Modern Full-Stack Development with DevStack

Modern Full-Stack Development with DevStack

🔹Why fetch + JSON Matters

Most .NET developers are laser-focused on the server. But in yearnow, a polished product demands more. That’s why DevStack isn’t just server-side—it’s full-stack.

Why does that matter?

Because your users expect responsive UI, dynamic feedback, and a frictionless experience—and that takes modern JavaScript integrated with your backend.

✅ Real-World Example: Using fetch with JSON in Razor Pages

Here’s a real scenario from DevStack’s built-in rich text editor. The user types Markdown-style markup, and a live preview is generated without refreshing the page.

fetch('/User/PreviewHtml', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ text: source })
});

This sends the plain text to the server as JSON. Clean, fast, and fully modern.

Why this approach?

  • Promise-based: fetch is cleaner and more readable than XMLHttpRequest.
  • No clunky forms: You don’t need <form> elements or query strings.
  • API-ready: Makes your endpoints behave like true REST-style APIs.
  • Works out of the box in DevStack—no setup required.

On the server, DevStack handles it like this:

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult PreviewHtml([FromBody] PreviewRequest request)
{
    var html = Text2Html.Convert(request.Text);
    return Content(html, "text/html");
}

That Text2Html utility is also part of DevStack—already optimized and production-tested.

🚀 What’s Included on the Front End?

DevStack is loaded with real-world JS components you’d otherwise have to wire up yourself:

  • Modular fetch/AJAX patterns
  • Bootstrap 4/5 helpers
  • Turnstile CAPTCHA
  • Responsive nav and accordion widgets
  • Built-in JSON previewers, sliders, modals, tooltips
  • Theme-aware CSS transitions & animations
  • Rich text editors with Markdown + live preview
  • Accessible forms with client-side validation

No need to bolt on jQuery spaghetti or reinvent the wheel.

🔧 Full-Stack Means:

  • Your Razor code talks to modern JavaScript—elegantly.
  • You can write interactive interfaces without switching stacks.
  • You don’t need to “go SPA” just to feel modern.
  • The frontend is already tuned to your backend logic.

🔹 Why This Matters for You

Most devs waste hours cobbling together JS plugins and backend logic that should already exist.

I’ve already done that work for you.
