Calling a register method from 2 or more controllers best practice
- by PussInBoots
I don't want to repeat myself. That is, I don't want the same code in two different controllers.
I always start from a default mvc5 web app project. That project has a Register ActionMethod in an AccountController:
//
// GET: /Account/Register
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Register()
{
return View();
}
//
// POST: /Account/Register
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.UserName };
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
await SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
else
{
AddErrors(result);
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
Say I have a CampaignController and I want to register a user when he/she is on that page, fills out his/her username and pass and clicks the send form/submit button. What is the best thing to do in the ActionMethod of that form/controller?
Yes, I want to have the registerform in two or more places.
What is the best way to accomplish this in mvc 5?
