This change removes the IActionContextAccessor as a dependency of
UrlHelper, and shifts UrlHelper to use a factory pattern. Consumers of
IUrlHelper should create an instance using the factory when needed.
This is the last part of MVC that has a dependency on IActionContext
accessor. As part of this change we no longer register it by default, and
treat it as an optional component.
This change resolves#3512 and #3636 by removing 'magic' link generation
and adding an extension method to add routes to areas correctly using the new
pattern. This is pretty much exactly the same as how MapWebApiRoute works.
For site authors, we recommend adding area-specific routes in a way that
includes a default AND constraint for the area. Put your most specific
(for link generation) routes FIRST.
Ex:
routes.MapRoute(
"Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id?}",
defaults: new { area = "Admin" },
constraints: new { area = "Admin" });
The bulk of the changes here are to tests that unwittingly relied on the
old behavior.
Abstractions - Core MVC extensibility
Controllers - MVC implementations of .Abstractions and supporting
contracts
Infrastructure - General purpose support APIs. Metadata APIs that don't
fit clearly with a feature or with .Abstraction
