I want to keep all of my JavaScript code in one section; just before the closing body
tag in my master layout page and just wondering the best to go about it, MVC style.
For example, if I create a DisplayTemplate\DateTime.cshtml
file which uses jQuery UI's DateTime Picker than I would embed the JavaScript directly into that template but then it will render mid-page.
In my normal views I can just use @section JavaScript { //js here }
and then @RenderSection("JavaScript", false)
in my master layout but this doesn't seem to work in display/editor templates - any ideas?
You could proceed with a conjunction of two helpers:
public static class HtmlExtensions { public static MvcHtmlString Script(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, Func<object, HelperResult> template) { htmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items["_script_" + Guid.NewGuid()] = template; return MvcHtmlString.Empty; } public static IHtmlString RenderScripts(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper) { foreach (object key in htmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items.Keys) { if (key.ToString().StartsWith("_script_")) { var template = htmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext.Items[key] as Func<object, HelperResult>; if (template != null) { htmlHelper.ViewContext.Writer.Write(template(null)); } } } return MvcHtmlString.Empty; } }
and then in your _Layout.cshtml
:
<body> ... @Html.RenderScripts() </body>
and somewhere in some template:
@Html.Script( @<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script> )
