[HxInputBase] Allow for CustomValidation Context and Propety and Add LabelType into application-wide Defaults

#872

Input components (HxInputBase descendants) that do not support LabelType:

• HxCheckbox, HxSwitch
• HxCheckboxList, HxRadioButtonList
• HxInputDateRange
• HxInputRange
• HxInputSelect - can we add support here?

...Adding LabelType to InputSettings will introduce this property to the settings/defaults of all inputs, which could lead to some confusion. I'm considering an alternative approach by adding a brand new ambient defaults such as HxSetup.Defaults.LabelType and HxSetup.Defaults.InputSize. I'll discuss this with my colleagues.

@mmonteagudo Thanks a lot for your contribution! It made me further develop the idea of "global defaults for all inputs," and I’ve added HxSetup.Defaults for these global settings, which currently allow setting LabelType and InputSize.

Apologies for not accepting the custom validation parameters idea. I’m concerned that this feature could introduce more issues than the value it adds. We might revisit this later, but for now, I’ve decided against it, as there are possible workarounds that can help you achieve the same goal without the proposed changes.

No worries, I understand.

That's an important feature for our implementation, so we are using it from our fork of Havit, so we just keep it up to date with latest updates and deploy a new package in our private package manager.

I do have a couple of customizations that works for our specific implementation, so I understand. :), Thanks for accepting the other change, that one was pretty important too.
