This is the first step is some more refactorings to come in the future
with the goal of making MVC less monolythic. This makes the core of MVC
more reusable and more in line with the design of other vNext platform
components.
With this change, Mvc.Core contains just the minimal guts needed to build
a working app.
- Action Discovery
- Action Invoker
- Filters
- ObjectResult
- Model Metadata
- Model Binding
- Formatters
- Validation System
And yes, we are aware of the irony of 'minimal MVC' not including the view
system. The idea is that this is the kernel of an MVC app, and anything
real is layered on top.
The most noticable impact of this change is that MvcOptions has been blown
apart into more managable chunks. See the various ConfigureMvc*** methods.
The new Mvc.Extensions package is a placeholder while we evaluate and tune
the new definitions. Expect more changes as features are move to their own
packages, and in some case their own repositories.
For now there is no experience to bootstrap an Mvc.Core app. That's coming
next.
This change adds a [Required] client validator when
ModelMetadata.IsRequired == true. The bulk of the changes here are
mechanical updates to test files.
Also ensures that when a type is marked as skipped, any sub property which is model bound (and hence a modelstate un validated entry),
is marked as skipped (otherwise it would cause the ModelState to be invalid).
Also fixing a bug in model state dictionary FindKeyWithPrefix was not considering [0] & [0][0] as a valid prefix.
