- #1468
- Always use `ModelExplorer` in `<select/>`, `DropDownListFor()` and `ListBoxFor()` cases
- allows evaluation of more-complex expressions
- Use `ViewData.Model` in `DropDownList()` and `ListBox()` template cases
- `ViewData` was previously ignored in these cases
nit: change `ViewDataDictionary.Eval()` to return `Model` if `expression` is `null` or empty
- now `throw` on `null` or empty `expression` name in `ViewDataEvaluator.Eval()`
- simplifies some of the higher-level code
- no change to `selectList` fallback; `Model` incorrect for that case
- no change to `GenerateRadioButton()`; would change behaviour unrelated to #1468
- this helper uses incorrect `ViewData` lookup text, see #1487
- see commit 9d5364c
- never correct to pass a `Func<object>` to `GetExplorerForExpression()`
- `<label/>` tests succeeded because that tag helper doesn't use expression result
- `<select/>` tests succeeded because that tag helper gets result from `ViewData`
- does not use `ModelExplorer` due to #1468
nit: update variable names `metadata` -> `modelExplorer`
- jQuery and jQuery-validation files were not being copied
- update to match more-recent VS templates
nit: simplify wwwroot/lib directory tree slightly
- #944
- name `string` expression name and `Expression<Func<TModel, TResult>>`
parameters "expression"
- single special case is `GenerateIdFromName(string fullName)` since every
other expression name is relative to the current
`ViewData,TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix` value
- applied from `IHtmlHelper` and `IHtmlGenerator` on up
- name `IHtmlHelper` and `IHtmlHelper<TModel>` parameters "htmlHelper"
- rename `TProperty` and `TValue` type parameters to `TResult`
nits:
- clean up abbreviated names in `CachedExpressionCompiler`
- change `ObjectToDictionary()`'s parameter name to `value`
- use `nameof` more to make renaming (and refactoring) easier in the future
- rewrap parameters and arguments to avoid long lines and orphans
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.
