DD4T: Customizing RenderComponentPresentation

Sometime when we work with Component presentation, we might come up with the scenario to have customized RenderComponentPresentation, when we deal with Area/View or splitting view into more organized structure. We can fetch and send the area from the Template.
Currently DD4T doesn’t allow injecting the ComponentPresentationRenderer, instead it allows us to write our own renderer and call it along with RenderComponentPresentation as below


The custom ComponentPresenationRenderer can be created based on the scenario, so when we use the area, we could have the custom ComponentPresentation as below
SDL Reference implementation, customized Renderer beautifully and implemented the Renderor to use Area view concept.

DD4TFormRouteHandler is a custom route handler responsible for mapping incoming browser requests to particular MVC controller actions, this works along with  DD4TFormHelper  (that generate the route information for the form) Posting a form in DD4T is not complicated, you can create the mvc form as a normal controller and action, then post it via AJAX.
