User tracking with ASP.NET MVC 3 and razor views

问题:

What's the best way to implement user tracking throughout your web site when using Razor views in ASP.NET MVC 3.

In webforms I'd put some code in the masterpage to use a cookie and log each url on my site that a person visits in a database, but I'm not sure where to implement this code in ASP.NET MVC.

回答1:

I guess the best way to do this is to create a Global Action Filter, and track visits there.

Create an action filter attribute:

public class UserTrackingActionFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnResultExecuting(ResultExecutingContext context)
    {
        base.OnResultExecuting(context);

        //save url, userId from session, etc...
    }
}

Register it as a global filter in global asax:

protected void Application_Start()
{      
    // Register global filter
    GlobalFilters.Filters.Add(new UserTrackingActionFilterAttribute());

    RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
}

That's all. Nice?

I wouldn't do any of it with Razor views.

You will want to build an ActionFilter and attach it as a GlobalFilter. Let it do all the work for you.
