Scribbio / ReadonlyBool.cshtml
Created March 3, 2020 13:43
Linking readonly to a dynamic boolean in Razor
@* We can link the readonly html attribute to a bool defined in Razor code.
This is a neat trick if you want to use the same view for different purposes.
For example, I have an AddProduct page that also acts as the EditProduct page. In "EditProduct" mode, some of the form fields that are
used to add a new product are no longer editable (such as the product name).
This is achieved using the html readonly attribute in the relevant fields set against a single boolean variable "@editMode".
This variable is defined at the top of the page and can be set multiple ways through the controller: ViewBag/ViewModel, etc.

A Blazor component to dynamically increase or decrease a text size of text with CSS. This example controls the size of tags (special "topic" tags relating to a blog post) depending on a count associated with each tag relative to other tags in a collection.

<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8 col-md-10 py-4 mx-auto text-center">
<h2 class="mb-4">Tag Cloud</h2>
@foreach (var item in TagCloudItems)
{
<a href="/search-tag/@item.Tag" class="@ResolveTagCloudCss(item, TagCloudItemsCount) mx-1">@item.Tag</a>
}

These sections are accessible through a single menu, in our example a listview (named LvAdministration)
