I add the RangeAttribute to specify a min and max value for my number input.

[Range(1, 10)]
public int Quantity { get; set; }

As expected, I get the data-val, data-val-range, data-val-range-min, and data-val-range-max attributes on my input. The client-side validation works correctly, but it seems like reasonable behavior to also set the min and max attributes. That way the browser can enforce the range so the user can't enter a bad value to begin with.

There is precedent for this with MaxLengthAttribute and StringLengthAttribute.

We can see here that the DefaultHtmlGenerator.AddMaxLengthAttribute method adds the maxlength HTML attribute when either MaxLengthAttribute or StringLengthAttribute is present.

Describe the solution you'd like

DefaultHtmlGenerator could have an AddMinAndMaxAttributes method that adds the min and max HTML attributes if the RangeAttribute is present.
