- #4116
- generalize rules for `ModelMetadata` creation; minimize metadata changes when Model is updated
- down to a single special case in VDD for `Nullable<T>`
- note existing functional tests did not need to change
- remove `ViewDataDictionary(ViewDataDictionary, object)` constructor; use `new VDD<object>(source, model)`
- allow all `Model` assignments in a view component
- copy-constructed VDD in `ViewComponentContext` previously preserved the source's declared type
nits:
- do not call `virtual SetModel()` method from constructor; now mostly redundant
- logic in copy constructor and `SetModel()` is consistent but different enough to keep code separate
- add some missing doc comments
- fix doc comment property versus type confusion; never need to specify `ViewDataDictionary.` prefix
- fix a few `TemplateBuilder` comments and remove unnecessary `model: null` argument to VDD constructor
This changes TemplateMatcher to mutate RouteData.Values directly instead
of creating a new dictionary and then merging in values. This is one the
biggest single costs in routing in terms of both allocations and execution
time.
So Match now becomes TryMatch. This will dirty the state of the RVD, so
the caller needs to snapshot it before calling into it (handled
inside the TreeRouter or RouteCollection).
Some subtle changes were needed to how/when values are added to be
compatible with the existing tests. The general idea is that we add null
values for non-parameter defaults or catchalls, but only if they don't
trounce an existing value. This logic used to live in MergeValues but now
it's in TryMatch since TryMatch might be working from existing data.
Also fixed the .sln to avoid building a package that we use as shared
source.
