  1. POHow do I reuse NonAction methods between controllers
    text
    copied!<p>Lets say I have a controller class like this.</p> <pre><code>public class InStorePickupController : Controller { private readonly IToppingService _toppingService; public InStorePickupController(IToppingService toppingService) { this._toppingService = toppingService; } public ActionResult GetPizza() { var pizzaModel = new PizzaModel(); pizzaModel = MakePizza(pizzaModel); return View(pizzaModel); } [NonAction] public PizzaModel MakePizza(PizzaModel pm) { var toppings = _toppingService.GetAllToppings(); //roll out dough //put toppings on pizza //bake pizza return pm; } } </code></pre> <p>But I also have another controller class where I want to use the same 'Make Pizza' non action.</p> <pre><code>public class DeliveryController : Controller { private readonly IToppingService _toppingService; public DeliveryController(IToppingService toppingService) { this._toppingService = toppingService; } public ActionResult GetPizza() { var pizzaModel = new PizzaModel(); pizzaModel = MakePizza(pizzaModel); return View(pizzaModel); } } </code></pre> <p>This is a simple example but it matches my real situation very closely. The only difference is that:</p> <ol> <li>I have several non action methods and they are fairly involved (lots of calculations).</li> <li>I have quite a few controllers that need access to these non actions. This isn't controller creep so consolidating them won't work.</li> <li>Each controller has quite a few necessary services in the constructor.</li> </ol> <p>I could have each controller inherit from a base controller class but I keep getting complaints about a parameter-less constructor.</p> <p>What about static classes? </p> <p>I just need a little guidance. Thanks.</p>
