Converting Create/Edit Modal to Page

In this document we will explain how to convert AspNet Zero's tenant create & edit modals to regular mvc pages.

Create Tenant

Create Action Result

Create action result named Create. Copy CreateModal partial view result into that and change necessary parts as seen below

[AbpMvcAuthorize(AppPermissions.Pages_Tenants_Create)]
public async Task<ActionResult> Create()
{
    var editionItems = await _editionAppService.GetEditionComboboxItems();
    var defaultEditionName = _commonLookupAppService.GetDefaultEditionName().Name;
    var defaultEditionItem = editionItems.FirstOrDefault(e => e.DisplayText == defaultEditionName);
    if (defaultEditionItem != null)
    {
        defaultEditionItem.IsSelected = true;
    }

    var viewModel = new CreateTenantViewModel(editionItems)
    {
        PasswordComplexitySetting = await _passwordComplexitySettingStore.GetSettingsAsync()
    };
    return View(viewModel);
}

Create View File

Then create view named Create in Areas/[AppAreaName]/Views/Tenants folder.

Copy _CreateModel.cshtml into your new Create.cshtml .

Remove modal header, footer partialviews and modal body tag. Add a portlet that surrounds the form tag.

The result will be like seen below:

@using Abp.Json
@using MyCompanyName.AbpZeroTemplate.MultiTenancy
@using MyCompanyName.AbpZeroTemplate.Web.Areas.AppAreaName.Models.Tenants
@model CreateTenantViewModel
@section Scripts
{
    <script src="~/view-resources/Areas/AppAreaName/Views/Tenants/Create.js"></script>
    <script>
        window.passwordComplexitySetting = @Html.Raw(Model.PasswordComplexitySetting.ToJsonString(indented: true));
    </script>
}

Create Javascript File

Create javascript file named Create.js.

Copy _CreateModal.js into Create.js.

Search modal.find and replace all with $ .

Remove modal function and take their content.

The result will be like seen below:

(function () {
    $(function () {
        //Custom validation type for tenancy name
        $.validator.addMethod("tenancyNameRegex", function (value, element, regexpr) {
            return regexpr.test(value);
        }, app.localize('TenantName_Regex_Description'));

        var _tenantService = abp.services.app.tenant;
        var _$tenantInformationForm = null;
        var _passwordComplexityHelper = new app.PasswordComplexityHelper();

        _$tenantInformationForm = $('form[name=TenantInformationsForm]');
        _$tenantInformationForm.validate({
            rules: {
                TenancyName: {
                    tenancyNameRegex: new RegExp(_$tenantInformationForm.find('input[name=TenancyName]').attr('regex'))
                }
            }
        });

        //Show/Hide password inputs when "random password" checkbox is changed.
        var passwordInputs = $('input[name=AdminPassword],input[name=AdminPasswordRepeat]');
        var passwordInputGroups = passwordInputs.closest('.form-group');

        _passwordComplexityHelper.setPasswordComplexityRules(passwordInputs, window.passwordComplexitySetting);

        $('#CreateTenant_SetRandomPassword').change(function () {
            if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
                passwordInputGroups.slideUp('fast');
                passwordInputs.removeAttr('required');
            } else {
                passwordInputGroups.slideDown('fast');
                passwordInputs.attr('required', 'required');
            }
        });

        //Show/Hide connection string input when "use host db" checkbox is changed.

        var connStringInput = $('input[name=ConnectionString]');
        var connStringInputGroup = connStringInput.closest('.form-group');

        $('#CreateTenant_UseHostDb').change(function () {
            if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
                connStringInputGroup.slideUp('fast');
                connStringInput.removeAttr('required');
            } else {
                connStringInputGroup.slideDown('fast');
                connStringInput.attr('required', 'required');
            }
        });

        $('.date-time-picker').datetimepicker({
            locale: abp.localization.currentLanguage.name,
            format: 'L'
        });

        var $subscriptionEndDateDiv = $('input[name=SubscriptionEndDateUtc]').parent('div');
        var $isUnlimitedInput = $('#CreateTenant_IsUnlimited');
        var subscriptionEndDateUtcInput = $('input[name=SubscriptionEndDateUtc]');
        function toggleSubscriptionEndDateDiv() {
            if ($isUnlimitedInput.is(':checked')) {
                $subscriptionEndDateDiv.slideUp('fast');
                subscriptionEndDateUtcInput.removeAttr('required');
            } else {
                $subscriptionEndDateDiv.slideDown('fast');
                subscriptionEndDateUtcInput.attr('required', 'required');
            }
        }

        $isUnlimitedInput.change(function () {
            toggleSubscriptionEndDateDiv();
        });

        var $editionCombobox = $('#EditionId');
        $editionCombobox.change(function () {
            var isFree = $('option:selected', this).attr('data-isfree') === "True";
            var selectedValue = $('option:selected', this).val();

            if (selectedValue === "" || isFree) {
                $('.subscription-component').slideUp('fast');
                if (isFree) {
                    $isUnlimitedInput.prop("checked", true);
                } else {
                    $isUnlimitedInput.prop("checked", false);
                }
            } else {
                $('.subscription-component').slideDown('fast');
            }
        });

        toggleSubscriptionEndDateDiv();
        $editionCombobox.trigger('change');

        function save() {
            if (!_$tenantInformationForm.valid()) {
                return;
            }

            var tenant = _$tenantInformationForm.serializeFormToObject();

            //take selected date as UTC
            if ($('#CreateTenant_IsUnlimited').is(':visible') && !$('#CreateTenant_IsUnlimited').is(':checked')) {
                tenant.SubscriptionEndDateUtc = $('.date-time-picker').data("DateTimePicker").date().format("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss") + 'Z';
            } else {
                tenant.SubscriptionEndDateUtc = null;
            }

            if (tenant.SetRandomPassword) {
                tenant.Password = null;
                tenant.AdminPassword = null;
            }

            if (tenant.UseHostDb) {
                tenant.ConnectionString = null;
            }

            abp.ui.setBusy();
            _tenantService.createTenant(
                tenant
            ).done(function () {
                abp.notify.info(app.localize('SavedSuccessfully'));
                window.location.href = "/AppAreaName/Tenants";
            }).always(function () {
                abp.ui.clearBusy();
            });
        };

        $("#btnCreateTenant").click(save);//Now there is no modal button. Thats why you need to call save function with another button
    });
})();

And finally go Index.cshtml and change Create new tenant button as seen below

<a href="/[AppAreaName]/Tenants/Create" class="btn btn-primary">
    <i class="fa fa-plus"></i> @L("CreateNewTenant")
</a>

Result

converting-modal-to-page-tenant-create

Edit Tenant

Converting edit modal to edit page has same step with converting create modal to create page. The results will be as seen below.

Create Action Result

TenantsController.cs

[AbpMvcAuthorize(AppPermissions.Pages_Tenants_Edit)]
public async Task<ActionResult> Edit(int id)
{
    var tenantEditDto = await _tenantAppService.GetTenantForEdit(new EntityDto(id));
    var editionItems = await _editionAppService.GetEditionComboboxItems(tenantEditDto.EditionId);
    var viewModel = new EditTenantViewModel(tenantEditDto, editionItems);

    return View(viewModel);
}

            abp.ui.setBusy();
            _tenantService.updateTenant(
                tenant
            ).done(function () {
                abp.notify.info(app.localize('SavedSuccessfully'));
                location.href="/AppAreaName/Tenants";
            }).always(function () {
               abp.ui.clearBusy();
            });
        };

        $("#btnEditTenant").click(edit);
    });
})();

Then go index.js and change edit button on data table.

{
    text: app.localize('Edit'),
    visible: function () {
        return _permissions.edit;
    },
    action: function (data) {
        location.href = "/AppAreaName/Tenants/Edit?id=" + data.record.id;//change that
    }
},

Result
