# ViewData
## 1. Purpose
This module defines foundational interfaces for a view-layer architecture in the DTS.CommonCore library, specifically for implementing the *View Data* pattern (likely part of a broader MVVM or similar separation of concerns). The `IViewDataView` and `IViewDataViewModel` interfaces serve as marker interfaces that extend base view and view model contracts (`IBaseView`, `IBaseViewModel`), enabling type-safe binding and dependency injection of view-related components while preserving abstraction and decoupling between UI presentation and business logic layers.
## 2. Public Interface
No public *functions*, *properties*, or *methods* are defined directly in these interfaces. They are empty (marker) interfaces. Their sole purpose is to establish type identity and inheritance relationships.
- `interface IViewDataView : IBaseView`
A marker interface for views that expose or consume *view data* (e.g., data-bound UI elements). It inherits from `IBaseView`, implying it adheres to the base view contract (e.g., lifecycle, initialization, or rendering semantics defined elsewhere).
- `interface IViewDataViewModel : IBaseViewModel`
A marker interface for view models that provide *view data* (e.g., state, commands, or data structures consumed by `IViewDataView`). It inherits from `IBaseViewModel`, implying it conforms to the base view model contract (e.g., data binding support, state management, or notification patterns defined elsewhere).
## 3. Invariants
- `IViewDataView` must be implemented by types that also satisfy `IBaseView`.
- `IViewDataViewModel` must be implemented by types that also satisfy `IBaseViewModel`.
- No additional behavioral invariants are specified beyond inheritance; the interfaces themselves impose no runtime constraints.
## 4. Dependencies
- **Depends on**:
- `DTS.Common.Base.IBaseView` (via `IViewDataView`)
- `DTS.Common.Base.IBaseViewModel` (via `IViewDataViewModel`)
- `DTS.Common.Base` namespace (implicit dependency on the `DTS.Common.Base` assembly/module)
- **Depended on by**:
- Not determinable from source alone. Likely used elsewhere in the codebase (e.g., in DI registrations, view/view model factories, or binding infrastructure) to constrain generic parameters (e.g., `TView : IViewDataView`, `TViewModel : IViewDataViewModel`) or enforce architectural rules.
## 5. Gotchas
- **Ambiguity of purpose**: The term *“View Data”* is not defined in the source. Its semantic distinction from other view/view model types (e.g., `IBaseView` vs. `IViewDataView`) is unclear without additional context (e.g., documentation or usage examples).
- **No API surface**: Since these are marker interfaces, developers may mistakenly expect methods/properties—ensure they are used only for type checking (`is`, `as`, generic constraints) or DI registration, not behavior invocation.
- **Potential naming overlap**: If other modules define similarly named interfaces (e.g., `IViewData`), confusion may arise; verify naming consistency across the codebase.
- **No versioning or deprecation hints**: No attributes (e.g., `[Obsolete]`) or version comments are present; assume stability but verify usage in consuming code for compatibility.
- **None identified from source alone.**
