For link generation to areas, we need to provide the set of values that
the route could potentially provide.
Basically if we know what action we want to reach, we want to know whether
or not a given route could hit that action before giving it the OK to
generate a link.
For instance a route like '{controller}' couldn't hit an action like
'HomeController:DoACoolThing', since it can never provide a value for
'action'. This makes it possible for WebFX to make the right decision
without changing the behavior of any of the routing constructs. This also
has the side-effect of removing a class of order dependencies in routing
that cause bad links to be generated.
The code that does an 'UPSERT' of seed data on app start was querying
existing instances and attaching as modified of seed instances on the
same context. Now that we track query results this will throw because
the context has two instances of the same entity (same key value).
Swapping to use a temporary context to query existing data.
- add `IHtmlHelper<T>` and `ICanHasViewContext`
- adjust `HtmlHelper` and `HtmlHelper<T>` to match
- throw if `ViewContext` accessed prior to `Contextualize` call
- XML comments (from old world) all around
Note
- no current need for an `HtmlHelper` copy constructor or `Clone()` method
- expect recursion code to get another injected `IHtmlHelper<T>` and then
"contextualize" that instance with a new `ViewContext`
- start with `FormContext` and classes it needs from legacy world
- FYI `ModelClientValidationRule` came from Web Pages; the rest from MVC
Cleanup and make files compile in new world
- remove `FormContext.GetJsonValidationMetadata` method; will file an
issue to revive this using Json.NET
- don't store `FormContext` in the `HttpContext`, no longer have child
actions
- do `null` checks in setters, not getters (minor perf improvement)
- fix namespaces and usings
- wrap long lines; use `[NotNull]`; no copyright notice
- use explicit comparers for dictionaries
- add XML comment for odd `ModelClientValidationRule.ValidationType`
property
- Collection -> List
1. Adding scripts to self host & custom host Music store
2. Updating readme
3. Cleanup some helper classes that are not necessary.
4. Adding error page middleware for diagnostics.
5. Flipping the switch to run helios on "K" by default.
Compared to legacy MVC:
- correct usings and namespace
- remove `GetFullHtmlFieldId` method; depends on `HtmlHelper` method that
can't be static
- String -> string
- remove reference to a legacy bug
- convert internal `VisitedObjects` property to public `AddVisited()` method
Further cleanup
- remove explicit backing fields for remaining properties
- add copy constructor to replace code distributed around legacy MVC
- don't "combine and trim" in `GetFullHtmlFieldName()`
This was causing intellisense failures in VS. It looks like the
commandline is able to accidentally pick up the compatability extensions
from the model binding assembly, but this is not the case in VS.
Changed this code not to rely on compatability extensions.
