How to load ajax content on clicking the list item in the Navigation drawer?
Loading ajax content on click in Navigation drawer
When the list is clicked on the Navigation drawer, Dynamic content can be loaded into a page by Ajax post. The click event can be handled by using the listview touchend event. Refer to the following code example.
HTML
@Html.EJ().Button("button").Text("OpenDrawer")
@Html.EJ().NavigationDrawer("navpane").TargetId("button").Direction(NavigationDrawerDirection.Left).Type(NavigationDrawerType.Overlay).EnableListView(true).ListViewSettings(settings =>
{
settings.Width(300).ShowHeader(false).ClientSideEvents(events => { events.MouseDown("navListClick"); }).PersistSelection(true);
}).ContentTemplate(@<ul>
<li data-ej-text="Essential Chart"></li>
<li data-ej-text="Essential Grid"></li>
<li data-ej-text="Essential Tools"></li>
<li data-ej-text="Essential Schedule"></li>
</ul>)
When the list item is clicked, you can perform the Ajax post action as in the following code example.
Script
<script> function navListClick(args) { $.ajax({ url: "/Listview/GetContent", type: 'POST', data: { text: args.text }, success: function (response) { //Success handler of content loading while list click happens $("#render").html(response); $("#navpane").ejNavigationDrawer("close") }, error: function (error) { alert(error); } }) }</script> |
In Controller, to get the appropriate content on clicking the list you need to define a method GetContent. This Ajax post makes a call on the GetContent method along with the text parameter as in the following code examples.
The Partial1, Partial2, Partial3 and Partial4 are the view pages that contain the Ajax content.
Controller
public ActionResult GetContent(string text)
{
switch (text)
{
case "Essential Chart":
return PartialView("Partial1");
case "Essential Grid":
return PartialView("Partial2");
case "Essential Schedule":
return PartialView("Partial3");
default:
return PartialView("Partial4");
}
}
Output
