- Removes IExcludeTypeFilter
- Replaced with a property 'ValidateChildren' on ModelMetadata
- Teach ValidationVisitor to respect 'ValidateChildren' for enumerable
types.
Abstractions - Core MVC extensibility
Controllers - MVC implementations of .Abstractions and supporting
contracts
Infrastructure - General purpose support APIs. Metadata APIs that don't
fit clearly with a feature or with .Abstraction
- #2836
Part 1: Use existing property values when recursing in `MutableObjectModelBinder`
- remove `ComplexModelDTO` because that indirection made fixing this issue more difficult and doesn't add value
- started with an old closed PR (#2241) which did some of this work
- correct `MutableObjectModelBinderTest` tests that exercised behaviour that can't occur
- the old `dto.Results` dictionary was never incomplete; nor could it contain `null` values
Part 2: Change `MutableObjectModelBinder` to pass complex property values into binding system
- model binding no longer trounces nodes in the model tree that aren't bound
- create model instances less often in `TryUpdateModel` scenarios
- refactor `EnsureModel()` to `GetModel()` and use appropriately
- reorder logic in `SetProperty()` and `AddToProperty()` to avoid copying to / from the same collection
- also cleans up some code duplication
nits:
- clean up `MutableObjectModelBinderTest`
- fix odd line wrappings and indentation
- use `nameof()` more
- use `string.Empty` more
- simplify a couple of `Returns()` expressions
- make assertions in `TryUpdateModelIntegrationTest` more readable
- no need to work through `ModelStateDictionary.Keys`
- also use `Length` instead of `Count()`; test code but we don't need Linq at all in that test class
This change moves the responsibility for saving TempData into a filter,
which is registered with other View features. This moves TempData into the
ViewFeatures package.
ActionResults which require TempData to be kept use a new marker interface
which is handled by the filter.
- #2705
- add `JQueryFormValueProvider` and `JQueryFormValueProviderFactory`
- carry some code forward from MVC 5; correct to follow current coding guidelines
- refactor `ReadableStringCollectionValueProviderTest` into abstract `EnumerableValueProviderTest`
- enables reuse in new `JQueryFormValueProviderTest`
- also run these tests in `CompositeValueProviderTest`
nits:
- do not create a duplicate `CompositeValueProvider` instance in `Filter()`
- correct garbled sentence in `IBindingSourceValueProvider` doc comments
- simplify `FormValueProviderFactoryTest` (no need for Moq) and correct test name
- correct test class / file names
- `CompositeValueProviderTests` -> `CompositeValueProviderTest`
- `FormValueProviderFactoryTests` -> `FormValueProviderFactoryTest`
This is some cleanup of how we add multi-registration services to avoid
duplication when calling AddMvcServices multiple times. Also improved
tests to be more clear, and to verify all of our special cases
explicitly.
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.
Add SerializerSettings to MvcOptions and pass those options to the JsonInputFormatter and JsonOutputFormatter.
Remove custom contract resolver.

Fix tests
The fix splits client validation and model validation into two separate hierarchies.
Introduced ClientModelValidatorProvider in MvcOptions, which can be iterated to produce IClientModelValidators.
As a result of this, HtmlGenerator code can be free of ActionBindingContext and directly consumes options.
This also means that we do not modify the client validations during resource filters.
- remove useless `configuration` variables and `Configuration` instances
- remove "Review" code comment
- unintentionally included in commit 4b5dd19
- reduce repeated code in `TestHelper` for functional tests
- `CreateServer()` methods had duplicate code, an ambiguous match, and an odd order
- rename `GetTestConfiguration()` to `UseCultureReplacer()` in functional tests
This change removes reflection from validator providers, and instead
relies on cached metadata in in the modelmetadata.
In general this means that our MVPs don't need to cache anything, they
just look at the metadata and create what they need.
In the case of data-annotations, we update the model details provider to
add validation attributes to the modelmetadata. This would allow someone
to replace the DataAnnotationsValidatorProvider, but still use the
metadata in these attributes.
The change to the IModelValidatorProvider api (to use a context) is
intended to minimize allocations. Currently each validator provider needs
to return a list so you end up with N+1 lists (N validators + a final list
to compine them all). This change will let us just create the final list
(and a small context object). This is a very very high traffic API so it
seemed worth doing.
There's also some general massaging of namespaces and file locations.
