MVC Libraries Documentation

Please see the inline documentation of each extension methods learn more.

Controller extensions

Adds extension methods to Controller objects like .RedirectToLocal(redirectUrl).

Attributes for controllers

  • DevelopmentOnlyAttribute: Enforces the Development environment on controllers.
  • DevelopmentAndLocalhostOnlyAttribute: Enforces the Development environment as well as localhost.

Controller Helpers

  • ActionResultHelpers: For returning common specialized IActionResults, such as ZipFile.

Filter extensions

Use ResultExecutingContextExtensions to get some shortcuts to usual context operations in IAsyncResultFilters.

Other extensions

  • UrlHelperExtensions: Adds extension methods to the @Url helper, such as EditContentItemWithTab.
  • ShapeResultExtensions: Adds extensions methods generating placement strings on your shape description, such as UseTab.

TypedRoute

This class provides a strongly typed way to generate local URLs for Orchard Core MVC actions. It uses lambda expressions to select the action and provide arguments. Use TypedRoute.CreateFromExpression<TClass>(...).ToString() or the provided OrchardHelper.Action() and HttpContext.Action() extensions.

Check out the Lombiq.HelpfulLibraries.Samples project for examples and a video demo here.

If you also use our UI Testing Toolbox, you can use the UITestContext.GoTo() extension method from there, as well.

WidgetFilterBase<T>

A base class for creating filters that insert a content as widget in a specified zone with permission check.
