);

EntityDto is a shortcut of ABP if we only get an id value. Implementation (in PersonAppService) is very simple:

[AbpAuthorize(AppPermissions.Pages_Tenant_PhoneBook_DeletePerson)]
public async Task DeletePerson(EntityDto input)
{
    await _personRepository.DeleteAsync(input.Id);
}

We also authorized deleting a person as did before for creating a person.

We also need to define Pages_Tenant_PhoneBook_DeletePerson constant in AppPermissions and define related permission in AppAuthorizationProvider.
