I am developing web site in angular js, .net web api 2, visual studio 2013, and c#.
My url navigation is purely driven by angularjs.
Upon password reset, I email a link to the user that looks like this:
User receives the email and clicks on the link..
On the server side, following code is executed:
//
// GET: /Account/ResetPasswordEmail
// GET api/Account/ResetPasswordEmail
[Route("ResetPasswordEmail", Name = "ResetPasswordEmail")]
[AllowAnonymous]
public HttpResponseMessage GetResetPasswordEmail(string userId, string code, string newPassword)
{
string errmsg = string.Empty;
try
{
if (userId == null || code == null)
{
errmsg = "Either email address or other necessary parameter is null.";
throw new Exception(errmsg);
}
var result = UserManager.ResetPasswordAsync(userId, code, newPassword);
var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Moved);
string fullyQualifiedUrl = Request.RequestUri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);
response.Headers.Location = new Uri(fullyQualifiedUrl);
return response;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
}
The password is reset successfully... However ... I want to give visual feedback on the web page that password was or was not reset successfully. In other words, in this situation how would my web api talk back to the angular js code to render a UI. Would I resort to some sort of asp.net mvc type of code?
