- add `CachedDataAnnotationsMetadataAttributes.UIHint`
- set `ModelMetadata.TemplateHint` using `UIHintAttribute` or `HiddenInputAttribute`
- add doc comments for `TemplateHint`-related properties and methods
- add unit tests and use these attributes in functional tests
nits:
- cache and seal `CachedModelMetadata.IsCollectionType`
- correct doc comments for `ModelMetadata.RealModelType`
- add doc comments for `IsCollectionType`-related properties and methods
- add doc comments for `IsComplexType`-related properties and methods
- move `CachedModelMetadata.IsComplexType` right below `IsCollectionType`
- same for related fields and methods
This is a major refactor of how IBinderMetadata interacts with model
binders and value providers. We're doing this to support better
extensibility for metadata in ApiExplorer.
You'll notice a bunch of deleted code in DefaultApiDescriptionProvider
that maps metadata marker interfaces to a fixed list of Api sources. This
is replaced now with IBindingSourceMetadata - which also replaces the
hierarchy of marker interfaces. Now user code can create an arbitrary
binding source and have a consistent API for model-binders,
value-providers and full-visibility in ApiExplorer as
well.
Additonally, there's some error checking in place that better enforces the
constraints we already have in the system. IE you can't create a 'greedy'
model binder that uses value-provider data.
Two additional enhancements are planned for followup PRs:
1. Add a BindingSource property to model-metadata. This will remove some
duplication, but I want to delay it because it would touch another 10 or
so files.
2. Add an extensibility interface for our 'special' model binders like the
file binder so these can show up in ApiExplorer as well.
Substituted all instances of [MemberData("PropertyName")] for [MemberData(nameof(PropertyName))]
This change enables us to take advantage of IDE features like Navigate to source,
find all references, etc. When using Visual Studio.
- `DisplayFormatString` and `EditFormatString` now based on attributes
- `HasNonDefaultEditFormat` is new
- confirm `DataType` and `ScaffoldColumn` in `CachedDataAnnotationsMetadataAttributes`
