- #1758
- provide the property bag in `ModelMetadata`; seal it in `CachedModelMetadata`
- add unit tests
- include use of `AdditionalValues` in model binding functional test
nits:
- expose `AdditionalValues` as an `IDictionary` though MVC 5 uses `Dictionary`
- seal `ModelMetadata.Properties` collection as well
- cover a few properties previously missed in `CachedDataAnnotationsModelMetadataTest`
- correct two `ModelMetadataTest` method names
This is a major refactor of how IBinderMetadata interacts with model
binders and value providers. We're doing this to support better
extensibility for metadata in ApiExplorer.
You'll notice a bunch of deleted code in DefaultApiDescriptionProvider
that maps metadata marker interfaces to a fixed list of Api sources. This
is replaced now with IBindingSourceMetadata - which also replaces the
hierarchy of marker interfaces. Now user code can create an arbitrary
binding source and have a consistent API for model-binders,
value-providers and full-visibility in ApiExplorer as
well.
Additonally, there's some error checking in place that better enforces the
constraints we already have in the system. IE you can't create a 'greedy'
model binder that uses value-provider data.
Two additional enhancements are planned for followup PRs:
1. Add a BindingSource property to model-metadata. This will remove some
duplication, but I want to delay it because it would touch another 10 or
so files.
2. Add an extensibility interface for our 'special' model binders like the
file binder so these can show up in ApiExplorer as well.
- #964
- compute `ModelMetadata.Order` based on `[Display]` attribute
- property affects e.g. `@Html.DisplayFor()` generation for complex objects
- also affects order of messages in validation summaries
- test new scenarios involving `ModelMetadata.Order`
- per-property `ModelMetadata` and related tests
- validation and `HtmlHelper` tests
- add `HtmlHelperValidationSummaryTest` (which touches on #453)
- update ModelBinding functional test to show use of `[Display(Order = x)]`
nits:
- move more `NullDisplayText` bits into proper slots (just above `Order`)
- add doc comments for `ComputeNullDisplayText()`
- add more assertions in tests using `ModelStateDictionary.HasReachedMaxErrors`
- remove some trailing whitespace
- avoid `Assert.True()` & `Assert.False()`; split some assertions up
- `""` -> `string.Empty` in affected test classes
- rename "DefaultEditorTemplatesTest~~s~~" class and file to follow guidelines
- rename "ModelBindingTest~~s~~" class and file to follow guidelines
FYI #1888 covers a predictable (or even just stable) order in the UI
- 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`
- only affects an extreme corner case: user sets `metadata.EditFormatString` then reads
`metadata.DisplayFormatString`
- an extreme case because `EditFormatString` is normally set only when
`DisplayFormatString` is set and, if set, it's to the same value
- happened to see this while updating `CachedDataAnnotationsModelMetadata` for this PR
nit: an -> a in an adjacent XML comment in `CachedDataAnnotationsModelMetadata`
Substituted all instances of [MemberData("PropertyName")] for [MemberData(nameof(PropertyName))]
This change enables us to take advantage of IDE features like Navigate to source,
find all references, etc. When using Visual Studio.
- `DisplayFormatString` and `EditFormatString` now based on attributes
- `HasNonDefaultEditFormat` is new
- confirm `DataType` and `ScaffoldColumn` in `CachedDataAnnotationsMetadataAttributes`
