I want to build a SPA module. I used Chris Hammond's "DNN (DotNetNuke) 8/9 C# DAL2 SPA Module" template in Visual Studio 2017. I have a local instance of DNN 9 setup.

I created a new project in the DesktopModules folder called ProductModule. In the services folder, I created a new controller called ProductsController.cs:

using System.Web.Http;

using ProductsProductModule.Components;

using ProductsProductModule.Services.ViewModels;

using DotNetNuke.Common;

using DotNetNuke.Web.Api;

using DotNetNuke.Security;

using System.Threading;

using DotNetNuke.UI.Modules;

using DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

namespace ProductsProductModule.Services

{

[SupportedModules("ProductModule")]

//[DnnModuleAuthorize(AccessLevel = SecurityAccessLevel.View)]

[AllowAnonymous]

public class ProductsController : DnnApiController

{

Product[] products = new Product[]

{

new Product { Id = 1, Name = "Tomato Soup", Category = "Groceries", Price = 1 },

new Product { Id = 2, Name = "Yo-yo", Category = "Toys", Price = 3.75M },

new Product { Id = 3, Name = "Hammer", Category = "Hardware", Price = 16.99M }

};

[AllowAnonymous]

[HttpGet]

public IEnumerable GetAllProducts()

{

return products;

}

}

public class Product

{

public int Id { get; set; }

public string Name { get; set; }

public string Category { get; set; }

public decimal Price { get; set; }

}

}

I modified the View.html file like this:

[JavaScript:{ jsname: "JQuery" }]

[JavaScript:{ jsname: "Knockout" }]

[JavaScript:{ path: "~/Resources/Shared/scripts/dnn.jquery.js"}]

Test Web Api

I compiled the module and installed the extension in my local DNN instance. When I go to dnndev.me/DesktopModules/ProductModule/Api/Products/GetProducts, I get an error message:

Authorization has been denied for this request.

Adding the module to the page shows:

Test Web Api

Unauthorized

What am I missing? Are there headers I need to include when sending the request? Doesn't seem to be enough documentation on how to use the authentication and authorization components.

Thank you for any help you can provide.
