mvc3 @html.editorfor,Html attributes for EditorFor() in ASP.NET MVC

MVC 5.1 and higher solution (will merge local HtmlAttributes and defined in the EditorTemplates):

Shared\EditorTemplates\String.cshtml:

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model, new { @class = "form-control", placeholder = ViewData.ModelMetadata.Watermark }.ToExpando().MergeHtmlAttributes(ViewData["htmlAttributes"].ToExpando()))

Extensions:

public static IDictionary MergeHtmlAttributes(this ExpandoObject source1, dynamic source2)

{

Condition.Requires(source1, "source1").IsNotNull().IsLongerThan(0);

IDictionary result = source2 == null

? new Dictionary()

: (IDictionary) source2;

var dictionary1 = (IDictionary) source1;

string[] commonKeys = result.Keys.Where(dictionary1.ContainsKey).ToArray();

foreach (var key in commonKeys)

{

result[key] = string.Format("{0} {1}", dictionary1[key], result[key]);

}

foreach (var item in dictionary1.Where(pair => !result.ContainsKey(pair.Key)))

{

result.Add(item);

}

return result;

}

public static ExpandoObject ToExpando(this object anonymousObject)

{

IDictionary anonymousDictionary = new RouteValueDictionary(anonymousObject);

IDictionary expando = new ExpandoObject();

foreach (var item in anonymousDictionary)

expando.Add(item);

return (ExpandoObject)expando;

}

public static bool HasProperty(this ExpandoObject expando, string key)

{

return ((IDictionary)expando).ContainsKey(key);

}

Usage:

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.PromotionalCode, new { htmlAttributes = new { ng_model = "roomCtrl.searchRoomModel().promoCode" }})
