MenuExtensions¶
Emits the Business Online navigation menu markup — favorites list, all-applications category grouping, and a client-side-consumed top menu — from a MenuViewModel/WebContextViewModel pair, including a legacy "old school" rendering path for older layouts.
Purpose¶
- Emits the Business Online navigation menu markup — favorites list, all-applications category grouping, and a client-side-consumed top menu — from a
MenuViewModel/WebContextViewModelpair, including a legacy "old school" rendering path for older layouts.
Context¶
- Namespace:
SAIF.Web.Mvc - Assembly/package:
SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc (source-shipping NuGet package) - Kind: static class
Public members¶
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| RenderMenu(HtmlHelper, MenuViewModel, WebContextViewModel) | public static void RenderMenu(this HtmlHelper helper, MenuViewModel menu, WebContextViewModel webContext) |
Writes the favorites list and full category-grouped menu to the view writer; see the "Render the Business Online menu" operation. |
| RenderTopMenu(HtmlHelper, MenuViewModel, WebContextViewModel) | public static void RenderTopMenu(this HtmlHelper helper, MenuViewModel menu, WebContextViewModel webContext) |
Writes only the items belonging to the menu's current category. |
| FavoriteLink(MenuItemViewModel) | private static string FavoriteLink(MenuItemViewModel item) |
Builds a single favorite <a> element, falling back to PageName when FavoriteName is blank. |
| MenuLink(MenuItemViewModel) | private static string MenuLink(MenuItemViewModel item) |
Builds a single category-menu <a> element. |
| RenderOldSchoolMenu(HtmlHelper, MenuViewModel, WebContextViewModel) | public static MvcHtmlString RenderOldSchoolMenu(this HtmlHelper helper, MenuViewModel menu, WebContextViewModel webContext) |
Legacy variant of RenderMenu returning markup instead of writing it, using MenuLink for favorites rather than FavoriteLink. |
| RenderOldSchoolTopMenu(HtmlHelper, MenuViewModel, WebContextViewModel) | public static MvcHtmlString RenderOldSchoolTopMenu(this HtmlHelper helper, MenuViewModel menu, WebContextViewModel webContext) |
Legacy variant of RenderTopMenu returning markup instead of writing it. |
Behavioral notes¶
- The legacy
RenderOldSchool*helpers render favorites throughMenuLink, so favorite names and category tooltips are not applied on that path.
Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
