- #3918
- precompute size of `StringBuilder` in `ExpressionHelper`
- reduce `string` allocations in `ViewDataEvaluator`
- also get rid of `Enumeration` state machines
- reduce the size of a few objects; use more expression-valued properties
- e.g. don't store `_modelType` in `ModelExplorer`
- add `EmptyArray<TElement>`; make empty arrays consistently `static`
- avoid `string.Split()` in HTML and tag helpers
nits:
- make `ExpressionHelperTest` tests more stringent
- correct `Message` for an `ArgumentNullException`
- remove excess `using`s in classes I touched (but often ended up leaving otherwise unchanged)
- improve doc comments
- remove `ToString()` call on a `string`
- avoid encoding `string.Empty`
- fix test file name
- remove useless variables
- correct spelling
- improve whitespace
This change renames IPropertyBindingPredicateProvider to
IPropertyFilterProvider. The changes here are mostly renames of
parameters/variables from predicate -> propertyFilter. I did a
find+replace and left the term 'predicate' in some of the docs because it
refers to a predicate in the abstract sense.
This change also simplifies BindAttribute and removes support for type
activation.
- 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
