I am trying to apply some custom templating to a razor view. It is a bit special so here is an example.
Lets say out model contains a Person object with Firstname and Lastname.
The template would look like this witch I would write in the cshtml file
<div data-template-id="testTemplate" data-template-model="@Model.Person">
<span>{{Firstname}}</span>
<span>{{Lastname}}</span>
</div>
I would then make a HtmlHelper method that populates the template with data from Model.Person
So har I have got the access to the data but I am no sure how to access the view and get the template.
public static MvcHtmlString Test<TModel, TValue>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> html, Expression<Func<TModel, TValue>> expression){
var model = html.ViewData.Model;
string propName = "";
if (expression.Body is MemberExpression)
propName = ((MemberExpression)expression.Body).Member.Name;
var value = model.GetType().GetProperty(propName).GetValue(model, null);
// TODO: get template and insert data from model
return new MvcHtmlString($"<div>{value}</div>");
}
I know it is a bit strange why I would do this. But the short answer is that in some conditions I need to return some completly different html, based on some internal conditions. In which case I would just remove the template completely.
I found a solution to this problem me self. I ended up passing in a @helper method as template. Like this
public static MvcHtmlString Test<TModel, TValue>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> html, Expression<Func<TModel, TValue>> expression)
{
var someCondition = false;
if (someCondition)
{
// Return some domain specific html.
return new MvcHtmlString("<div></div>");
}
else
{
var result = expression.Compile();
TModel model = html.ViewData.Model;
var value = result(model);
var r = new MvcHtmlString(value.ToString());
return r;
}
}
I would then use it like this:
@Html.Test(p => ImageTemplate(p.Avater))
@helper ImageTemplate(Picture avater)
{
<h1 style="color: red">@avater.Title</h1>
<h5>@avater.Url</h5>
}
This method provides code formatting, intellisense, reusability and of course, the ability to override the hole thing.
