Knockoutjs check/uncheck all checkboxes using header checkbox.

While working with Knockoutjs ViewModel, if we implement the select all checkbox feature using traditional JavaScript/JQuery, then in such scenario we can see that Knockoutjs observable property is not getting updated when all checkboxes are checked/unchecked.

To handle such situation, we can create Knockoutjs computed property (with read/write) and can bind it to header checkbox and there is no need to use the traditional JQuery. Below is the sample code to demonstrate the same:

As usual create the Knockoutjs ViewModel and then bind it to UI using ko.applyBindings
function CheckViewModel() {
    var self = this;
    self.Countries = ko.observableArray(                                                       [
                    new Country("Australia"),
                     new Country("India"),
                     new Country("Russia"),
                    new Country("United Kingdom"),
                    new Country("United States")                                                ]);

    self.SelectAll = ko.computed({
        read: function () {
            var country = ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.Countries(), function (ctr) {
                return !ctr.Selected();
            });
            return country == null;
        },
        write: function (value) {
            ko.utils.arrayForEach(self.Countries(), function (ctr) {
                ctr.Selected(value);
            });
        }
    }).extend({ throttle: 1 });
}
Country = function (name) {
    this.CountyName = name;
    this.Selected = ko.observable(false);
}
ko.applyBindings(new CheckViewModel());

Once Knockoutjs ViewModel is ready to use, create the HTML and use Knockout binding.
<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>
              <input type="checkbox" data-bind="checked: SelectAll" />
              Select All Countries
            </th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody data-bind="foreach: $data.Countries">
        <tr>
            <td>
              <input type="checkbox" data-bind="checked: Selected" />
              <label data-bind="text: CountyName"></label>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

See highlighted part of HTML and Scripts, we are binding header checkbox with property SelectAll and this property will help us implementing the check/uncheck all checkboxes feature.

Note: There is problem of ordo n ^ 2 when selecting deselecting all if we use simple Knockoutjs computed property.
To handle this either we can use a pasuable computed property or we can also extend the computed with a throttle, as shown below and also used in our script.

.extend({ throttle: 1 })

You can also see the working jsfiddle of this example.

Error 405 : ASP.NET Core Web API PUT and DELETE Methods not allowed

Recently, while working with .Net core API I came across the issue of “Error 405 — Methods not Allowed” After some research, I found out that both GET and POST requests working fine but neither PUT nor DELETE requests working. Another thing is that the PUT and DELETE request was also working fine on my local machine but failed when we host on our Azure server. When I explored the issue on the web it led me to the conclusion that WebDAVModule seems to set PUT and DELETE request methods disabled by default and due to that PUT and DELETE throw 405 errors. To make the PUT and DELETE requests work, we need to override the WebDAVModule setting in web.config file by adding the below settings under “ system.webServer ”. < system.webServer >   < modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests = " false " >     < remove name = " WebDAVModule " />   </ modules > </ system.webServer > There may be 2 web.config files in y...

C#: Merging Excel cells with NPOI HSSFWorkbook

In this post we’ll see how to merge the two or more cell with each other while creating the excel sheet using NPOI . Mentioned below is code to merge multiple cells, in this example we are merging first cell to fifth cell of first row (you can adjust row or cell range by passing particular parameters in CellRangeAddress). //Created new Workbook var hwb = new NPOI.HSSF.UserModel. HSSFWorkbook (); //Create worksheet with name. var sheet = hwb.CreateSheet( "new sheet" ); //Create row and cell. var row = sheet.CreateRow(0); var cell = row.CreateCell(0); ; //Set text inside cell cell.SetCellValue( "This is Merged cell" ); cell.CellStyle.WrapText = true ; //define cell range address // parameters: -> first row to last and first cell to last cell var cra = new NPOI.SS.Util. CellRangeAddress (0, 0, 0, 4); //Add merged region to sheet. sheet.AddMergedRegion(cra); Hope this solution helps you J

How to set Swagger as the default start page for API hosted on the Azure web app?

I created an Asp.Net Core 2.x Web API and configured Swagger on it, below is the code added in Configure method under Startup.cs file, for full swagger configuration, check here //Add swagger configuration app.UseSwagger(); app.UseSwaggerUI(c => {     c.SwaggerEndpoint( "../swagger/v1/swagger.json" , "Test API V1" ); }); On my local machine when I run the API it is automatically redirected to the Swagger page. However, when I hosted this API as an Azure web app it is not redirecting directly to the Swagger and to access the swagger, I had to append /swagger in the URL, for example, https://testapi.azurewebsites.net/swagger/ Solution: Set RoutePrefix to string.Empty under app.UseSwaggerUI like below: app.UseSwaggerUI(c => {     c.SwaggerEndpoint( "../swagger/v1/swagger.json" , "Test API V1" );      c.RoutePrefix = string .Empty; // Set Swagger UI at apps root }); And that’s it, now when you b...
