I am building an online booking system so that people can book doctor appointments online. I have roughly built my MVC 4 controller so that I can test it with the stored procedure that I have to get the available appointments for each doctor.
Below you will see that I have hard coded 10 doctors in the controller but I will need to pull the doctor ID's from a URL & the number of doctors may vary (it may have 10 doctors on the first page but only 1 doctor on the last page).
NOTE: I will also need to add "BusinessID" to the controller & the stored procedure as each doctor can work at multiple businesses.
The URL will look something like (DOC ID's will have 2 parts: StaffID-BusinessID):
http://mydomain.com/Bookings?start=2013-01-01&StaffID=1-1&StaffID=2-1&StaffID=3-1&StaffID=4-1&StaffID=5-1&StaffID=6-1
My questions are:
----Get Available Time Slots Controller----
public ActionResult Index(DateTime? start)
{
if (!start.HasValue )
{
start = DateTime.Today;
}
//get date information (this will always be 7 days)
var day1 = start.Value.Date;
var day2 = day1.AddDays(1);
var day3 = day1.AddDays(2);
var day4 = day1.AddDays(3);
var day5 = day1.AddDays(4);
var day6 = day1.AddDays(5);
var day7 = day1.AddDays(6);

basically, I need to get the json formatted like below:
{
"myDates": [{

"date2": "25/02/2013",

"dname3": "Tuesday",
"dname4": "Wednesday",
"dname5": "Thursday",
"dname6": "Friday",
"ndate": "2013-03-02",
"pdate": "2013-02-16",
}],
"myStaff": [{
"staff0": {[
"date0": {[
[{
"SlotID": 42501,
"StaffID": 1,
"BusinessID": 1,
"SlotDate": "23/02/2013",
"SlotDay": "Saturday",
"SlotTime": "10:00"
}, {
"SlotID": 42502,
"StaffID": 1,
"BusinessID": 1,
"SlotDate": "23/02/2013",
"SlotDay": "Saturday",
"SlotTime": "10:30"
}],
"date1": {[
"SlotID": 47001,
"StaffID": 1,
"BusinessID": 1,
"SlotDate": "24/02/2013",
"SlotDay": "Sunday",
"SlotTime": "10:00"
}, {
"SlotID": 47002,

"BusinessID": 1,
"SlotDate": "24/02/2013",
"SlotDay": "Sunday",
"SlotTime": "10:30"
}]
]}
}]
}]
}
This is my controller:
public ActionResult Index(DateTime start, string id = null)
{
var allids = Request.QueryString["id"];
// split the input into anonymous objects containing staffid and businessid
var staffids = from staffid in allids.Split(',').Select(x => x.Split('-'))
select new { sid = int.Parse(staffid[0]), bid = int.Parse(staffid[1]) };
// get the days you need
var days = Enumerable.Range(0, 7).Select(x => start.AddDays(x));
// create myDates
int i = 0;
var myDates = (from day in days
select new KeyValuePair<string, string>(
String.Format("date{0}", i++),
day.ToShortDateString())).ToList();
i = 0;
myDates.AddRange(
(from day in days
select new KeyValuePair<string, string>(
String.Format("dname{0}", i++),
day.DayOfWeek.ToString())).ToList());
myDates.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("ndate", days.First().AddDays(7).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")));
myDates.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("pdate", days.First().AddDays(-7).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")));
// receive all the stored_procedures
i = 0;
var myStaff = from staff in staffids
select new KeyValuePair<string, object>(
String.Format("staff{0}", i++),
(from day in days
select db.Database.SqlQuery<GetAvailableAppointments>("EXEC SP_GetAvailableAppointments @StaffID, @BusinessID, @StartDate",
new SqlParameter("StaffID", staff.sid),
new SqlParameter("BusinessID", staff.bid),
new SqlParameter("StartDate", day))).ToList()
);
return Json(new { myDates, myStaff }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Any help would be appreciated :)
maybe you also want to use mvc routing for this, add a new route (having a ScheduleController)
//Added UrlParameter.Optional so you can set Default values
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Schedule",
url: "Schedule/Get/{start}/{id}",
defaults: new {
controller = "Schedule",
action = "index",
start = UrlParameter.Optional,
id = UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
That way you can just call the action method with a url like
http://mydomain.com/Bookings/Get/2013-2-23/1-3,2-5
If the controller-action index has the signature
public ActionResult Index(DateTime? start, string id = "")
MVCs model binding will then bind the params from the url automatically to the signatures variables.
Create a model in your models Folder "MyJsonModels.cs" and fill it with life...
public class Mydate
{
public string ndate { get; set; }
public MyDateNDay[] dates { get; set; }
public string pdate { get; set; }
}
public class MyDateNDay {
public string date {get; set;}
public string day { get; set; }
}
public class Mystaff
{
public Staff[] staff { get; set; }
}
public class Staff
{
public int StaffID { get; set; }
public int BusinessID { get; set; }
public SlotDate[] SlotDates {get; set; }
}
public class SlotDate
{
public string Date { get; set; }
public string SlotDay { get; set; }
public TimeSlot[] slots { get; set; }
}
public class TimeSlot
{
public int SlotID { get; set; }
public string SlotTime { get; set; }
}
public class InputData
{
public int SlotID { get; set; }
public int StaffID { get; set; }
public int BusinessID { get; set; }
public DateTime SlotDate { get; set; }
public string SlotDay { get; set; }
public string SlotTime { get; set; }
public InputData(int sid, int stid, int bid, DateTime day, string time )
{
SlotID = sid;
StaffID = stid;
BusinessID = bid;
SlotDate = day;
SlotDay = day.DayOfWeek.ToString();
SlotTime = time;
}
}
Then inside the Index method you would have to implement the real action... (this will not create the exact result you are asking for, i merely show how you can use linq in order to simplify your code and to remove redundancy. Maybe you would use self-created objects to store the results instead of using KeyValuePairs. Again, its just a quick, but working example)
public ActionResult Index(DateTime? start, string id = "")
{
var startdate = start ?? DateTime.Today;
// split the input into anonymous objects containing staffid and businessid
var staffids = from staffid in id.Split(',').Select(x => x.Split('-'))
select new { sid = int.Parse(staffid[0]), bid = int.Parse(staffid[1]) };
// get the days you need
var days = Enumerable.Range(0, 7).Select(x => startdate.AddDays(x));
// create myDates
int i = 0;
Mydate MyDates = new Mydate() {
ndate = days.First().AddDays(7).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),
pdate = days.First().AddDays(-7).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),
dates = (
from day in days
select new MyDateNDay {
date = day.ToShortDateString(),
day = day.DayOfWeek.ToString()
}
).ToArray()
};
// example InputData - Array as it might be returned by the sql procedure
/* I added this Array to simulate a possible procedure result your DB could return,
maybe you can even add a new procedure that would return the data just as in the
following Array
*/
var input = new [] {
new InputData( 40501, 1, 1, new DateTime(2013, 02, 20), "09:00"),
new InputData( 40502, 1, 2, new DateTime(2013, 02, 20), "11:00"),
new InputData( 42501, 1, 3, new DateTime(2013, 02, 23), "10:00"),
new InputData( 42502, 1, 3, new DateTime(2013, 02, 23), "10:30"),
new InputData( 45001, 2, 3, new DateTime(2013, 02, 21), "13:00"),
new InputData( 45002, 2, 4, new DateTime(2013, 02, 22), "15:30"),
new InputData( 47001, 2, 5, new DateTime(2013, 02, 24), "10:00"),
new InputData( 47002, 2, 5, new DateTime(2013, 02, 24), "10:30"),
};
// receive all the stored_procedures
i = 0;
Mystaff MyStaff = new Mystaff()
{
staff = (from staff in staffids
select new Staff()
{
StaffID = staff.sid,
BusinessID = staff.bid,
SlotDates = (from day in days
select new SlotDate()
{
Date = day.ToShortDateString(),
SlotDay = day.DayOfWeek.ToString(),
slots = ( from result in input
where // filter Slots that fit the requirements
day == result.SlotDate
&& result.StaffID == staff.sid
&& result.BusinessID == staff.bid
select new TimeSlot()
{
SlotID = result.SlotID,
SlotTime = result.SlotTime
}
).ToArray()
}
// filter out days that don't have free slots
).Where(x => x.slots.Length > 0).ToArray()
}
).ToArray()
};
return Json(new { MyDates, MyStaff}, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
}

I agree, this is not exactly what you were asking for ... but have a look at it, it is actually what you want ... its just that i took the liberty to remove redundancy In JavaScript you can easily walk through the data to display it. Using helper-models like the above MyJsonClasses help you a lot in designing Json-Outputs the way you want.
Well i hope i haven't forgotten anything.
first, change your controller signature into the following :
public ActionResult Index(DateTime? start, string staffID)
then, add some logic to parse the staffID
into your desired result, something like this :
var ids = staffID.Split(',');
var staffIds = ids.Select(p => p.Split('-').First()).ToList();
var businessIds = ids.Select(p => p.Split('-').Last()).ToList();
after that you can do your looping based on staffIds
and businessIds
list above.
