Map model class to render view parameters with Glass.View v4?

Question

I have a project with Glass.Mapper v4 and i have a simple model class like this:

    public class Separator
    {
        public virtual string Title { get; set; }
        public virtual string CssColorClass { get; set; }
    }

And a razor view like this:

@model ConexioFC.Models.Separator

This is the separator
<h2 class="@Model.CssColorClass">@Model.Title</h2>

From Sitecore i have this templates:

Then i have a View Rendering like this: This view rendering has a parameters template pointing to the template previously shown.

Then i have on the control properties of the page:

The problem is that when i go to the page preview the Model.CssColorClass and Model.Title are blank.

Answer 1

First of all is not recommended to put content like Title in the rendering paramenters.

@inherits Glass.Mapper.Sc.Web.Mvc.GlassView<ConexioFC.Models.Separator>

var parameters = GetRenderingParameters<ConexioFC.Models.RenderingParameters.Separator>();}

and you can to access parameters using @parameters.PropertyName

Answer 2

That's because your rendering parameters aren't your viewmodel, the page item/datasource item is.

You can however get it as a viewmodel if you want, have a look at this blog post: https://visionsincode.wordpress.com/2016/08/26/map-your-rendering-parameters-to-your-glass-mapper-viewmodels-in-sitecore/

Or the default way of working with rendering parameters: http://www.glass.lu/mapper/sc/tutorials/tutorial23

@inherits Glass.Mapper.Sc.Web.Mvc.GlassView<ConexioFC.Models.Separator>

@{ var parameters = GetRenderingParameters<ConexioFC.Models.RenderingParameters.Separator>();}
