- #4116
- generalize rules for `ModelMetadata` creation; minimize metadata changes when Model is updated
- down to a single special case in VDD for `Nullable<T>`
- note existing functional tests did not need to change
- remove `ViewDataDictionary(ViewDataDictionary, object)` constructor; use `new VDD<object>(source, model)`
- allow all `Model` assignments in a view component
- copy-constructed VDD in `ViewComponentContext` previously preserved the source's declared type
nits:
- do not call `virtual SetModel()` method from constructor; now mostly redundant
- logic in copy constructor and `SetModel()` is consistent but different enough to keep code separate
- add some missing doc comments
- fix doc comment property versus type confusion; never need to specify `ViewDataDictionary.` prefix
- fix a few `TemplateBuilder` comments and remove unnecessary `model: null` argument to VDD constructor
- remove duplicate `null` checks in `ViewDataDictionary` constructors
- correct a couple of code comments
- use a `public` constructor for `ViewDataDictionary` in `ViewExecutor`
- Simplify things that used to rely on HtmlTextWriter. This behavior is
now the default.
- Simplify a whole mess of Razor TextWriter code.
- Integration test for merging of TagHelper buffers back into the 'main'
buffer.
- standardize on the `Type` extension method; less verbiage
- `ModelMetadata` had a redundant `IsAssignableFrom()` call
- `ModelBindingHelper.ValidateBindingContext()` over-engineered and used just once
- do useful bit inline in `KeyValuePairModelBinder` but now a silent "does not apply" case
This change removes a layer of abstraction. These validators now just do
what they do now without creating a bunch of intermediate objects.
ModelClientValidationRule has been removed, and client validations
manipulate the attributes collection of a tag directly.
