IronPython on ASP.NET MVC

Question

Has anyone tried ASP.NET MVC using IronPython? Having done a lot of Python development recently, it would be nice to continue with the language as I go into a potential ASP.NET

Answer 1

I'm currently working on this. It already supports a lot of things: https://github.com/simplic-systems/ironpython-aspnet-mvc

more information on this:

Import the aspnet module

import aspnet

You can write your own controller

class HomeController(aspnet.Controller):

    def index(self):
        return self.view("~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml")

You can automatically register all controller

aspnet.Routing.register_all()

You can use different http-methods

@aspnet.Filter.httpPost
    def postSample(self):
        return self.view("~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml")

And there is much more. Here is a very short example

# ------------------------------------------------
# This is the root of any IronPython based
# AspNet MVC application.
# ------------------------------------------------

import aspnet

# Define "root" class of the MVC-System
class App(aspnet.Application):

    # Start IronPython asp.net mvc application. 
    # Routes and other stuff can be registered here
    def start(self):

        # Register all routes
        aspnet.Routing.register_all()

        # Set layout
        aspnet.Views.set_layout('~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml')

        # Load style bundle
        bundle = aspnet.StyleBundle('~/Content/css')
        bundle.include("~/Content/css/all.css")

        aspnet.Bundles.add(bundle)

class HomeController(aspnet.Controller):

    def index(self):
        return self.view("~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml")

    def page(self):
        # Works also with default paths
        return self.view()

    def paramSample(self, id, id2 = 'default-value for id2'):
        # Works also with default paths
        model = SampleModel()
        model.id = id
        model.id2 = id2
        return self.view("~/Views/Home/ParamSample.cshtml", model)

    @aspnet.Filter.httpPost
    def postSample(self):
        return self.view("~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml")

class SampleModel:
    id = 0
    id2 = ''

class ProductController(aspnet.Controller):

    def index(self):
        return self.view("~/Views/Product/Index.cshtml")
