This is the first step is some more refactorings to come in the future
with the goal of making MVC less monolythic. This makes the core of MVC
more reusable and more in line with the design of other vNext platform
components.
With this change, Mvc.Core contains just the minimal guts needed to build
a working app.
- Action Discovery
- Action Invoker
- Filters
- ObjectResult
- Model Metadata
- Model Binding
- Formatters
- Validation System
And yes, we are aware of the irony of 'minimal MVC' not including the view
system. The idea is that this is the kernel of an MVC app, and anything
real is layered on top.
The most noticable impact of this change is that MvcOptions has been blown
apart into more managable chunks. See the various ConfigureMvc*** methods.
The new Mvc.Extensions package is a placeholder while we evaluate and tune
the new definitions. Expect more changes as features are move to their own
packages, and in some case their own repositories.
For now there is no experience to bootstrap an Mvc.Core app. That's coming
next.
Combining IControllerModelBuilder and IActionModelBuilder into a pipeline
of IApplicationModelBuilders. Extensibility for framework features (Auth,
Cors, etc) should implement an IApplicationModelBuilder to add data to
models before IApplicationModelConventions have a chance to run.
Also deleting IGlobalFilterProvider while touching this code, this should
have been removed a while ago when we removed other options facades.
services
* Added WithControllersFromServiceProvider that replaces the default
controller activator with a service based one.
* Move activation to DefaultControllerFactory
* Modify [Activate] behavior so that it no longer activates services. Use
[FromService] attribute to hydrate services
Fixes#1707
- #EngineeringDay
- VS does not yet format auto-properties nicely; reverted what it did
Also revert changes under
- test/Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Razor.Host.Test/TestFiles
This also comes with a rename of the namespace
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.ApplicationModel to
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.ApplicationModels.
Also tuned up some parameter and variable names for increased
understandability.
IActionConstraint follows a provider model similar to filters. The
attributes that go on actions/controllers can be simple metadata markers,
the 'real' constraint is provided by a set of configurable providers. In
general the simplest thing to do is to be both an
IActionConstraintMetadata and IActionConstraint, and then the default
provider will take care of you.
IActionConstraint now has stages based on the Order property. Each group
of constraints with the same Order will run together on the set of
actions. This process is repeated for each value of Order until we run out
of actions or run out of constraints.
The IActionConstraint interface is beefier than the equivalent in legacy
MVC. This is to support cooperative coding between sets of constraints
that know about each other. See the changes in the sample, which implement
webapi-style overloading.
This change removes WebAPI-style method parameter overloading and the
automatic mapping of 'unnamed' actions based on method names. For all
practicaly purposes, this change restores the MVC5 behavior for action
selection.
WebAPI-style overloading will be brought back in the future via a set of
opt-in constructs.
https://roslyn.codeplex.com/workitem/246 affects usage of code with the
latest build of Roslyn with Moq v4.2. The workaround involves ensuring a
closure is created. Updating affected tests to make ToString() calls on
local variables to create these closures.
