- #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
* Added TagHelperFeature and TagHelperFeatureProvider to perform tag helper discovery.
* Changed tag helper discovery to use application parts when using tag helpers as services.
* Added FeatureTagHelperTypeResolver to resolve tag helper type definitions from the list of application parts.
* Added AddTagHelpersAsServices extension method on IMvcBuilder and IMvcCoreBuilder that
performs tag helper discovery through the ApplicationPartManager and registers those tag helpers as
services in the service collection. Assemblies should be added to the ApplicationPartManager
in order to discover tag helpers in them in them. The @addTagHelper directive is still required on
Razor pages to indicate what tag helpers to use.
- remove duplicate `null` checks in `ViewDataDictionary` constructors
- correct a couple of code comments
- use a `public` constructor for `ViewDataDictionary` in `ViewExecutor`
* Remove IAssemblyProvider.
* Remove DefaultAssemblyProvider in favor of DefaultAssemblyPartDiscoveryProvider.
* Update AddMvcDnx to add the list of DNX discovered assemblies to the list of application parts.
* Added ViewComponentFeture and ViewComponentFeatureProvider to perform view component discovery.
* Changed view component discovery to use application parts.
* Changed ViewComponentDescriptorProvider to make use of Application parts.
* Added AddViewComponentsAsServices method on IMvcBuilder that performs view component
discovery through the ApplicationPartManager and registers those view components as
services in the service collection. Assemblies should be added to the ApplicationPartManager
in order to discover view components in them in them.
* Added ControllerFeature and ControllerFeatureProvider to perform controller discovery.
* Changed controller discovery to use application parts.
* Changed ControllerActionDescriptorProvider to make use of Application parts.
* Simplified AddControllerAsServices to not accept any parameter and perform
controller discovery through the ApplicationPartManager in the IMvcBuilder
and IMvcCoreBuilder. Assemblies should be added to the ApplicationPartManager
in order to discover controllers in them.
