This article will show you how to get the Kendo UI support to work with widget using AngularJS and ASP.NET WEB API. This article flow as follows,

  1. Creating an ASP.NET Web API application.
  2. Creating a Controller.
  3. Testing the API.
  4. Implementing the Kendo List View with paging using AngularJS with the REST API.

1.Creating a Web API application using an installed web template in Visual Studio as in the following figures,



Creating a Model Classes:

In the Solution Explorer, right click the model folder, Add-> Class and name it as Employee.

Employee.cs

  1. public class Employee
  3. {
  5. public Employee(int Id, string Name,string Designation, string Image )
  6. {
  7. this.EmployeeID= Id;
  8. this.EmployeeName=Name;
  9. this.Designation=Designation;
  10. this.EmployeeImage = Image;
  11. }
  12. public int EmployeeID { get; set; }
  13. public string EmployeeName { get; set; }
  14. public string Designation { get; set; }
  15. public string EmployeeImage { get; set; }
  17. }

2. Creating WEB API Controller:

In Solution Explorer, right-click the Controller folder. Select Add -> Controller ->Web API 2 Controller-Empty name it as EmployeeController.cs,



EmployeeController.cs
  1. [RoutePrefix("api/Employee")]
  2. public class EmployeeController : ApiController
  3. {
  4. [HttpGet]
  5. [AllowAnonymous]
  6. [Route("EmployeeList")]
  7. public HttpResponseMessage GetEmployee()
  8. {
  9. try {
  10. List<Employee> EmpLists = new List<Employee>();
  11. EmpLists.Add(new Employee(1, "Govind Raj", "Business Analyst", "/Images/Img.png"));
  12. EmpLists.Add(new Employee(2, "Krishn Mahato", "Development", "/Images/Img.png"));
  13. EmpLists.Add(new Employee(3, "Bob Ross", "Testing", "/Images/Img.png"));
  14. EmpLists.Add(new Employee(4, "Steve Davis", "Development", "/Images/Img.png"));
  15. EmpLists.Add(new Employee(5, "Dave Tucker", "Infrastructure", "/Images/Img.png"));
  16. EmpLists.Add(new Employee(6, "James Anderson", "HR", "/Images/Img.png"));
  17. EmpLists.Add(new Employee(7, "Arun Kumar", "Testing", "/Images/Img.png"));
  18. EmpLists.Add(new Employee(8, "Gowtham Kumar", "Testing", "/Images/Img.png"));
  19. return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, EmpLists, Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter);
  20. }
  21. catch(Exception ex)
  22. {
  23. return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, ex.Message, Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter);
  24. }
  25. }
  26. }

3. Testing the API

Test the API using the POSTMAN/Fiddler as in the following figures,

API End Point: /api/Employee/EmployeeList.

Type : GET



4. Implementing the Kendo List View with paging using AngularJS with the REST API.

Creating a HTML page

Create a new HTML page in the project.

Design:

  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. <html>
  3. <head>
  4. <title>List View</title>
  5. <meta charset="utf-8" />
  6. <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.1.412/styles/kendo.common.min.css">
