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.
This also fixes#1503.
Currently all model binders except mutable object binder are independent of validation code. The mutable object binder which needs to do some validation ( for scenarios involving [BindRequired] and [BindNever]).
We would be going with an approach where required validaiton happens in input formatters and model binders.
This is needed as validation for value types can best be done at creation time.
Followup PRs:
Introduce support for skipping validation (and not binding) for a particular property/type etc.
Changes here are all focused around MaxModelErrors on
ModelStateDictionary.
MaxAllowedErrors now defaults to 200 (same as options). This means that
constructing a new ModelStateDictionary with the default constructor will
use this default. There's a new constructor for creating a
MaxAllowedErrors with a non-default value.
The ControllerActionArgumentBinder is now responsible for setting the
value from options onto ActionContext.ModelState. This results in better
layering and guarantees the option is respected if someone uses
extensibility to call model binding.
ModelStateDictionary.CanAddErrors is renamed to MaxErrorsReached. We
wanted to change the behavior of this property, but realized that it's
very useful inside the model validation code, so opted to renamed.
There's also a bunch of doc cleanup inside ModelStateDictionary to
simplify things and improve clarity.
This change moves controller creation to the stage immediately before
model binding. The controller will be disposed/released before Resource
Filters run their 'OnResourceExecuted' method. Previously the controller's
lifetime surrounded all filter invocation.
Additionally, the Controller property is now gone from ActionContext, and
is moved to the 4 filter contexts that should have access to it
Action*Context and Result*Context.
The action invoker no longer needs access to model metadata or to the
input formatter selector. This change removes the same as constructor
parameters and cleans up tests which use the invoker.
This is a new filter stage that surrounds the existing model binding,
action, and result parts of the pipeline. Resource Filters run after
Authorization Filters.
The other major change is to support one of the primary scenarios for
Resource Filters. We want a filter to be able to modify the inputs the
model binding (formatters, model binders, value providers, etc) -- this
means that those changes need to be held on a context object and preserved
so that they can be used in the controller.
So, IActionBindingContextProvider is removed - the ActionBindingContext
will be created by the invoker. For now it will be part of the action
context.
