The View Engine now needs to know about pages :(. This isn't ideal but the
view engine needs to know what set of search paths to use. This was
already hardcoded for controllers vs controllers + areas. It felt right to
further hardcode instead of introduce a wierd abstraction that we only
use.
Additionally pages use a view location expander to implement an ascending
directory search.
- #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 splits up the conventional routing path from the attribute
routing path *inside* routing, instead of inside `MvcRouteHandler`. Each
attribute route group now gets its own instance of
`MvcAttributeRouteHandler` which just knows about the actions it can
reach.
This removes the concept of a route-group-token and removes the lookup
table entirely for attribute routing. This also means that the
`DefaultHandler` on `IRouteBuilder` will not be used for attribute routes,
which we are OK with for 1.0.0.
The action selector's functionality is now split into two methods. We
think this is OK for 1.0.0 because any customization of `IActionSelector`
up to now had to implement virtually the same policy as ours in order to
work with attribute routing. It should now be possible to customize the
selector in a meaningful way without interfering with attribute routing.
