MTOA Web Service Framework

The MTOA Web Service Framework makes it easier to bootstrap a Web Service Project that:

Uses MTOA for API KEY authentication and authorization
Has out-of-the-box integration with MTOA Web Service Capabilities
Supports both .NET Framework and .NET Core

Initialization

The MTOA Web Service Framework needs to be initialized as follows

In Global.asax.cs

protected void Application_Start()
{
var container = UnityConfig.Container;
int myServiceId = 11; // Register your service
ServiceFramework.Initialize(container, myServiceId);

AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Filters.Add(new WebServiceExceptionFilter());
}

In UnityConfig.cs

public static void RegisterTypes(IUnityContainer container)
{
// NOTE: To load from web.config uncomment the line below
// Make sure to add a Unity.Configuration to the using statements.
// container.LoadConfiguration();
// TODO: Register your type's mappings here.
// container.RegisterType<IProductRepository, ProductRepository>();
ServiceFramework.RegisterTypes(container);
}

Configure the API Key in the Web.Config file

<appSettings>
<add key="MtoaWebServiceUrl" value="https://wwwappstest.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/13/MTAPI-PLATFORM-TEST/api/" />
<add key="MtoaWebServiceApiKey" value="4285f015b6b44dd1b9de8f0a73c3d511" />
<add key="MtoaWebServiceJwt" value="eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJuYW1laWQiOiJSVE1SIiwidW5pcXVlX25hbWUiOiJSYXRlIGEgVEMgTWVldGluZyBSb29tIChSVE1SKSIsInJvbGUiOiJVc2VyIiwiQ29ycmVsYXRpb25LZXkiOiI4ZjBhNzNjM2Q1MTEiLCJuYmYiOjE1NTEyMTgzODQsImV4cCI6MTYxNDM3Njc4NCwiaWF0IjoxNTUxMjE4Mzg0LCJpc3MiOiJUcmFuc3BvcnQgQ2FuYWRhIiwiYXVkIjoiVHJhbnNwb3J0IENhbmFkYSJ9.X588a28OKzeib_hj_HdNTRV6LgjeWzGU98_vUUAKamw" />
</appSettings>

API Key Authorization

By default, the MTOA Web Service Framework authorizes API keys that are bound to the same service specified during the Web Service initialization.
For example, if the MTOA Web Service Framework has been initialized with the following call, it means that the caller application needs to be bound to the “RTMR” service for the call to be successful.

ServiceFramework.Initialize(container, rtmrServiceId);

If a Web Service needs to interact with an application that isn’t bound to that specific service (in this example rtmrServiceId), the WEBSERVICE_FRAMEWORK_ALLOWED_SERVICES Service Setting can be used to specify the service name to authorize.

By specifying this Service Setting (using the MTOA ServiceSettingAPI), the Web Service will accepts both the MTOA API KEY and the RTMR API KEY (even if our Web Service was associated with the MTOA service).

Using myTC Account Nuget Packages

If you don’t have access to TC NuGet, go to:
Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > Package Sources and add a reference to http://nuget.tc.gc.ca/nuget.

To install the myTC Account NuGet packages, right click on the project and select Manage NuGet Packages. Make sure Browse is selected and search for “MTOA/myTC Account” and install all of the packages.

Main navigation bar

In order to use the navigation bar you need create a sub folder called MainNavigationBar under the Views folder and create a file called Index.cshtml. In your Controllers folder add a new controller called MainNavigationBarController.cs.

Note: The following section is only applicable if you’re not using the myTC Account Services Template.

Steps to add the Main Navigation Bar

Add View

Create a sub folder called MainNavigationBar and add a view called Index.cshtml. You will need to update your resource files to include the required text.

In the Index.cshtml add the following HTML:

@model WebCommon.ViewModels.MainNavigationBarViewModel

@{

    Layout = null;

}

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head></head>

<body>

<!-- Application templates - Sample menu -->

<!-- DataAjaxFragmentStart -->

<div class="pnl-strt container nvbar">

    <h2 class="wb-inv">Main navigation menu</h2>

    <div class="row">

        <ul class="list-inline menu" role="menubar">

            <li><a class="item" href="@Model.HomePageUrl">@Resource.Home</a></li>

            <li><a class="item" href="@Model.ServicePageUrl">@Resource.MyServices</a></li>

            <li><a class="item" href="@Model.ServiceRequestsPageUrl">@Resource.MyRequests</a></li>

        </ul>

    </div>

</div>

<!-- DataAjaxFragmentEnd -->

</body>

</html>

Add Controller

Add MainNavigationController.cs

Create an action called Index and add this line at the top to have access to the view model (using WebCommon.ViewModels;) and populate the view model (see below).

public ActionResult Index()

        {

            var vm = new MainNavigationBarViewModel

            {

                HomePageUrl = GetHomePageUrl().ToString(),

                ServicePageUrl = GetServicesPageUrl().ToString(),

                ServiceRequestsPageUrl = GetServiceRequestPageUrl().ToString()

            };

            return View(vm);
        }

Set CustomSiteMenuUrl

In your BaseController override the PopulateViewBag function and this line:

WebTemplateCore.CustomSiteMenuURL = Url.Content($"~/{(WebTemplateCore.TwoLetterCultureLanguage.Equals("en") ? "eng" : "fra")}/MainNavigationBar/Index");

Adding the ServiceTitleBar

In the View folders in the Shared sub folder create a file called _ServiceTitleBar.cshtml.

Add the following to the partial view:

@model RTMR.Web.Portal.Models.ServiceTitleBarViewModel

<header>

    <h2 class="app-name-submenu"><img src="~/Content/Images/file.svg" class="iconImg" alt="" /> @Model.Title</h2>

</header>

 

@if (Model.TitleBarButtons!=null &&Model.TitleBarButtons.Any())

{

    <hr class="home-hr" />

    <div class="row">

        @foreach (var menuBar in Model.TitleBarButtons)

        {

            <div class="col-md-4">

                <a href="@menuBar.Link" class="@Html.Raw(menuBar.IsPrimary ? "btn btn-primary" : "btn btn-default active") btn-lg btn-block">@menuBar.Text</a>

            </div>

        }

    </div>

}

Add to view

Inside your view add the following line:

In your view model add the following property:

public ServiceTitleBarViewModel ServiceTitleBar { get; set; }

Inside your controller you can set the view models ServiceTitleBar property to set the Title, TitleBarButtons with associated text and links.

Wizard Control

The wizard control is used to visually display the status of each steps when filling out a form.

Steps to add the Wizard

Adding the Wizard

In the View folders in the Shared sub folder create a file called Wizard.cshtml.

Add to view

Inside your view add the following line:

Figure 3.4‑13 - Add to view

In your view model add the following property:

public WizardViewModel Wizard

Add WizardStepState

In your Models folder add an Enum called WizardStepState.

public enum WizardStepState

{

NotAccessed,

Completed,

Incomplete,

InProgress,

Inapplicable,

Summary

}

Add WizardStepViewModel

In your Models folder add a new view model called WizardStepViewModel.

public class WizardStepViewModel

{

public string Title { get; set; }

public string Url { get; set; }

public WizardStepState State { get; set; }

public string GetUrl()

{

return State == WizardStepState.Inapplicable ||

State == WizardStepState.NotAccessed

? "#"

: Url;

}

Add WizardViewModel

In your Models folder add a new view model called WizardViewModel.

public class WizardViewModel

{

public WizardViewModel()

{

WizardSteps = new List<WizardStepViewModel>();

}

public ICollection<WizardStepViewModel> WizardSteps { get; set; }

public int Count => WizardSteps.Count;

public int? LastCompletedIndex => WizardSteps.Reverse()

.Select((x,i) => new {State = x.State, Index = Count - i - 1})

.FirstOrDefault(x=>x.State == WizardStepState.Completed)

?.Index;

public int? InProgressIndex => WizardSteps.Reverse()

.Select((x, i) => new { State = x.State, Index = Count - i - 1})

.FirstOrDefault(x => x.State == WizardStepState.InProgress)

?.Index;

}

Add WizardController

Create a WizardController in the Controllers folder, or add the following code in your controller.

public ActionResult Index(int steps = 8, int current = 5, int completed = 4, int incomplete = 3, int inapplicable = 6, int summary = 7)

{

current = Clamp(current, steps);

completed = Clamp(completed, steps);

incomplete = Clamp(incomplete, steps);

inapplicable = Clamp(inapplicable, steps);

summary = Clamp(summary, steps);

var vm = GenerateWizardViewModel(steps, current, completed, incomplete, inapplicable, summary)

return View(vm);

}

protected WizardViewModel GenerateWizardViewModel(int count, int current = 0, int completed = 0, int incomplete = 0, int inapplicable = 0, int summary = 0)

{

var steps = Enumerable.Range(1, count).Select(x => new WizardStepViewModel()

{

Title = "Your Title",

Url = Url.Action("Action", "Controller"),

State = x == 1 ? WizardStepState.InProgress : WizardStepState.NotAccessed,

}).ToList();

if (completed > 0)

{

for (int i = 0; i < completed; i++)

{

steps[i].State = WizardStepState.Completed;

}

if (current != 0)

{

steps[current - 1].State = WizardStepState.InProgress;

}

if (incomplete != 0)

{

steps[incomplete - 1].State = WizardStepState.Incomplete;

}

if (inapplicable != 0)

{

steps[inapplicable - 1].State = WizardStepState.Inapplicable;

}

if (summary != 0)

{

steps[summary - 1].State = WizardStepState.Summary;

}

return new WizardViewModel() { WizardSteps = steps };

}

private int Clamp(int val, int max) => val < max ? val : max;

1.1.2 Survey Feedback

The survey lets you select a rating from 1 to 5 stars (this is a required field) and also add optional comments. The survey is anonymous, which means that the user’s id will not be saved in the database.

You can view an example of the survey feedback on this site: http://ncras545.tc.gc.ca:8084/eng/feedback

Steps to create a survey feedback.

Rendering 5 Star Rating Bar in your Survey Feedback involves following tasks:

Create a partial-view "_rating.cshtml" to render 5 Star Rating Bar in your Survey Feedback

@model string[]

@*We expect at least two elements in model model[0] to be used as "name" and model[1] as the value*@

@{

var name = Model[0];

var value = Model[1];

}

<legend class="star-rating__title"><span class="field-name">@Resource.Rating</span></legend>

@for (var i = 2; i <= 5; i++)

{

}

</div>

</fieldset>

</div>

a) In above code "@model string[]" accepts string array – this partial view expects at least two values; the first element in array must be the “name” attribute for “radio” buttons that partial view uses for “stars”

b) Above partial view renders 5 Star Rating Bar in your Survey Feedback, as shown below:

The default state	Mouse Over State

In your controller create a POST action

[HttpPost]

[UrlRouteEng(Path = "index")]

[UrlRouteFra(Path = "index")]

public async Task<ActionResult> Index(FeedbackViewModel feedbackViewModel)

{

var feedback = new Feedback

{

Comment = feedbackViewModel.Comment,

Rating = feedbackViewModel.Rating,

ServiceId = RtmrServiceId

};

if (!ModelState.IsValid)

{

return View(feedbackViewModel);

}

Logger.Info("[HttpPost] - New feedback survey created.");

await _feedbackManager.Add(feedback);

return RedirectToAction("Index");

}

Add “Resource” strings used in tooltip (meets an accessibility of 5 Star Rating Bar in your Survey Feedback)

At present partial-view (_ratings.cshtml) mentioned above, expects a “Resource” file, however as per your need you may copy following resource strings to different CSS file, in that case make sure to change above mentioned partial-view to use resource file of your choice.

Resource.resx

...

Stars

{0} Stars

OneStar

1 Star

...

French Translation for tooltip:

Resource. fr-CA.resx

...

Stars

{0} Étoiles

OneStar

1 Étoile

...

In case you want to get the feedback in a middle of your view you only need following

...

@Html.Partial("_rating", new string[] {"rating", Model.Rating.ToString()})

...

If you want a feedback in a Dialog then inside your view add the following

@* feedback Overlay *@

<h2 class="modal-title">@Html.Raw(Resource.TCFeedbackSurvey)</h2>

</header>

@Html.Raw(Resource.TellUsAbout)

@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Feedback", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "feedbackForm" }))

{

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Rating)

@Html.Partial("_rating", new string[] {"rating", Model.Rating.ToString()})

</div>

<div>

@Html.Raw(Resource.ProvideComments)

</div>

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Comment, htmlAttributes: new { @for = "meetingroom-comment" })<br />

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Comment, new { htmlAttributes = new { id = "meetingroom-comment", @class = "form-control" } })

</div>

<button class="btn btn-default overlay-close" type="button">@Resource.CancelButton</button>

</div>

}

</div>

</section>

Copy styles in a separate css file (in this case css file is “rating.css”)

.toggle-list-items-container {

display: flex;

margin: 5px 10px;

}

.toggle-list-items-container > Legend {

display: contents;

font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;

font-size: 16px;

font-weight: 700;

}

.toggle-list-items-container > Legend > span {

margin: auto;

}

.ratingContainer {

display: flex;

float: left;

border: 1px solid #ccc;

border-radius: 5px;

padding: 10px;

}

.ratingContainerFocus {

box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(82,168,236,.6);

}

.star-rating__stars {

position: relative;

height: 4rem;

width: 25rem;

background-size: 5rem 5rem;

margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px;

}

.star-rating__title {

position: relative;

}

.star-rating__label {

position: absolute;

height: 100%;

background-size: 5rem 5rem;

}

.star-rating__input {

margin: 0;

position: absolute;

height: 1px;

width: 1px;

overflow: hidden;

clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);

}

.star-rating__stars .star-rating__label:nth-of-type(1) {

z-index: 5;

width: 20%;

}

.star-rating__stars .star-rating__label:nth-of-type(2) {

z-index: 4;

width: 40%;

}

.star-rating__stars .star-rating__label:nth-of-type(3) {

z-index: 3;

width: 60%;

}

.star-rating__stars .star-rating__label:nth-of-type(4) {

z-index: 2;

width: 80%;

}

.star-rating__stars .star-rating__label:nth-of-type(5) {

z-index: 1;

width: 100%;

}

.star-rating__stars .star-rating__label:nth-of-type(5):hover { /*Handles a bug*/

}

.star-rating__input:checked + .star-rating__label,

.star-rating__input:focus + .star-rating__label,

.star-rating__label:hover {

}

.star-rating__label:hover ~ .star-rating__label {

}

Note: Above stylesheet uses “on.svg” and “off.svg” to draw solid and hollow star

To draw stars, copy following svg files and if needed change relative path in above CSS

Content of “on.svg”

</svg>

Content of “off.svg”

</svg>

Either copy above styles in a view or reference a separate css file

In this case we reference above rating.css file in a view where rating bar need to be displayed

@section Styles {

...

...

}

If rating bar is used in a Dialog then inside your view copy following script

@section scripts

{

'use strict';

$(document).ready(function () {

// following section use to highlight border surronding to star container

$('.star-rating__input').focus(function () {

$(this).closest('.ratingContainer').addClass('ratingContainerFocus');

});

$('.star-rating__input').blur(function () {

$(this).closest('.ratingContainer').removeClass('ratingContainerFocus');

});

// following section only needed if rating bar used in a Dialog

// and form in a dialog need to submit asynchronously without refreshing page

var feedbackDialog = $('#feedback-screen');

var feedbackForm = $('#feedbackForm');

var checkFeedback = function () {

$('#saveAndContinueButton').prop('disabled', true);

var values = feedbackForm.serializeArray();

if (values && values.length > 0) {

values.forEach(function (v, i) { if (v.value && v.value.length > 0) { $('#saveAndContinueButton').removeAttr('disabled'); return false; } });

}

$(".feedbackForm > input[type=text], input[type=radio], textarea").on('change keyup paste', checkFeedback);

$("#saveAndContinueButton").click(function (e) {

e.preventDefault();

$.ajax({

type: "POST",

url: feedbackForm.attr('action'),

data: feedbackForm.serialize()

});

feedbackDialog.trigger('close');

});

feedbackDialog.trigger('open.wb-overlay');

});

</script>

}

Above javascript peforms following tasks:

a) "feedbackDialog.trigger('open.wb-overlay');" opens a dialog defined (assumes you want a feedback in a dialog) with id “#feedback-screen”

b) Monitors the input within each input in a form defined with id “#feedbackForm” (you may need to change it to suite your need)

var services = await _serviceCatalog.GetAll();

var outageNotices = userOutageNotices.Select(outageNotice =>

new

{

ServiceNames = services.Where(serviceInfo => outageNotice.Services.Any(serviceId => serviceId == serviceInfo.Id)),

Header = Utility.IsEnglish() ? outageNotice.EnglishHeaderText : outageNotice.FrenchHeaderText,

Body = Utility.IsEnglish() ? outageNotice.EnglishBodyText : outageNotice.FrenchBodyText

})

.Select(service => new OutageNoticeViewModel

{

Body = service.Body,

Header = service.Header,

AffectedServices = service.ServiceNames.Select(serviceInfo => Utility.IsEnglish() ? serviceInfo.FriendlyNameEn : serviceInfo.FriendlyNameFr)
