MVC Model with a list of objects as property

MVC Model with a list of objects as property

In MVC, a model can have a list of objects as a property. This is useful when you want to display a collection of related items in a view, such as a list of products or a list of messages.

To define a model with a list of objects as a property, you can create a class that represents the individual items in the list and then create another class that represents the collection of items. For example, let's say you want to display a list of products in a view. You could create a Product class that represents an individual product and a ProductList class that represents the collection of products:

public class Product { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public decimal Price { get; set; } } public class ProductList { public List<Product> Products { get; set; } }

In this example, the Product class has three properties (Id, Name, and Price) that represent the individual products, and the ProductList class has a single property (Products) that is a list of Product objects.

To use the ProductList class in a view, you can create an instance of the class in the controller and pass it to the view as the model:

public class ProductController : Controller { public IActionResult Index() { var productList = new ProductList { Products = new List<Product> { new Product { Id = 1, Name = "Product 1", Price = 10.00m }, new Product { Id = 2, Name = "Product 2", Price = 20.00m }, new Product { Id = 3, Name = "Product 3", Price = 30.00m } } }; return View(productList); } }

In the view, you can use the foreach loop to iterate over the list of products and display them:

@model ProductList @foreach (var product in Model.Products) { <div> <h2>@product.Name</h2> <p>@product.Price</p> </div> }

This will generate HTML that displays the list of products.

    Description: Explore how to bind a list of objects in an MVC model. This involves proper naming conventions in your HTML form. Example:

    public class Order { public List<OrderItem> OrderItems { get; set; } } public class OrderItem { public int ProductId { get; set; } public int Quantity { get; set; } }
