This is the MVC companion to https://github.com/aspnet/Routing/pull/122
As routing flows, routes replace the route data and mutate a copy. This
allows users to make changes that dirty the data without affecting
undesired state changes.
We also add the 'next' router for diagnostic purposes.
The change here is to always use the provided formatter, instead of using
it as a fallback. This is much less surprising for users.
There are some other subtle changes here and cleanup of the tests, as well
as documentation additions.
The primary change is that we still want to run 'select' on a formatter
even if it's the only one. This allows us to choose a content type based
on the accept header.
In the case of a user-provided formatter, we'll try to honor the best
possible combination of Accept and specified ContentTypes (specified
ContentTypes win if there's a conflict). If nothing works, we'll still run
the user-provided formatter and let it decide what to do.
In the case of the default (formatters from options) we do conneg, and if
there's a conflict, fall back to a global (from services)
JsonOutputFormatter - we let it decide what to do.
This should leave us with a defined and tested behavior for all cases.
This change adds the concept of a full-name to viewcomponents. View
components can be invoked using either the short name or long name. If the
provided string contains a '.' character, then it will be compared against
full names, otherwise it will be matched against short names only.
The short name is used for view lookups.
If the name is explicitly set via ViewComponent attribute, then the full
name is the name provided. The short name is the portion of the name after
the last '.'. If there are no dots, then the short name and full name are
the same.
If the name is not set explicitly, then it is inferred from the Type and
namespace name. The short name is the Type name, minus the 'ViewComponent'
suffix (if present). The full name is the namespace of the defining class,
plus the short name.
Taking the suggestion here to move these to a sub-object. This is future
proof in the event that we need to capture more data for ApiExplorer, and
reads better.
- This involved adding the StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase comparer to the TagBuilder's Attributes dictionary.
- Added tests to validate that all methods that made use of TagBuilder.Attributes abide by the new ignore case mechanic.
- Added two sets of tests to validate the new functionality of Object => Dictionary HTML helper tests.
- Modified a functional test that utilizes HTML Helpers to provide same attribute-different case objects.
- Fixed existing HTML helper tests to account for new ordering of attrbutes (dictionary no longer adds key value pairs, it sets them).
#1328
This also comes with a rename of the namespace
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.ApplicationModel to
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.ApplicationModels.
Also tuned up some parameter and variable names for increased
understandability.
This change modifies the default parameter binding behavior for an
ApiController to use the WebAPI rules.
'simple types' default to use route data or query string
'complex types' default to use the body (formatters)
Adds ModelBindingAttribute to enabled model binding
Fix: The MvcOptions takes in a list of ExcludeFromValidationDelegate (Func<Type,bool>). This func verifies if the type is excluded in validation or not.
1) Expose the simplified relative path template by cleaning up constraints, optional and catch all tokens from the template.
2) Expose the parameters on the route template as API parameters.
3) Combine parameters from the route and the action descriptor when the parameter doesn't come from the body. #886 will refine this.
4) Expose optionality and constraints for path parameters. Open question: Should we explicitly expose IsCatchAll?
Html.PartialAsync
* Introducing StringCollectionTextWriter to buffer the contents of
PartialAsync
* Ensure DecorateWriter is called for partial views
Fixes#1266
Adds the set of CreateResponse/CreateErrorResponse extension methods that
return an HttpResponseMessage.
For the overloads that perform content negotiation they will access the
collection of MediaTypeFormatters through the shim options. Note that
CreateResponse and friends use the OLD formatters.
Also, HttpError and CreateErrorResponse assume ErrorDetail == false. Using
the shim you will not get detailed error messages unless you construct the
HttpError instance yourself.
This change adds a ModelBinder that can bind an HttpRequestMessage to an
action parameter.
This builds on an earlier change to construct and store the request
message in the HttpContext via an http feature.
