Creates a new package 'Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Abstractions' which defines
APIs and contracts for core concepts and extensibility points in MVC.
Includes:
- ModelBinding
- Validation
- Model State
- Model Metadata
- Action Descriptors
- IActionResult
- Filters
- IActionConstraint
- part 1/2 of #2294
- handle readonly non-`null` collections in relevant binders
- `CollectionModelBinder.CopyToModel()` and `MutableObjectModelBinder.AddToProperty()` methods
- handle read-only controller properties in `DefaultControllerActionArgumentBinder`
- do not copy into arrays e.g. add `CopyToModel()` override in `ArrayModelBinder`
- remove ability to set a private controller property
- confirm `SetMethod.IsPublic` in `DefaultControllerActionArgumentBinder`
- avoid NREs in `GetModel()` overrides
Test handling of readonly collections
- previous tests barely touched this scenario
- also add more tests setting controller properties
nits:
- add missing `[NotNull]` attributes
- add missing doc comments
- consolidate a few `[Fact]`s into `[Theory]`s
- simplify some wrapping; shorten a few lines
- remove dead code in `DefaultControllerActionArgumentBinder` and `ControllerActionArgumentBinderTests`
Consider
public class Person
{
[FromBody]
public Address Address { get; set; }
}
public class Address
{
[Required]
public string Street { get; set; }
public int Zip { get; set; }
}
Request body { "Zip" : 12345 }
In this case the error key would be "prefix.Address.Street" (assuming there is a prefix because of additional metadata/positioning for/of the Person model).
public class Person
{
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public void Action([FromBody]Person p)
{
}
Request body { }
In this case the prefix gets ignored and the error key is Name.
Please note this is so that we are compatible with MVC 5.0
public class Person
{
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public void Action([FromBody][ModelBinder(Name = "prefix")] Person p)
{
}
public void Action2([FromBody][Bind(Name = "prefix")] Person p)
{
}
Request body { }
In both these cases (Action and Action2) the prefix gets ignored and the error key is Name.
This is a slight improvement from mvc, as in MVC the action parameter would be null.
The followup for this would be to fix#2416 -
This PR ignores the validation assuming that #2416 will address the issues and update the test.
NOTE: previous versions of mvc did not have property binding and hence there is no precedence in this case. For MVC and Web API it was possible to body bind an action parameter which used an empty prefix instead of a parameter name for adding errors to model state (In case of MVC if a custom prefix was provided, it failed binding from body i.e the parameter was null).
This change moves [BindingBehavior(...)] and friends into the model
metadata layer, and removes the reflection code from
MutableObjectModelBinder that was looking for them previously.
Throw a meaningful exception if the attribute to copy does not exists
in the attributes of the TagHelperContext rather than:
`System.InvalidOperationException : Sequence contains no matching
element`.
Added test too.
This change adds more information to ModelAttributes, so that metadata
providers can look at the attributes on the property and type separately
if so desired
This change introduces a new property to ModelMetadata called
IsBindingRequired, which specifies whether or not a model value must be
present on the wire during model binding.
[DataMember(IsRequired = true)] is currently the only thing that will set
this property.
Updated tests and documentation for clarity on the difference in meaning
between MM.IsRequired and MM.IsBindingRequired. Moved setting for
IsRequired to ValidationMetadata which is a better fit.
Also added functional tests for [BindingBehavior] and [DataMember] in
model binding because they were totally missing.
