Razor Pages.NetCore OnPost 处理程序

Question

I am working on a project in C# with.NetCore Razor Pages and I have this page where a user makes an appointment by completing some fields.

I have this field that is a calendar and the user can select a date from it. Based on that date I want to populate a drop down with a list of hours that are available for an appointment.

I tried to use Handlers like OnPost() but that requires a submit button, but I only have the calendar input.

This is the code I use in my Razor Page for the calendar

<div class="form-group col-md-4">
    <label asp-for="StartDate"></label>
    <input asp-for="StartDate" class="form-control" />
    <span class="text-danger" asp-validation-for="StartDate"></span>
</div>

In my model page I should have something like

 public IActionResult OnPostStartDate()
 {
    \\code that brings from the database the available hours 
 }

Is there any other function that I can use so when the user chooses a date from the calendar the dropdown will be populated with the available hours?

EDIT In my Razor Page

@section Scripts {
    <script>
          $("#StartDate").on("change", function () {
              var time = $(this).val();
              $("#select").empty();
              $("#select").append("<option value=''>select </option>");
              $.getJSON(`?handler=Time&time=${time}`, (data) => {
                $.each(data, function (i, item) {
                $("#select").append("<option value='"  + "'>" + item.hour + "</option>");
                });
            });      
        });
    </script>
}





<form class="form-style" method="post" id="createBTForm">
    <div asp-validation-summary="ModelOnly" class="text-danger"></div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label asp-for="StartDate" class="control-label"></label>
            <input asp-for="StartDate" class="form-control" />
            <span asp-validation-for="StartDate" class="text-danger"></span>
        </div>

   <select id="select" asp-for="Time" class="form-control"></select>

   <div class="form-group button-position col-md4">
          <input type="submit" id="placeRequest" name="placeRequest" value="Place Request" class="btn btn-primary" />
   </div>
</form>

In my model Page

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Field cannot be empty!")]
[BindProperty]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[Display(Name = "Start Date:")]
public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }

//this is null after selecting an option from the dropdown
[BindProperty]
public string Time { get;set; }

//this is the method that should work when I press the Place Request submit button
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPost()
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return Page();
    }

    //here I send the data to the database     
           
    return Redirect(Url.Page(indexPage));
}


//this is the method that puts the values on the dropdown (this works)
public async Task<IActionResult> OnGetTime(DateTime time)
{
    //Here I set my model based on database data
      var finalHours = leaveFromLocations.Where(f => !unavailable.Contains(f));

      foreach (var h in finalHours)
      {
             model.Add(new Hours
             {
                  Hour = h
              });
      }

      return new JsonResult(model);

}

The problem is that after I send the json model to the dropdown and the values appear in the dropdown I can't take the option that is selected (in debug after choosing an option the Time property appears null)

You can write an onchange function and then use ajax to send data to backend.Below is a simple demo.

 <form method="post">
        <div asp-validation-summary="ModelOnly" class="text-danger"></div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label asp-for="Time.StartDate" class="control-label"></label>
            <input asp-for="Time.StartDate" class="form-control" />
            <span asp-validation-for="Time.StartDate" class="text-danger"></span>
        </div>
        <select id="select" asp-for="Time.Hour" class="form-control"></select>
        <div class="form-group">
            <input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-primary" />
        </div>
</form>
@section Scripts {
    @{await Html.RenderPartialAsync("_ValidationScriptsPartial");}
<script>
    $("#Time_StartDate").on("change", function () {
        var time = $(this).val();
        $("#select").empty();
        $("#select").append("<option value=''>select </option>");
        $.getJSON(`?handler=Time&time=${time}`, (data) => {
            $.each(data, function (i, item) {
                //"id" and "hours" is in your JsonResult(model),and remember The first letter of the attribute must be lowercase
                $("#select").append("<option value='" + item.id + "'>" + item.hours + "</option>");
            });
        });
    });
</script>
}

Backend:

  public IActionResult OnGetTime(DateTime time)
    {
        //this is a fake data,you can query your data here.
        var model = new List<Hour>
        {
            new Hour
            {
                Id=1,
                Hours=1
            },
            new Hour
            {
                Id=2,
                Hours=2
            },
        };
        return new JsonResult(model);
    }
