Accessing IDb instance from model class

[Alberto Jesu]

Piranha version: 10.0.2
.NET 6

I have a Model class for a page in Piranha:

public class MyPage : Page<MyPage>
{

    //...

    [Region]
    public IList<String> Roles { get; set; }
}

The Roles region should contain all the names of the user roles defined in the manager.
In order to obtain this list, I should make use of the static RolesListModel.Get() method, which requires a Piranha.AspNetCore.Identity.IDb.

How do I access the IDb instance from the page model? I managed to do the same with a controller leveraging Dependency Injection, but I cannot do it with the model class.

Hi, I need more info.

Hi there! There is no constructor invocation that allows for dependency injection supported in Piranha atm, so you need to load the related data "on the side" like you did with the controller.
