Reference Action in another module

[mikecasas]

I am trying to use ActionLink, and you typically use it like
<ActionLink Action="Edit" Parameters="@($"id=" + context.TicketId.ToString())" />

Where the Edit action typically corresponds to a Edit.razor file in the current folder.

I am using a multiple module design(Cats and Dogs modules in one solution), so is there a way to reference the action of another module? If I am in the Cats Index.razor file, can I link to the Edit.razor of the Dogs module?

is ActionLink a built-in component?

@mikecasas there are already a bunch of additional overloads in ModuleBase:

    public string EditUrl(string action)
    {
        return EditUrl(ModuleState.ModuleId, action);
    }

    public string EditUrl(string action, string parameters)
    {
        return EditUrl(ModuleState.ModuleId, action, parameters);
    }

    public string EditUrl(int moduleId, string action)
    {
        return EditUrl(moduleId, action, "");
    }

    public string EditUrl(int moduleId, string action, string parameters)
    {
        return EditUrl(PageState.Page.Path, moduleId, action, parameters);
    }

    public string EditUrl(string path, int moduleid, string action, string parameters)
    {
        return Utilities.EditUrl(PageState.Alias.Path, path, moduleid, action, parameters);
    }

Yes, we could add another optional parameter to ActionLink to allow a developer to specify the ModuleId. However the IsAuthorized method would also need to be refactored as it relies on ModuleState

[mikecasas]

I see that, but how can I use it without changing the ActionLink in the framework? Do I need to create my own ActionLink and then use one of the other ModuleBase overloads?

[mikecasas]

@sbwalker Would you want that in the framework if I do the refactoring?

[sbwalker]

@mikecasas yes, it should be in the framework - feel free to submit as a PR.
