HttpRequest Extensions

[wangkanai]

Adding extensible to existing usage scenario is a key design. So I would like to propose a concept of extending the HttpRequest for developer to access the Browser, Device, Platform, Engine directly. This extension then retrieve the instance from the BrowserService.

var browser = HttpContext.Request.Browser();
var platform = HttpContext.Request.Platform();
var device = HttpContext.Request.Device();
var engine = HttpContext.Request.Engine();

I would like to hear the community regarding this concept.

I have found a for this to work now.

The usage has got simpler than what is expected.

var browser = Request.Browser();
var platform = Request.Platform();
var device = Request.Device();
var engine = Request.Engine();

Example of usage

public IActionResult Index()
{
    ViewData["Device"] = Request.Device().Type;
    return View(_resolver);
}
