Override HomepageProducts ViewComponent

Is it possible to override the HomepageProducts viewComponent

Yes, It is possible to override to component view.

Use IViewLocationExpander for override view.

public class ViewLocationExpander : IViewLocationExpander
{
  public IEnumerable<string> ExpandViewLocations(ViewLocationExpanderContext context, IEnumerable<string> viewLocations)
  {
    if (context.AreaName == null && context.ViewName == "Components/HomepageProducts/Default"){
      viewLocations = new string[] {"your view path"}.Concat(viewLocations);
    }
return viewLocations;
  }  

public void PopulateValues(ViewLocationExpanderContext context)
        {
            //do nothing here
        }
}

Hi,
in this way you can use your custom View file(cshtml file) but how can I use my ViewComponent file? I would like to use my custom view file(cshtml and I can) and my custom viewcomponent file(like HomepageProductViewComponent.cs).

Thanks

Hello STESAMO,

Are there any code related changes?

Yes, I need to make some changes; the only way I found is to ovverride the Factory that populate the model.

Yes, You need to override model for changes. if you don't want to override it, then you can use model prepare event.
