- #4339: remove non-recommended JSON formatter constructors
- affects `JsonInputFormatter`, `JsonOutputFormatter`, `JsonPatchInputFormatter`
- `JsonOutputFormatter` cleanup also impacts `JsonHelper`
- rename and make `SerializerSettingsProvider` class public; use it as appropriate
- #4409: make `SerializerSetings` properties get-only and `protected`
- affects `JsonInputFormatter`, `JsonOutputFormatter`
Recommended patterns:
- change `JsonSerializerSettings` values in `MvcJsonOptions` for almost all customizations
- find `JsonOutputFormatter` in `MvcOptions.OutputFormatters` when limiting per-result formatters
- start with `JsonSerializerSettingsProvider.CreateSerializerSettings()` when customizing a per-result formatter
- #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
Believe it or not, this one in ActionResult is showing in TechEmpower. I
did a pass on all of the product code since the cache task actually
improves the readability of the code 😎
- remove duplicate `null` checks in `ViewDataDictionary` constructors
- correct a couple of code comments
- use a `public` constructor for `ViewDataDictionary` in `ViewExecutor`
* Added ViewComponentFeture and ViewComponentFeatureProvider to perform view component discovery.
* Changed view component discovery to use application parts.
* Changed ViewComponentDescriptorProvider to make use of Application parts.
* Added AddViewComponentsAsServices method on IMvcBuilder that performs view component
discovery through the ApplicationPartManager and registers those view components as
services in the service collection. Assemblies should be added to the ApplicationPartManager
in order to discover view components in them in them.
Just a safety measure in case anything evades our 'flattening'. I don't
have any evidence that we're failing to clear something, but we want this
here as a safeguard.
