I need to add a search bar on my index page, and the result of the research will be show on another page.
What I've tried:
The view
<form class="row contact-form rounded-pill link no-gutters" id="contact-form-data">
@using (Html.BeginForm("RechercheResto", "Client", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="col-12 col-lg-8 d-inline-block d-lg-flex align-items-center">
<div class="form-group">
<label><i class="lni lni-restaurant" aria-hidden="true"></i></label>
<input type="text" name="nomResto" placeholder="Nom du restaurant" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-lg-4">
<i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin mr-2 d-none" aria-hidden="true"></i>
<input type="submit" class="btn main-btn rounded-pill w-100 h-100 contact_btn" value="Rechercher le restaurant" />
</div>
}
</form>
The controller
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult RechercheResto(string nomResto)
{
var restoList = from r in db.Restaurants select r;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(nomResto))
{
restoList = restoList.Where(r => r.name.Contains(nomResto));
}
return View(restoList.ToList());
}
At the time of returning View(restoList.ToList()) you can add viewname in first parameter and second will be your result.ToList().
