Display Data in Asp.net Core

Question

Hi
I am new to ASP.NET Core and I want to display data in main Index.cshtml page
I followed these steps:

• Create New Project > ASP.NET Core Web App

• Project > Add > New Folder > "Model"
• "Model" > Add > Class > "Book"

using System;  
using System.Collections.Generic;  
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;  
using System.Linq;  
using System.Threading.Tasks;  
  
namespace WebApplication8.Model  
{  
    public class Book  
    {  
        [Key]  
        public int id { get; set; }  
        public string title { get; set; }  
    }  
}  
  

• Pages > Add > New Folder > "Books"

• "Books" > Add > New Scaffolded Item > Razor Pages using Entity Framework (KRUD)

• Tools > NuGet Pacage Manager > Package Manager Console

PM> Add-Migration InitialCreate -Context WebApplication8.Data.WebApplication8Context  
PM> Update-Database -Context WebApplication8.Data.WebApplication8Context  

• Change IIS Express to WebApplication8 and Run

• Add some data to https://localhost:5001/Books

I stopped here, and now I'm trying to view list of books on the home page.

Thanks

IMHO you need to understand the following:

1) understand the models used in MVC...

2) understand how to use a viewmodel

3) understand SoC and MVC

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/modern-web-apps-azure/architectural-principles

4) understand clean coding and dependency injection
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-magazine/2016/may/asp-net-writing-clean-code-in-asp-net-core-with-dependency-injection

5) understand to keep the controller thin, which is being talked about in one of the last topics in the link about Understanding Models.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/mvc/overview/older-versions-1/overview/understanding-models-views-and-controllers-cs

You should understand the principles of using MVC, becuase the MVC pipeline is being used in a Razor page project the Visual Studio project architecture is the same as a MVC project.
