ASP .NET Core jqxGrid taghelper – injecting AntiForgery Request token

[Derek BroughtonParticipant]

Generally, Controller actions in .NET Core MVC are protected from forgery by validating an encrypted token that needs to be sent in the POST data using either a RequestVerificationToken Header or as a field named __RequestVerificationToken.

Generating the token is fairly trivial in the Razor template, but is there a way to either include a constant value in a jqx-grid-column, or to inject the relevant Header into the updateRow AJAX call?

Hi Derek Broughton,

I suppose that by using Javascript after the Grid is created you can modify the updateRow callback function in a way you wish.

That’s not very helpful, since the construction of the updateRow callback is hidden (and minified) when generated from the TagHelper. Could you give me a clue?

Hi Derek Broughton,

Yes it is hidden, but you can override it after the tag helper is initialized by using Javascript.

But how? I haven’t found a single one of your examples that shows an updateRow callback actually doing anything (they just contain comments and then commit(true)), and I can’t work it out from your constructed code, because the debugger just dumps me into the middle of an unreadable string.

I need to be able to figure out what your updateRow() function is doing before I can figure out how to modify it.
