Make BlockController Index method async

Hi,

I need the Index method of my blockcontroller to be async but since the base class already has a Index method that is sync this seems impossible. Anyone an idea how to fix this?

The end result I'm looking for will be something like this:

public class MyAsyncBlockController : BlockController
    {
        public async Task Index(MyAsyncBlock currentBlock)
        {
            // async code
        }
    }

Not 100% but I think you need to wait for future Epi versions to be able to do that.

Hi Jesper,

Nope, I guess we have to (a)wait ;)

I solved this issue by creating a new base controller to be used instead of BlockController:

public abstract class AsyncBlockController<TContentData> : ActionControllerBase, IRenderTemplate<TContentData>
    where TContentData : IContentData
{
    public abstract Task<ActionResult> Index(TContentData currentContent);
}
