ASP.NET 5 MVC 6: Reading Cache in ViewModel

Question

I am creating an application with ASP.NET 5 MVC 6.

In my base-viewmodel, I have to access the application- and the session-cache.

Of course I could pass the cache-objects from my controller to the viewmodel to the base-viewmodel, but this seems a bit complicated.

Whats the way of doing this?

From your description I gather you would want to request an instance of IMemoryCache via Dependency Injection. You can read how to do this here: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/performance/caching/memory.html
