I'm looking for an elegant pattern to solve this problem:
I have several user roles in my system, and for many of my controller actions, I need to deal with slightly different data.
For example, take
/Users/Edit/1
This allows a Moderator
to edit a user
s email address, but Administrator
s to edit a user's email address and password.
I'd like a design for separating the two different bits of action code for the GET
and the POST
.
Solutions I've come up with so far are:
- Switch inside each method, however this doesn't really help when i want different model arguments on the POST :(
- Custom controller factory which chooses a
UsersController_ForModerators
andUsersController_ForAdmins
instead of justUsersController
from the controller name and current user role - Custom action invoker which choose the
Edit_ForModerators
method in a similar way to above - Have an IUsersController and register a different implementation of it in my IoC container as a named instance based on Role
- Build an implementation of the controller at runtime using Castle DynamicProxy and manipulate the methods to those from role-based implementations
Im preferring the named IoC instance route atm as it means all my urls/routing will work seamlessly.
Ideas? Suggestions?
