Good Afternoon all,
I'm going to apologize in advance, I am really confused on this subject and also do not exactly know how to ask for help on this topic.
To begin, I am creating a server-less web application using awssdk 2.1. This package came with a great template for the web application but upon creation it does not have a home controller, or any controller(s). Default , I have a folder called Pages inside I had the below files
_ViewStart.cshtml
@{
Layout = "_Layout";
}
_Layout.cshtml
<html> ..
.
RenderBody();
.
</html>
and your standard index.cshtml file
I created another view named Contact, stored the file in the Pages folder. My project can successful navigate and render the Contact.cshtml file. I was already familiar with MVC on .netframework so the work around wasn't to bad . I used this line to control navigation within my project
<div class="unit-body"><a asp-page="/Contact">Contact</a></div>
The contact page contains a form and a button, I would like to user the information from the form and a function that would send a email. I created the "Home" Controller and within the Contact Method added my logic to fire off the email. However, I never executes any code from my controller. I doesn't even know it exists.
<div class="col-xl-6 col-md-8 col-12">
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div class="form-wrap">
<label class="form-label" for="contact-name">Name<span class="req-symbol">*</span></label>
<input class="form-input" id="contact-name" type="text" name="name">
</div>
<div class="form-wrap">
<label class="form-label" for="contact-phone">Phone<span class="req-symbol">*</span></label>
<input class="form-input" id="contact-phone" type="text" name="phone">
</div>
<div class="form-wrap">
<label class="form-label" for="contact-email">E-Mail<span class="req-symbol">*</span></label>
<input class="form-input" id="contact-email" type="email" name="email">
</div>
<div class="form-wrap">
<label class="form-label label-textarea" for="contact-message">Message<span class="req-symbol">*</span></label>
<textarea class="form-input" id="contact-message" name="message"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="form-button group-sm text-center text-lg-left">
<button class="button button-primary" @Html.ActionLink("Send", "Contact", "Home", new { @body = "test" })></button>
</div>
}
</div>
Without the use of the controller I have no way to pass the values around to execute my process. I also scoured all the files within the project and cannot find any configuration files to I might be able to set my own HomeController.
If someone could explain or point me in the right direction to begin understanding what/how is rendering my pages.
OR
If someone could help by providing a solution, or resources on how I could pass parameter values without a controller.
