This is useful for a variety of interesting scenarios in link generation
where a default value doesn't appear in the route template as a parameter.
This can be used to implement the desired behavior for areas - where the
'area' key is sticky.
This change adds tests and makes the behavior consistent with legacy MVC
as far as what values are visible in constraints.
This is important because it allows constraints to make decisions based on
whether or not a value is present even if it's not in the template. This
is similar to the behavior of WebAPI link generation or Area link
generation in MVC 5 - but without hardcoding.
This is the routing part of these changes, and just the breaking changes
parts.
Follow-ups will add:
- DataTokens
- Tracking the logical stack of routers
Moving out Default Handler and IInlineConstraintResolver from RouteCollection.
These are moved to a new interface IRouteBuilder, (instead of an IInlineConstraintResolver, it takes in an IServiceProvider).
This means all RouteCollectionExtensions are moved to RouteBuilderExtensions.
