Abstractions - Core MVC extensibility
Controllers - MVC implementations of .Abstractions and supporting
contracts
Infrastructure - General purpose support APIs. Metadata APIs that don't
fit clearly with a feature or with .Abstraction
This is the first step is some more refactorings to come in the future
with the goal of making MVC less monolythic. This makes the core of MVC
more reusable and more in line with the design of other vNext platform
components.
With this change, Mvc.Core contains just the minimal guts needed to build
a working app.
- Action Discovery
- Action Invoker
- Filters
- ObjectResult
- Model Metadata
- Model Binding
- Formatters
- Validation System
And yes, we are aware of the irony of 'minimal MVC' not including the view
system. The idea is that this is the kernel of an MVC app, and anything
real is layered on top.
The most noticable impact of this change is that MvcOptions has been blown
apart into more managable chunks. See the various ConfigureMvc*** methods.
The new Mvc.Extensions package is a placeholder while we evaluate and tune
the new definitions. Expect more changes as features are move to their own
packages, and in some case their own repositories.
For now there is no experience to bootstrap an Mvc.Core app. That's coming
next.
Combining IControllerModelBuilder and IActionModelBuilder into a pipeline
of IApplicationModelBuilders. Extensibility for framework features (Auth,
Cors, etc) should implement an IApplicationModelBuilder to add data to
models before IApplicationModelConventions have a chance to run.
Also deleting IGlobalFilterProvider while touching this code, this should
have been removed a while ago when we removed other options facades.
services
* Added WithControllersFromServiceProvider that replaces the default
controller activator with a service based one.
* Move activation to DefaultControllerFactory
* Modify [Activate] behavior so that it no longer activates services. Use
[FromService] attribute to hydrate services
Fixes#1707
The ParameterModel and ParameterDescriptor have had a notion of
optionality for a while now, even though all parameters are treated as
'optional' in MVC.
This change removes these settings. Optionality for overloading in webapi
compat shim is reimplemented via a new binder metadata.
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
This change adds ApplicationModel conventions that can enable WebAPI
action conventions (verb mapping) and WebAPI overloading.
The conventions activate when a controller has a marker attribute.
ApiController has this attribute, so any ported code will automatically
opt-in.
Also ported some old tests for action selection to our new functional test
framework.
This change includes the basic properties that we're providing for
compatability as well as some functional tests and unit tests that verify
that ApiController can be a controller class.
