How to get Role.Name in Razor View?


I am using @model IEnumerable<WebApplication.Models.ApplicationUser>

View

@foreach (var user in Model)
{
    <tr>
        <td>
            @foreach(var role in user.Roles){
                role.Name; //invalid
                role.RoleId; //valid
                role.UserId; //valid
            }
        </td>
    </tr>
}

Model

public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
    [Required]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager)
    {
        // Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
        var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
        // Add custom user claims here
        return userIdentity;
    }
}

I can get RoleID and UserId from this role but how can I get Role.Name?

IdentityUser [from metadata]

Solution

  • As an extension of Charlie's answer, one way you can do this is by getting a Roles collection and passing it in your view model.

    @foreach (var user in Model)
    {
        <tr>
            <td>
                @foreach(var role in user.Roles){
                    Model.Roles.First(x=>x.RoleID == role.RoleID).Name;
                    role.RoleId; //valid
                    role.UserId; //valid
                }
            </td>
        </tr>
    }
