SmartWhere 1.0.1

SmartWhere

It intelligently filters a sequence of items in a simple and practical way.

SmartWhere is a method that aims to make the Enumerable.Where method smarter and is based on the foundations of .NET Core.

Quick Start

The usage of SmartWhere is quite simple.

1. Install SmartWhere NuGet package from here.

PM> Install-Package SmartWhere

2. You need to define our Request object for SmartWhere and sign it with the IWhereClause interface.

 public class PublisherSearchRequest : IWhereClause

3. We mark the properties to be included in the filter with the WhereClause Attribute.

public class PublisherSearchRequest : IWhereClause
{
    [WhereClause]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [WhereClause(PropertyName = "Name"]
    public string PublisherName { get; set; }

    [WhereClause("Book.Name")]
    public string BookName { get; set; }

    [WhereClause("Books.Author.Name")]
    public string AuthorName { get; set; }
}

4. And we filter smartly. That's it.

 [HttpPost]
 public IActionResult GetPublisher(PublisherSearchRequest request)
 {
     var result = _context.Set<Publisher>()
         .Include(x => x.Books)
         .ThenInclude(x => x.Author)
         .Where(request)
         .ToList();

     return Ok(result);
 }
