Creating A Global Model, With No Associated Database Table

Hello All,

I am using ASP .Net Core 3.1 Razor Pages (non-MVC) with Entity Framework Core.

Consider the following OnGet() Handler in an Index.cs file:

public IActionResult OnGet()
{
var webRootPath = _hostingEnvironment.WebRootPath;
var docsPath = Path.Combine(webRootPath, "documents");

var DocumentInformation = Directory.GetFiles(docsPath, "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);

return Page();
}

This code returns an array of files in the wwwroot/documents directory.

This array is read into the local variable  var DocumentInformation

My question:

Instead of using a local variable, I would like to create a model, that can not only be passed back to the .cshtml file, but can be used in other parts of my application.

I don't want the model to be used to create a database table.

I would appreciate any guidance on how to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance for your time....
