In my asp.net mvc application i have service layer, which operated with business object, pass its to repository layer and return to controller. No i can't decide where i need to validate object. First place - use data annotation validation with attribute of component model annotation in business objects class, for example:
[AcceptVerbs("POST")]
public ActionResult Edit(Source src)
{
if(!ModelState.IsValid){
return View("EditSource", src);
_sourceService.SaveSource(src);
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
[MetadataType(typeof(Source.MetaSource))]
public class Source
{
private class MetaSource
{
[Required]
public string Name { set; get; }
[Required]
public string Url { set; get; }
}
public int? ID { set; get; }
public string Name { set; get; }
public string Url { set; get; }
public Source()
{
ID = null;
}
Second way - validate objects in service layer, by passing validation dictionary to service layer, for example:
[AcceptVerbs("POST")]
public ActionResult Edit(Source src)
{
if (!_sourceService.ValidateSource(src)){
return View("EditSource", src);
_sourceService.SaveSource(src);
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
public bool ValidateSource(Source srcToValidate)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(srcToValidate.Name))
_validationDictionary.AddError("Name", "Name is required.");
else
if (srcToValidate.Name.Trim().Length == 0)
_validationDictionary.AddError("Name", "Name is required.");
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(srcToValidate.Url))
_validationDictionary.AddError("Url", "Url is required.");
else
if (srcToValidate.Url.Trim().Length == 0)
_validationDictionary.AddError("Url", "Url is required.");
return _validationDictionary.IsValid;
}
I think of create client side validation, and add localization to validation errors, also i need create custom rules with calls to database, etc. What pros and cons of this 2 way, or maybe I need choose another way ?
The asp.net website offers guidance for three cases:
These are probably worth reading before making any decisions.
Definitely worth reading up on the various options - choose whichever you think best suits your needs and style.
However, you will almost certainly end up creating a validation function on your service at some point to cope with business rules, so that may be the tie-breaker :-)
