This also fixes#1503.
Currently all model binders except mutable object binder are independent of validation code. The mutable object binder which needs to do some validation ( for scenarios involving [BindRequired] and [BindNever]).
We would be going with an approach where required validaiton happens in input formatters and model binders.
This is needed as validation for value types can best be done at creation time.
Followup PRs:
Introduce support for skipping validation (and not binding) for a particular property/type etc.
- change `AdditionalValues` type to `IDictionary<object, object>`
- copy `ModelMetadata.AdditionalValues` in `AssociatedMetadataProvider` sub-classes
nits:
- add XML comments
- correct indentation in `CachedModelMetadata`
- #1758
- provide the property bag in `ModelMetadata`; seal it in `CachedModelMetadata`
- add unit tests
- include use of `AdditionalValues` in model binding functional test
nits:
- expose `AdditionalValues` as an `IDictionary` though MVC 5 uses `Dictionary`
- seal `ModelMetadata.Properties` collection as well
- cover a few properties previously missed in `CachedDataAnnotationsModelMetadataTest`
- correct two `ModelMetadataTest` method names
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.
