POST vs PUT in Rest

POST vs PUT in Rest 

Example :

"POST /books" with a bunch of book information might create a new book, and respond with the new URL identifying that book: "/books/5".

"PUT /books/5" would have to either create a new book with the id of 5, or replace the existing book with ID 5.

In non-resource style, POST can be used for just about anything that has a side effect. One other difference is that PUT should be idempotent - multiple PUTs of the same data to the same URL should be fine, whereas multiple POSTs might create multiple objects or whatever it is your POST action does.

Ajax call in MVC

Ajax call in MVC

The first thing to look at is the key settings options that are available for AJAX requests:

type This is type of HTTP Request and accepts a valid HTTP verb. POST is the option illustrated in this article.
url This is the location of the resource that the request will be made to.
data This is the actual data to be sent as part of the request.
contentType This is the content type of the request you are making. The default is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.
dataType This is the type of data you expect to receive back. Accepted values are text, xml, json, script, html jsonp. If you do not provide a value, jQuery will examine the MIME type of the response and base its decision on that.

Example

< script >
   $( function () {
        $( "button" ).click( function () {
            var car = { Make: 'Audi', Model: 'A4 Avant', Colour: 'Black', Registered: 2013 };
            $.ajax( {
                type: "POST",
                url: "/Receiver",
                data: car,
                datatype: "html",
                success: function ( data ) {
                    $( '#result' ).html( data );
                }
            } );
        });
    } );

< /script >

Setting async false in ajax in MVC

Setting async false in ajax in MVC

Setting async to false means that the statement you are calling has to complete before the next statement in your function can be called. If you set async: true then that statement will begin it's execution and the next statement will be called regardless of whether the async statement has completed yet.




By default async is true in ajax call.

MVC Life Cycle

MVC Life Cycle

Step 1 Fill route: - MVC requests are mapped to route tables which in turn specify which controller and action to be invoked. So if the request is the first request the first thing is to fill the route table with routes collection. This filling of route table happens in the global.asax file.

Step 2 Fetch route:- Depending on the URL sent "UrlRoutingModule" searches the route table to create "RouteData" object which has the details of which controller and action to invoke.

Step 3 Request context created: - The "RouteData" object is used to create the "RequestContext" object.

Step 4 Controller instance created: - This request object is sent to "MvcHandler" instance to create the controller class instance. Once the controller class object is created it calls the "Execute" method of the controller class.

Creating Response object: - This phase has two steps executing the action and finally sending the response as a result to the view.

Step 5 Execute Action: - The "ControllerActionInvoker" determines which action to executed and executes the action.

Step 6 Result sent: - The action method executes and creates the type of result which can be a view result , file result , JSON result etc.
