Strong type App Settings and Resources

Current Behavior / Expected Behavior

We have strong typing for data through copilot, but not for app settings and resources.

Please implement :)

Actually this already exists ;)

If you auto-generate the base classes (in the co-pilot of the views) the resulting AppCode.Razor.AppRazor have typed App.Settings and App.Resources.

It looks a bit like this

namespace AppCode.Razor
{
  /// <summary>
  /// Base Class for Razor Views which have a typed App but don't use the Model or use the typed MyModel.
  /// </summary>
  public abstract partial class AppRazor: AppRazor<object>
  {
  }

  /// <summary>
  /// Base Class for Razor Views which have a typed App and a typed Model
  /// </summary>
  public abstract partial class AppRazor<TModel>: Custom.Hybrid.RazorTyped<TModel>
  {

    /// <summary>
    /// Typed App with typed Settings & Resources
    /// </summary>
    public new IAppTyped<AppSettings, AppResources> App => _app ??= Customize.App<AppSettings, AppResources>();
    private IAppTyped<AppSettings, AppResources> _app;
  }
}

To use this, simply inherit from that class.

Enjoy ;)

Sorry.

Can you provide a clear example on the lines of code needed? For inherit and values.

Sure. Check out some examples on the Blog app. This search will get you a few files that then use App.Razor.Xyz
