Question

I have a master page that relies on a specific model coming from my pages. So the ending code for basically every ViewResult ends up something like this

public ActionResult Details(long store_id)
{
    var store = getStore();

    var model = new ClientModel<StoreModel>(store)
        {
            UserNotifications = new UserNotificationModel(this.CurrentUser)
        };

    return View(model);
}

Each one of my controllers derives from a BaseController, so i was looking to put this redundant code there, but I’m not really sure the best approach to take.

The structure for my generic ClientModel is this…

public class ClientModel<T> : ClientModel {}

public class ClientModel {}

Clarification
The StoreModel is generic and a lot of other actions use a different view model. I just wanted to show based on how it looks when impelmented.

Answer 1

protected ViewResult ClientModelView<T>(T model)
{
    var clientModel = new ClientModel<T>(model)
        {
            UserNotifications = new UserNotificationModel(CurrentUser)
        };

    return this.View(clientModel);
}
