get unobtrusive validation html attributes by ViewModelType and property name

I need to get the unobtrusive validation html attributes (data-val-required=“msg”, data-val-length, etc.) Ideally there would be a method like this: IDictionary<string, string> dict = GetUnobtrusiveValidationAttributes<TViewModel>(propName);

I would call this inside an html helper (IHtmlHelper extension method)

this issue is similar this one for MVC5 here https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetWebStack/issues/296 where I was able to find a solution, not perfect but it works.

so is this possible in ASP.net Core ?

Something like:

ModelMetadaProvider modelMetadataProvider = /* from DI */
ValidationHtmlAttributeProvider attributeProvider = /* from DI */
var modelExplorer = modelMetadataProvider.GetModelExplorerForType(typeof(TModel));

foreach (var prop in typeof(TModel).GetProperties())
{
    var propertyExplorer = modelExplorer.GetExplorerForProperty(property.Name);
    var clientAttributes = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    
    attributeProvider.AddValidationAttributes(viewContext, propertyExplorer, clientAttributes);
}

Note that I wrote this in notepad, so I’m not entirely sure it compiles
