Implementing a View Engine

thecodejunkie edited this page Jun 16, 2011 · 6 revisions

This page will contain implementation advice for view engines

  • Name the engine xxxViewEngine, where xxx is the name of the parser, such as Razor, Spark and so on
  • The only public methods on a view engine should be those of the IViewEngine interface
  • View engines are singletons, do not store state in them
  • If you add dependencies to your engine, add a default ctor with default configuration
  • Make use of the view cache on the render context that is passed into the IViewEngine.RenderView method - but make sure that the item you cache does not contain state that could end up being reused between multiple requests.
