What is partial View in Asp.net core

 

 In ASP.NET Core, a partial view serves a similar purpose as in ASP.NET MVC. It's a reusable component representing a portion of a web page. However, ASP.NET Core is a more modern framework, and partial views are typically used within Razor Pages or MVC applications.

Here's an overview of partial views in ASP.NET Core:

  1. Reusable UI Components: Partial views allow you to encapsulate and reuse UI components across multiple pages within your ASP.NET Core application.

  2. Encapsulation: They help in breaking down complex UIs into smaller, manageable parts, enhancing code organization and maintainability.

  3. Rendering: Similar to ASP.NET MVC, partial views in ASP.NET Core are rendered using Razor syntax. You can include a partial view within another view using the Partial or RenderPartial methods.

  4. Data Passing: You can pass data to partial views from their parent views or controllers, allowing them to render dynamic content based on the provided data.

  5. Asynchronous Loading: Partial views can also be loaded asynchronously using AJAX, improving the responsiveness and performance of your web application by fetching and rendering partial views independently.

The usage and implementation of partial views in ASP.NET Core are quite similar to ASP.NET MVC, but ASP.NET Core offers additional features and improvements in terms of performance, cross-platform support, and development experience.

What is partial View in Asp.net core


Here's how you can implement a partial view in an ASP.NET Core application:

  1. Create the Partial View:

    • In your ASP.NET Core project, navigate to the "Views" folder.
    • Within the "Views" folder, create a new folder (if not already present) named "Shared".
    • Inside the "Shared" folder, add a new Razor view file. Name it something like "_PartialExample.cshtml". The leading underscore indicates that it's a partial view.

    • <!-- _PartialExample.cshtml -->
    • <div>
    •     <h2>Partial View Example</h2>
    •     <!-- Add any HTML content or Razor code here -->
    • </div>
  2. Include the Partial View in a Page:

    • You can include this partial view in any other Razor page within your application.
    • Open a Razor page (e.g., Index.cshtml).
    • Include the partial view using PartialView tag helper or RenderPartial method.

    • <!-- Index.cshtml -->
    • <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>

    • <div>
    •     <!-- Include the partial view -->
    •     @await Html.PartialAsync("_PartialExample")
    • </div>

  3. Passing Data to Partial View:

    • If your partial view requires data, you can pass it from the parent view or controller action.
    • <!-- Index.cshtml -->
    • <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>

    • <div>
    •     <!-- Include the partial view -->
    •     @await Html.PartialAsync("_PartialExample")
    • </div>
    • // MyController.cs
    • public IActionResult Index()
    • {
    •     var myData = // get data from somewhere
    •     return View(myData);
    • }
    • <!-- _PartialExampleWithData.cshtml -->
    • @model IEnumerable<MyModel>

    • <div>
    •     <h2>Partial View Example with Data</h2>
    •     <!-- Render data using Razor syntax -->
    •     @foreach (var item in Model)
    •     {
    •         <p>@item.PropertyName</p>
    •     }
    • </div>
  4. Rendering in Layout:

    • You can also include partial views in layout files, which will be applied to all pages.
<!-- _Layout.cshtml -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <!-- Head content goes here -->
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Include the header partial view -->
    @await Html.PartialAsync("_Header")

    <div class="container">
        @RenderBody() <!-- Main content of each view will be rendered here -->
    </div>
    
    <!-- Include the footer partial view -->
    @await Html.PartialAsync("_Footer")
</body>
</html>

That's it! You've now implemented a partial view in your ASP.NET Core application. You can create more partial views as needed and include them in various pages to promote code reusability and maintainability.
