This part of the change removes default value support from ModelBinding.
Updated some unit tests to verify that it does nothing in that case.
Deleted a functional test as it was pure duplication of another
(supported) case where the property has a pre-initialized value.
This change simplifies InputFormatterContext/OutputFormatterContext by
swapping ActionContext for HttpContext.
This change is important especially for InputFormatterContext as it
decouples ModelState from ActionContext - allowing us to fix a
related bug where the _wrong_ ModelState can be passed in for a
TryUpdateModel operation.
Add SerializerSettings to MvcOptions and pass those options to the JsonInputFormatter and JsonOutputFormatter.

This change applies the 'override' semantic to attribute routes on virtual
methods.
A method override can either inherit attribute routes from a base
definition, or can replace them. It's not possible to inherit routes and
also add to them.
The change here is to make an attribute route defined on a base class
inherited only if no other routes were defined 'closer' to the controller
class.
To put another way, attribute routes can either be inherited or
overridden, you can't inherit + add your own.
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).
The fix splits client validation and model validation into two separate hierarchies.
Introduced ClientModelValidatorProvider in MvcOptions, which can be iterated to produce IClientModelValidators.
As a result of this, HtmlGenerator code can be free of ActionBindingContext and directly consumes options.
This also means that we do not modify the client validations during resource filters.
- #2261
- include `short`, `ushort`, `float`, `double`
- correct typo in `<input/>` tag helper; ignored calculated format
- only one test for `<input/>`'s calculated format 😦
- fill some `Editor*()` and `<input/>` tag helper test gaps
nit: clean up some trailing whitespace
- add `IHtmlGenerator.GetCurrentValues()` method
- bring together bits of `GenerateSelect()` and `UpdateSelectListItemsWithDefaultValue()`
- get rid of ugly `out` parameter
- also allows `<option/>` tag helpers to run before `<select/>` helper generation
- match `null` values and `SelectListItem`s with empty values
- match `enum` names correctly
- add doc comments for `IHtmlGenerator.GenerateSelect()` methods
This change removes reflection from validator providers, and instead
relies on cached metadata in in the modelmetadata.
In general this means that our MVPs don't need to cache anything, they
just look at the metadata and create what they need.
In the case of data-annotations, we update the model details provider to
add validation attributes to the modelmetadata. This would allow someone
to replace the DataAnnotationsValidatorProvider, but still use the
metadata in these attributes.
The change to the IModelValidatorProvider api (to use a context) is
intended to minimize allocations. Currently each validator provider needs
to return a list so you end up with N+1 lists (N validators + a final list
to compine them all). This change will let us just create the final list
(and a small context object). This is a very very high traffic API so it
seemed worth doing.
There's also some general massaging of namespaces and file locations.
- use named parameters more often
- add more comments about returned `ModelBindingResult`
- clean up `ModelBindingResult` doc comments
- cleanup `using`s
Nits:
- cleanup trailing whitespace
- change `retVal` -> `result` in `KeyValuePairModelBinderTest`
Separates the MMP into two phases:
1). Creation of the ModelMetadata, discovery of properties and attributes
(reflection) is part of the MMP
2). Lookup of details based on attributes is now part of another phase,
and has its results cached.
Users can now implements and register an IFooMetadataProvider to customize
a single aspect of metadata (see how data annotations does it).
- #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`
This change provides caching for the results of searching for view
components and discovering their names.
In our ViewComponent perf test, selecting the component type was about 25%
of the execution of MVC (due to uncached reflection). This change brings
that down to about 1%.
This is a small change to remove uncached reflection. There are some other
code paths where use of view components results in a hotspot. Leaving
those issues to be tracked as part of a larger design issue.
- #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.
- #524
- add tests of `DropDownList` and `ListBox` HTML helpers
- extend tests of `<select/>` tag helper
- add scenario to a functional test
New `HtmlHelperSelectTest` does not cover everything. In future (see #453):
- use non-`null` `optionLabel` and `htmlAttributes` arguments
- confirm value sources and their priorities
- mock an `IHtmlGenerator` and confirm how it is called
- mock an `IHtmlHelper` and confirm how extension methods call that
services
* Added WithControllersFromServiceProvider that replaces the default
controller activator with a service based one.
* Move activation to DefaultControllerFactory
* Modify [Activate] behavior so that it no longer activates services. Use
[FromService] attribute to hydrate services
Fixes#1707
Attribute route link generation will now have a slight preference for
entries that can use ambient values (vs ignoring an ambient value). This
means that areas will be more 'sticky' with regard to link generation
without the need to specify a better Order.
This change makes the attribute route capable of responding to updates in
the action descriptor collection.
The change moves the actual route implementation to InnerAttributeRoute.
AttributeRoute now wraps an InnerAttributeRoute - when processing a route,
AttributeRoute will now check with action descriptor collection if its
InnerAttributeRoute is still 'current' and rebuild it if necessary.
