Is is possible to have a partial view inherit more than one model? I have three models (Contacts, Clients, Vendors) that all have address information (Address). In the interest of being DRY I pulled the address info into it’s own model, Addresses. I created a partial create / update view of addresses and what to render this in other other three model’s create / update views.
Rather than using a composite view model, you can still be DRY and have three views (Contacts, Clients, Vendors). If you are concerned about repeating yourself when displaying the address information just make a display template for the type. That way you can write out all the specific information for each Contact, Client, and Vendor in their own views and just drop in:
Now you are being DRY while still supporting the Single Responsibility Principle.
