Can I reload an asp 5/MVC 6 View Component via ajax?
All you need to do is set up a route in a controller that returns the view component. For example:
public class MyController : Controller { public IActionResult GetMyViewComponent() { return ViewComponent("MyViewComponent", <arguments...>); }}You can then make a GET request to this controller via AJAX, and replace the old view component with the result of the request.
As for whether you should use a partial or view component, it is up to you, but I would recommend sticking with a view component because it allows you to keep the relevant logic for the search bar within the component itself.
