What is the recommended way to integrate JsonPatchExceptions with ASP.NET Core?

[snebjorn]

If patchDocument.ApplyTo(objectToUpdate); throws In your controller what is the recommended way to handle that?

I was thinking something like

try 
{
    patchDocument.ApplyTo(objectToUpdate)
}
catch (JsonPatchException e)
{
    ModelState.AddModelError(e);
}

There's an override of ApplyTo that takes modelstate: https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/blob/dev/src/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Json/JsonPatchExtensions.cs

I totally missed that. Thank you!
