Add namespace to all views in ASP.NET MVC 6

Question

I’m using MVC 6 and would like to be able to access a particular namespace globally from all of my Razor views. In MVC 5 this was fairly simple; I’d just add the following code

Answer 1

Add your namespaces to the_ViewImports.cshtml file (it's under the Views folder).

Example file:

@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity
@using Jifiti.Registry.Web.Models.AccountViewModels
@using Jifiti.Registry.Web.Models.ManageViewModels

@addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
