ASP.NET MVC razor: conditional attribute in HTML

Question

Code below doesn\'t seems clean. Any suggestion to improve the code?

class=\         


        

Answer 1

I use a small helper method that will conditionally add an attribute if the value is non-empty, and, if defined, when a Boolean function expression evaluates to true:

public static MvcHtmlString Attr(this HtmlHelper helper, string name, string value, Func condition = null)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(name) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
    {
        return MvcHtmlString.Empty;
    }

    var render = condition != null ? condition() : true;

    return render ? 
        new MvcHtmlString(string.Format("{0}=\"{1}\"", name, HttpUtility.HtmlAttributeEncode(value))) : 
        MvcHtmlString.Empty;
}

Once defined, I can use this method in my Razor views:

 example.isNew))>
...

The above code will render
