Conditional filter: Only for controllers that inherit from baseController and is a post)


How to apply a global filter for all actions where the controler inherits baseController and is a post?

Attempt

Already working with Ninject.Web.MVC aka Ninject.Web.Mvc.FilterBindingSyntax

But I do not know how to apply conditional BindFilter only to post.

kernel.BindFilter<ValidateJsonAntiForgeryTokenAttribute>(System.Web.Mvc.FilterScope.Action, 0).WhenControllerType<baseController>(); ...??

This attempt did not work, because I could not add two conditions to BindFilter

Solution

  • I wanted to do something similar to this. One way to do it is to implement your multiple conditions inside of When(). The WhenControllerType() method is just a helper that calls When() and checks the controller type, so you can re-implement that in your own method and add in whatever other logic you need.

    Here is how Ninject implements WhenControllerType():

    public IFilterBindingInNamedWithOrOnSyntax<T> WhenControllerType(Type controllerType)
    {
        this.When((Func<ControllerContext, ActionDescriptor, bool>) ((controllerContext, actionDescriptor) => (actionDescriptor.ControllerDescriptor.ControllerType == controllerType)));
        return this;
    }
    

    From that, we know how to get the controller type for our constraint.

    To get a binding like you want, we could do something like this (untested):

    kernel
        .BindFilter<ValidateJsonAntiForgeryTokenAttribute>(System.Web.Mvc.FilterScope.Action, 0)
        .When((controllerContext, actionDescriptor) =>
            controllerContext.HttpContext.Request.RequestType.ToLower() == "post" &&
            typeof(baseController).IsAssignableFrom(actionDescriptor.ControllerDescriptor.ControllerType));
