- use new `ModelMetadata.HtmlEncode` property in HTML helpers
- specifically in default HTML display and editor object templates (e.g.
`@Html.DisplayFor()`) when value is non-`null` and the template is invoked
with template depth greater than 1
- similar to MVC 5.2 commit [2b12791aee4f](https://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/2b12791aee4ffc56c7928b623bb45ee425813021)
nits:
- remove dupe `null` check in `DefaultDisplayTemplates.ObjectTemplate()`
- move backing fields initialized with constants together in `ModelMetadata`
- `null` checks can generally be removed but in one case needed to
special-case metadata for `object`
nit: remove duplicate empty `string` check in
`ExpressionMetadataProvider.FromStringExpression()`
- ensure correct `ViewData.ModelState` value in a `RazorPage` instance
- let view components inherit `ViewData.Model` from surrounding context
- do not create an isolated `ViewDataDictionary<TModel>` in one HTML helper
- allows previous `ViewDataDictionary<TModel>` constructor to be `internal`
- also add comments for that constructor
- change two `ViewDataDictionary` copy constructor calls to avoid uselessly
copying `Model` and related information from source
- This involved adding the StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase comparer to the TagBuilder's Attributes dictionary.
- Added tests to validate that all methods that made use of TagBuilder.Attributes abide by the new ignore case mechanic.
- Added two sets of tests to validate the new functionality of Object => Dictionary HTML helper tests.
- Modified a functional test that utilizes HTML Helpers to provide same attribute-different case objects.
- Fixed existing HTML helper tests to account for new ordering of attrbutes (dictionary no longer adds key value pairs, it sets them).
#1328
- #704 part 2 of 2
- change `@Html.Id()` to sanitize return value; was identical to `@Html.Name()`
Copied `TagBuilder.CreateSanitizedId()` and `TagBuilder.Html401IdUtil` from MVC 5.2
- except this `CreateSanitizedId()` returns a valid identifier if first `char` is not a letter
- e.g. "[0].Name"
nits:
- expand variable names, use lots of `var`, put `public` members first
- add doc comments for `CreateSanitizedId()`
Note users will be able to apply different sanitization once we fix#1188.
- make a few more methods available as `internal static` in `DefaultHtmlGenerator`
- remove `IHtmlGenerator.GenerateOption()`; now `internal static`
nits:
- add `IHtmlGenerator.IdAttributeDotReplacement`
- move `DefaultHtmlGenerator.IdAttributeDotReplacement` after constructor
- move `HtmlHelper.ActionLink()` below static methods
- move newly-`internal` methods together in `DefaultHtmlGenerator`
- correct placement of `DefaultHtmlGenerator.GetValidationAttributes()` comment
- part of #1243 (kind-of)
- mostly copied from `HtmlHelper` but refactored to
- consistently take a `ViewContext` parameter and return a `TagBuilder`
- provide `GenerateActionLink()` and `GenerateRouteLink()`
- provide a separate `GenerateHiddenForCheckBox()`, allowing
`GenerateCheckBox()` to return a `TagBuilder`
- `GenerateForm()`'s `method` parameter is a `string`, not `FormMethod`
nits: format document, consistent line wrapping, variable name changes, ...
- #965
- test call-throughs from `Html.Editor[For]()` to inner `IHtmlHelper`
- add another parameter to `DefaultTemplatesUtilities.GetHtmlHelper()`
nit: reorder dictionaries at the top of `TemplateRenderer` slightly
Html.PartialAsync
* Introducing StringCollectionTextWriter to buffer the contents of
PartialAsync
* Ensure DecorateWriter is called for partial views
Fixes#1266
- avoid overriding a datetime format if format was already customized
- primarily affects the default Date and Time editor templates because they
are often used due to `[DataType]` attributes with "default" edit formats
- #843
- add property as well as the related `[HiddenInput]` attribute
- use this property to address some TODOs in default display and editor templates
- #847 line 1: copy XML comments from interfaces to extension methods
- lots of wording changes to be more consistent
- core text split from PR #866, where @rynowak and I hashed out the words
- to extent possible, reuse words between method descriptions
- add a few missing `<param/>` and `<typeparam/>` elements and fill in empty ones
- display more HTML elements as tags
- use `<c>true|false|null</c>` more often
- add `<remarks/>` describing behaviour of input helpers e.g. `CheckBox()`
- add `<remarks/>` explaining "renders"
- add `<remarks/>` containing example expression names
nits:
- "The expression" -> "An expression"
- make examples for `ObjectToDictionary()` and `AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes()` more consistent
- move `<typeparam/>` elements (that existed) after all `<param/>` elements
- explain "checked" attributes better, removing some duplicated words from the `RadioButton[For]()` descriptions
- correct `routeValues` description in `GenerateForm()` comments
- correct XML comment typo introduced in `HtmlHelper` in 56d66c090e (bad merge)
- fix missed `null` requirement for `@Html.RadioButtonFor()` and remove buried `null` check
- add back `Environment.Newline` to `@Html.TextArea()` (was dropped though comment wasn't)
- #874 lines 3, 4, and 6
- correct `Value()` to treat a `null` expression name the same as `string.Empty`
- add missing `[NotNull]` attributes in `EditorExtensions` and for `GenerateIdFromName()`
- consistently pass `null` for default expression names to the helpers
- for example, from extension methods
- add test cases using `null` for expression name
nits:
- correct summary XML comment for `HtmlHelper` class
- use named parameters and prefer interface (not extension) methods in changed calls
- use `string.Empty` instead of `""` in a few tests
- fix problems at least with Roslyn compiler and VS IntelliSense or the Object Browser
- `<see langref="keyword"/>` generates nothing
- `<example>` at top level (outside `<summary>`) generates nothing
- curly braces don't become angle brackets outside `<see cref="reference"/>` references
- yeah, a point @yishaigalatzer asked about in a previous PR
- `<see href="reference"/>` is not valid
- correct some invalid use of angle brackets and remove useless empty elements
- correct unresolved XML comment references; generally, add namespace prefix
Symptoms for some of the above issues included
- generated XML comments such as `<!-- Badly formed XML comment ... -->`, usually indicating an unclosed element
- generated XML attributes such as `cref="!:..."`, indicating a broken reference
- in a couple of cases we had `<typeparamref cref="TOption"/>`; attribute should be `"name"`
Few wording changes beyond
- `"opening </form> tag"` -> `"<form> start tag"`
- `"closing </form> tag"` -> `"</form> end tag"`
Also correct two typos in `HtmlHelper`
Will create a unit test to ensure XML syntax doesn't degrade going forward. Separate PR.
- for now, check using `dir -r *.xml | sls '!'`
- see line 2 of #874
- focus on `TextBox[For]()` and `ValidationSummary()`
related fixes included here:
- `TextArea[For]()` documentation incorrectly indicated their `htmlAttributes` parameters were dictionaries
- handle `htmlAttributes` parameters more consistently; create a dictionary only when necessary
- fixes#566 and part of #847
- allows compositions such as `@Html.Label("property", Html.Id("property"))`
and `@Html.Raw(Html.DisplayText("property"))` (this one is not recommended)
- adjust XML comments to match
- add missing XML comments to `HtmlHelperValueExtensions`
- nit: `TInnerModel` -> `TModelItem`
- increase XML comment consistency for changed methods
- generally make wording more consistent e.g. how we use words such as
"returns"
- use `<see langref="string|true|false|null"/>` more
- address all of #659 and a bit of #874 (avoid `public virtual` methods in
`HtmlHelper`)
- make `MetadataProvider` and `GetClientValidationRules()` `public` and
therefore available to extension methods
- remove unused `GetValidationAttributes()` overload
- make remaining `GetValidationAttributes()` overload (and not
`GetClientValidationRules()`) `virtual`, allowing derived classes to
change the attributes without overriding all callers
- reverse `GetValidationAttributes()` and `GetClientValidationRules()`
parameter order to match precedence
- add `GenerateName()` and `GenerateValidationSummary()` to make
`protected virtual` method names consistent
- `Name()`, `ValidationSummary()` and `TextArea()` are no longer `virtual`
because `protected virtual Generate*()` methods exist for all
- remove `ViewContext.UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled` property and all references
- avoid `ViewContext.GetFormContextForClientValidation()` calls since
ternary expression is more explicit and we were inconsistent
- improve `ValidationMessage()` comments
- don't treat `ModelState.IsValid` as if it were still nullable
- value comes from `Name` property of `[Display]` attribute
- use new property in `@Html.DisplayName()` and `@Html.Label()`; remove associated TODO comments
This change enables user to specify the tag for the wrapping HTML element
generated from ValidationSummary() and ValidationMessage[For]().
Clean up HtmlHelperValidationExtensions.
should consider the application base path
- `request.BasePath` was indeed ignored
- also simplify `formAction` calculation using the higher-level
`PathString.Add()` overloads
- use the request's Path and QueryString rather than default Action() return
value
- actual special case detects all parameter values match the defaults
- this slightly expands the scenarios where the query string is added but
removes an odd inconsistency between `html.BeginForm()` and (say)
`html.BeginForm(FormMethod.Post)`
Fixes#278
- copy from legacy MVC
- get `ListBox[For]()` methods in correct places and working
- also usual stuff: `var`, `[NotNull]`, remove `IDictionary<,>` overloads
- `ListBoxHelper()` -> `GenerateListBox`
- already had all the bits needed in `GenerateSelect()`
- special-case `null` or empty `name` in GenerateSelect()
- ensure `ArgumentException` has correct parameter name
- lower-level problem affected `CheckBox()` as well
- use `ListBox()` and `ListBoxFor()` in MVC sample
- use `ListBox()` in an editor template
