Documentation: ViewData Interfaces

1. Purpose

This module defines two marker interfaces, IViewDataView and IViewDataViewModel, within the DTS.Common.Interface namespace. It exists to establish a specific contract for "ViewData" components within the system, deriving from base architectural components (IBaseView and IBaseViewModel). This allows for type discrimination of specific views and view models without enforcing additional members beyond those defined in the base interfaces.

2. Public Interface

IViewDataView

• Signature: public interface IViewDataView : IBaseView
• Namespace: DTS.Common.Interface
• Description: An empty interface that extends IBaseView. It acts as a marker for view components associated with ViewData logic. It defines no additional methods or properties of its own.

IViewDataViewModel

• Signature: public interface IViewDataViewModel : IBaseViewModel
• Namespace: DTS.Common.Interface
• Description: An empty interface that extends IBaseViewModel. It acts as a marker for view model components associated with ViewData logic. It defines no additional methods or properties of its own.

3. Invariants

• Inheritance Hierarchy: Any class implementing IViewDataView must also implement IBaseView (defined in DTS.Common.Base).
• Inheritance Hierarchy: Any class implementing IViewDataViewModel must also implement IBaseViewModel (defined in DTS.Common.Base).
• Member Contract: Since both interfaces are empty (contain no members), the behavioral contract is entirely defined by the base interfaces they inherit from.

4. Dependencies

• Internal Dependencies:
  • DTS.Common.Base: Both source files import this namespace to access IBaseView and IBaseViewModel.
• Consumers: Unknown from source alone. It is expected that concrete View and ViewModel classes within the codebase will implement these interfaces to participate in ViewData-specific workflows.

5. Gotchas

• Marker Interfaces: Both IViewDataView and IViewDataViewModel are marker interfaces; they define no members. Developers implementing these interfaces should refer to IBaseView and IBaseViewModel to satisfy the actual structural requirements.
• Missing Context: The specific functionality that distinguishes a "ViewData" view/viewmodel from a standard one is not defined in these files. The distinction is purely nominal/type-based at this level.
