can we get unobtrusive validation attributes by ViewModel Type

[Valentin Plamadeala]

I know there's
html.GetUnobtrusiveValidationAttributes(name, metadata)
and this method only works when html was called by the EditorFor helper
I need something like
var dict = html.GetUnobtrusiveValidationAttributes<ViewModel1>(propName);
(and I would call it in a loop for each viewmodel property)
is it possible to achieve this ?

I managed to do it like this:

        public static IHtmlString GetVld<TModel>(this HtmlHelper html)
        {
            ...

            foreach (var prop in typeof(TModel).GetProperties())
            {
                var attributes = new Dictionary<string, object>();
            
                Func<string, ModelMetadata, IEnumerable<ModelClientValidationRule>> ClientValidationRuleFactory 
                    = (name, metadata) => ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.GetValidators(metadata ?? ModelMetadata.FromStringExpression(name, html.ViewData), html.ViewContext).SelectMany(v => v.GetClientValidationRules());

                var clientRules = ClientValidationRuleFactory(prop.Name, null);
                UnobtrusiveValidationAttributesGenerator.GetValidationAttributes(clientRules, attributes);

the only problem now is that the call to @Html.GetVld<MyVM>() has to be in a view with @model TModel, otherwise it doesn't work
for example doing:
var html2 = new HtmlHelper<TModel>(html.ViewContext, html.ViewDataContainer); and after using html2 instead of html won't help
