Upgrade to v5.2 - .NET 6, AspNetCore Owin, MVC-styled controller actions

[mattkol]

Version 5.2 upgrade begins a gradual code base move to .NET 6.

Comments are welcome.

Planned/implemented

• Move to .NET 6.

• AspNetCore Owin support - this implements a new library - Chromely.Owin and is an implementation of @amaitland Chromium.AspNetCore.Bridge. It is in essence a migration of Chromely.AspNetCore.Mvc.Example. There is also a similar implementation in EdgeSharp.

• MVC-styled controller actions - change to move from using IChromelyRequest, IChromelyResponse as controller action request/response wrappers. Developers can now define their own action arguments and response types. Basic types are supported:

  • Primitive types
  • List
  • Dictionary
  • dynamic/object
  • Models serializable by System.Text.Json

  This is extensible by implementing and registering a IChromelyModelBinder. A similar approach has been previously implemented by @RupertAvery - Chromely.Mvc. This is also implemented in EdgeSharp.

• Controller base renaming - to avoid conflict with AspNetCore Owin Mvc controller naming, Chromely base controller will be renamed ChromelyController.

• Resource folder url scheme: Currently the UrlSchemeType "Resource" maps to a relative folder in the application folder. Based on https://github.com/chromelyapps/Chromely/issues/244, UrlSchemeType "Resource" type will be split into:

  • LocalResource: this does what the current "Resource" do, using app relative path.
  • FolderResource: this allows host names to be mapped to actual folder path. e.g., "E:\img" can be mapped to "http://img"

  The only requirement is to register the Url schemes:

  UrlSchemes.Add(new UrlScheme(DefaultSchemeName.LOCALRESOURCE, "local", string.Empty, string.Empty, UrlSchemeType.LocalResource));
  UrlSchemes.Add(new UrlScheme(DefaultSchemeName.FOLDERRESOURCE, "http", "img", "E:\img", string.Empty, UrlSchemeType.FolderResource));

Nice to have:

Especially hope to support packaging into exe
