ASP.NET Core 2 – Global Model Validation ⚠️

Inside of our controller actions we usually check if the model is valid by using ModelState property available on MVC’s base controller class :

if (!ModelState.IsValid)  
  return BadRequest(ModelState);

The bad thing about is that we repeat this piece of code throughout a lot of our actions. ❌

How we can make it better❓

This article shows you how to validate ModelState with a global filter. 💎
