This change adds an API for Tag Helper discovery.
I also got rid of the 'design time' flag for the provider as an
experimental change. We need to think through the consequences of this
before committing to it. Right now I've left those tests failing until we
can make a decision.
This change decouples VCTH discovery a bit more, but we're still not ready
to move that into a the MVC extensions assembly. For that we need the
ability to discover the MVC extensibility.
- Removed all design time descriptors and put their API surface into their corresponding descriptor. Part of removing the design time API surface was removing the tracking of `<Remarks>`, it wasn't used so there's on need to track it until we need it.
- Removed the Type requirement from `TagHelperDescriptor`. With this separation we'll be able to have abstract `TagHelper`s that aren't based on a class implementation.
- Removed Prefix from the `TagHelperDescriptor` API surface. It was a legacy requirement based on how the Razor parser was put together. We can work around this now.
- Stripped correlation information from the immediate `TagHelperDescriptor` API surface. Instead this information is now tracked in `TagMatchingRule`s. This change means that you will not have multiple `TagHelperDescriptor`s per `TagHelper`; instead it's all tracked in a single descriptor. A side effect of this change was the transformation of `IsIndexer` => 3 new properties.
- Renamed many descriptor types and property names.
- Added builder APIs to construct TagHelpers since they're inherently immutable in their API surface.
- Added `ITagHelperDescriptorBuilder` to represent `TagHelper`s that are built from an `ITagHelper` implementing class. It re-introduces the `TypeName` association of a `TagHelper`.
- Added `ITagHelperBoundAttributeDescriptorBuilder` to represent that an attribute was associated with a property.
- Added validation methods to the descriptor builders to enable consumers to validate the current state of the builder and add diagnostics as necessary.
- Moved descriptors away from RazorError.
- Updated the various comparers to understand the descriptors new API.
- Added a new `RazorDiagnosticFactory` abstraction to handle `RazorDiagnostic`s and their corresponding errors/ids etc. This new API should allow for easy addition of new `RazorDiagnostic` errors.
- Updated the `DefaultTagHelperDescriptorFactory` to construct `TagHelperDescriptor`s using the new builder APIs and in the new descriptor format (1 descriptor per type).
- Updated `ViewComponentTagHelperDescriptorFactory` to construct `TagHelperDescriptor`s with the builder API.
- With both factory implementations code was duplicated because the ViewComponent work will be moving outside of Razor once we have the proper hooks.
- Updated `TagHelper` binding bits to capture a binding result in order to query which rules appy to a given tag name.
Addressed feedback
- Update tests to react to new `TagHelperDescriptor` API.
- Remove case sensitive comparers and some cleanup
- Added TagHelperDescriptorJsonConverter, RazorDiagnosticJsonConverter and added serialization tests
We're close to hooking up new Razor to MVC. This is a set of enabling
'quick fix' changes to resolve some blockers to using Razor.Evolution in
the product.
Main issues:
- Types not public enough - anything in the .Legacy namespace is still
slated from 'improvement'
- Wrong references. We don't want .Workspaces in MVC, so moving the heavy
lifting of TagHelper discovery to CodeAnalysis.Razor.
