- #964
- compute `ModelMetadata.Order` based on `[Display]` attribute
- property affects e.g. `@Html.DisplayFor()` generation for complex objects
- also affects order of messages in validation summaries
- test new scenarios involving `ModelMetadata.Order`
- per-property `ModelMetadata` and related tests
- validation and `HtmlHelper` tests
- add `HtmlHelperValidationSummaryTest` (which touches on #453)
- update ModelBinding functional test to show use of `[Display(Order = x)]`
nits:
- move more `NullDisplayText` bits into proper slots (just above `Order`)
- add doc comments for `ComputeNullDisplayText()`
- add more assertions in tests using `ModelStateDictionary.HasReachedMaxErrors`
- remove some trailing whitespace
- avoid `Assert.True()` & `Assert.False()`; split some assertions up
- `""` -> `string.Empty` in affected test classes
- rename "DefaultEditorTemplatesTest~~s~~" class and file to follow guidelines
- rename "ModelBindingTest~~s~~" class and file to follow guidelines
FYI #1888 covers a predictable (or even just stable) order in the UI
Changes here are all focused around MaxModelErrors on
ModelStateDictionary.
MaxAllowedErrors now defaults to 200 (same as options). This means that
constructing a new ModelStateDictionary with the default constructor will
use this default. There's a new constructor for creating a
MaxAllowedErrors with a non-default value.
The ControllerActionArgumentBinder is now responsible for setting the
value from options onto ActionContext.ModelState. This results in better
layering and guarantees the option is respected if someone uses
extensibility to call model binding.
ModelStateDictionary.CanAddErrors is renamed to MaxErrorsReached. We
wanted to change the behavior of this property, but realized that it's
very useful inside the model validation code, so opted to renamed.
There's also a bunch of doc cleanup inside ModelStateDictionary to
simplify things and improve clarity.
There are several portions of model validation that attempt to avoid
revalidating if a field has been validated. However the behavior of
ModelStateDictionary makes it difficult to distinguish between an
unvalidated field and a field without validation errors. This change
resolves this issue by letting the caller distinguish between the two
cases.
