Integration of my features

[wald-tq]

Hi Rich,

Do you want to incorporate my features in my branch? Some additional work is needed in:

• fixing the tests
• CamelCaseProperties is not included (I don't think this belongs in this library)
• Add tests for error messages from resource files (I don't know how they are used)
• Documentation changes

The Features I implemented:

• Get rid of creating Json string by hand
• Add support for hierarchical view models using a custom attribute
• Add a feature to configure the error messages using an array for the ordering of the lookup

I am afraid I can't spit each feature off and provide independent pull-requests because of the lack in time.

Right now I am now building my own nuget package and use it in my project.

Regards, Thomas

My latest feature, the configuration of the error messages came also a bigger refactoring which simplifies the function signatures a lot.

The ResourceNamespace and ResourceAssemblyName doesn't need to get passed around anymore.

You can now add the error Message formatter like this in the Controller:

            ValidationHelper._errorMessageFormatter = new List<IErrorMessageFormatter> {
                new AttributeErrorMessageFormatter(),
                new ResourceErrorMessageFormatter{ResourceNamespace = "Namespace", ResourceAssemblyName = "Assembly"},
                new DefaultErrorMessageFormatter(),
            };
            var valHelper = new ValidationHelper();
            object jsonObject = valHelper.GetValidations(dtoObjectName, "AATestAPI.Models", "AATestAPI");

Sorry, I've been studying for certification exams. Done now and hope to look at this soon. I'd like to implement your stuff, I just need a chunk of time. Thanks for your work!
