Sure, here are the steps on how to create a card in MVC and bind data with API calling client side:

  1. Create a new MVC project in Visual Studio.
  2. Add a new controller called CardController.
  3. Add a new action method called GetCards. This action method will be responsible for fetching the data from the API.
  4. In the GetCards action method, create a new HttpClient object.
  5. Use the HttpClient object to call the API endpoint.
  6. Deserialize the response from the API into a list of cards.
  7. Return the list of cards from the action method.
  8. Create a new view called CardsView.
  9. In the CardsView view, create a loop to iterate through the list of cards.
  10. For each card, create a card element.
  11. Bind the data from the card to the card element.
  12. Render the card element.

Here is an example of the code for the GetCards action method:

C#

public async Task<IEnumerable<Card>> GetCards()
{
    var httpClient = new HttpClient();
    var response = await httpClient.GetAsync("https://api.example.com/cards");

    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        var cards = await response.Content.ReadAsJsonAsync<IEnumerable<Card>>();
        return cards;
    }

    return null;
}

Here is an example of the code for the CardsView view:

HTML

<h1>Cards</h1>

<ul>
    @foreach (var card in Model)
    {
        <li>
            <h2>@card.Name</h2>
            <p>@card.Description</p>
        </li>
    }
</ul>
