    Access ModelsBuilder properties in a view using a PublishedContentWrapped

    Hi, I have a hijacking controller similarly to documented here: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/routing/custom-controllers

    Aside: I am using PublishedContentWrapped because the additional properties I'm adding to the viewModel should only have request scope, but if I extend the models builder object directly then that object has a longer scope and could be accessed by another user.

    The documentation says I can access modelsBuilder properties like so:

    // or using Modelsbuilder
    @Model.ProductDescription
    

    However ProductDescription is not a property on public class MyProductViewModel : PublishedContentWrapped

    My current workaround is to add a property to MyProductViewModel like so:

    public ProductPage Page => (ProductPage)this.Unwrap() ;

    Then in my view do this:

    // or using Modelsbuilder
    @Model.Page.ProductDescription
    

    Is the documentation incorrect? or am I misreading it?

    do you have this at the top of your view?

    @inherits Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Views.UmbracoViewPage<MyProductViewModel>
    

    you can always access the values from your page node using the value method

    Model.Value<int>("intPageSize")

    To be able to use Modelsbuilder then your custom view should inherit from your Modelsbuilder Page model and not from publishcontentwrapped

    public class MyProductViewModel : MyUmbracoPage
    {
        ....
    }

    Hi Huw,
    TLDR: I was misreading the docs, use PublishedContentWrapped if you're NOT using models builder.

    DETAIL: I should have Inherited from the models builder object, and created my inherited object on each request from within my controller using the constructor like so:

    var viewModel = new MyProductViewModel(CurrentPage, new 
    PublishedValueFallback(_serviceContext, _variationContextAccessor))
        {
            CustomerInfo = GetCustomerInfo()
        };
    

    I was confused as to when would one use PublishedContentWrapped but after re-reading the docs, I think that is intended to be used if you're NOT using models builder.
