我正在为EF bool应用创建搜索功能。我正在使用动态查询创建它。并遵循此方法https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/493917/Dynamic-Querying-with-LINQ-to-Entities-and-Express

用于为实体的stringApplicant字段创建谓词。我的应用中的主要实体是Applicant

EDMX public partial class Applicant { public Applicant() { this.ApplicantEducations = new HashSet<ApplicantEducation>(); this.ApplicantSkills = new HashSet<ApplicantSkill>(); this.Applications = new HashSet<Application>(); this.Experiences = new HashSet<Experience>(); } public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public byte[] CV_Upload1 { get; set; } public string CV_Upload2 { get; set; } public string email { get; set; } public string password { get; set; } public Nullable<System.DateTime> DOB { get; set; } virtual ICollection<ApplicantEducation> ApplicantEducations { get; set; } virtual ICollection<ApplicantSkill> ApplicantSkills { get; set; } virtual ICollection<Application> Applications { get; set; } virtual ICollection<Experience> Experiences { get; set; } } 正在关注

   public partial class ApplicantEducation
{
    public int id { get; set; }
    public Nullable<int> ApplicantId { get; set; }
    public Nullable<int> InstituteId { get; set; }
    public Nullable<int> EducationLevelId { get; set; }
    public Nullable<bool> IsComplete { get; set; }
    public Nullable<System.DateTime> DateStart { get; set; }
    public Nullable<System.DateTime> DateEnd { get; set; }
    public Nullable<short> GPA { get; set; }

    public virtual EducationLevel EducationLevel { get; set; }
    public virtual Institute Institute { get; set; }
    public virtual Applicant Applicant { get; set; }
}

我想搜索,即在申请人类型学院的教育机构中提交的机构名称。申请人可以拥有一个或多个ApplicantEducations对象。

以下是我的申请人教育的EDMX课程

public class Institute
  {
         public int Id { get; set; }
         public string Name { get; set; }

  }

我的学院实体课就像这样

     private static Expression<Func<TDbType, bool>> ApplyStringCriterion<TDbType,
        TSearchCriteria>(TSearchCriteria searchCriteria, PropertyInfo searchCriterionPropertyInfo,
        Type dbType, MemberInfo dbFieldMemberInfo, Expression<Func<TDbType, bool>> predicate)
    {
        // Check if a search criterion was provided
        var searchString = searchCriterionPropertyInfo.GetValue(searchCriteria) as string;
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(searchString))
        {
            return predicate;
        }
        // Then "and" it to the predicate.
        // e.g. predicate = predicate.And(x => x.firstName.Contains(searchCriterion.FirstName)); ...
        // Create an "x" as TDbType
        var dbTypeParameter = Expression.Parameter(dbType, @"x");
        // Get at x.firstName
        var dbFieldMember = Expression.MakeMemberAccess(dbTypeParameter, dbFieldMemberInfo);
        // Create the criterion as a constant
        var criterionConstant = new Expression[] { Expression.Constant(searchString) };
        // Create the MethodCallExpression like x.firstName.Contains(criterion)
        var containsCall = Expression.Call(dbFieldMember, StringContainsMethod, criterionConstant);
        // Create a lambda like x => x.firstName.Contains(criterion)
        var lambda = Expression.Lambda(containsCall, dbTypeParameter) as Expression<Func<TDbType, bool>>;
        // Apply!
        return predicate.And(lambda);
    }

因此,用户将通过指定学院名称进行搜索,所有申请人将通过该学院的教育进行检索。

正如我上面提到的链接。下面举例说明了字符串字段谓词构建

linq

上面的代码,用于构建主实体类(申请人)中包含的简单字符串字段的谓词。但申请人也有ApplicantEducation集合,所以我的问题是如何为 public class SearchCriteriaVM { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public DateTime? DOB { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public ICollection<Models.ApplicantEducationVM> ApplicantEducations { get; set; } public ICollection<Models.ExperienceVM> Experiences { get; set; } public ICollection<Models.ApplicantSkillsVM> ApplicantSkills { get; set; } public ICollection<Models.ApplicationsVM> Applications { get; set; } } 的where子句(方法)创建动态查询(谓词),因此当用户搜索学院名称时,所有申请人都将获得相同的教育。

我的搜索条件如下:

.then()

我有点失落,怎么可能。

您可以使用以下方法在Lambda表达式中创建 Dynamic Where子句

public ActionResult GetRecords(int? classId, string name, bool isAll = false)
{
    var allRecords = repository.Students;

    if (!isAll)
    {
        //Retrieve active records only
        allRecords = allRecords.Where(m => m.StatusId == 1);
    }
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(name))
    {
        allRecords = allRecords.Where(m => m.Name.StartsWith(name));
    }
    if (classId.HasValue)
    {
        allRecords = allRecords.Where(m => m.ClassId == classId);
    }
    // other stuff
}

同样,可以应用以下方法,以便仅检索以“query”参数值开头的记录,并在“query”参数值时检索所有记录为空:

IQueryable<StudentViewModel> students = repository.Students.Select(m => 
    new StudentViewModel
{
    Id = m.Id,
    Name = m.Name + " " + m.Surname
});
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(query))
{
    students = students.Where(m => m.Name.StartsWith(query));
}

或“表现不佳”的另一种方式:

.Where(m => string.IsNullOrEmpty(query) || m.Name.StartsWith(query));

希望这会有所帮助......

在您的案例中,我们需要的基本功能是使用EF的动态查询构建器。即一种基本的“匹配”方法,它包含作为IQueryable格式的数据,搜索术语以及用于过滤记录的属性。我们需要在代码中使用“ 匹配 ”方法。

 public static IQueryable<T> Match<T>(
    IQueryable<T> data,
    string searchTerm,
    IEnumerable<Expression<Func<T, string>>> filterProperties)
{
    var predicates = filterProperties.Select(selector =>
            selector.Compose(value => 
                value != null && value.Contains(searchTerm)));
    var filter = predicates.Aggregate(
        PredicateBuilder.False<T>(),
        (aggregate, next) => aggregate.Or(next));
    return data.Where(filter);
}

要构建此表达式方法,我们需要一个 Compose 方法,以便它可以接受需要搜索的参数。

public static Expression<Func<TFirstParam, TResult>>
    Compose<TFirstParam, TIntermediate, TResult>(
    this Expression<Func<TFirstParam, TIntermediate>> first,
    Expression<Func<TIntermediate, TResult>> second)
{
    var param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TFirstParam), "param");

    var newFirst = first.Body.Replace(first.Parameters[0], param);
    var newSecond = second.Body.Replace(second.Parameters[0], newFirst);

    return Expression.Lambda<Func<TFirstParam, TResult>>(newSecond, param);
}

这将组成并返回一个lambda表达式,但要构建此方法,我们需要“ 替换 ”扩展方法。顾名思义,此方法将一个表达式的所有实例替换为另一个表达式。

public static Expression Replace(this Expression expression,
    Expression searchEx, Expression replaceEx)
{
    return new ReplaceVisitor(searchEx, replaceEx).Visit(expression);
}
internal class ReplaceVisitor : ExpressionVisitor
{
    private readonly Expression from, to;
    public ReplaceVisitor(Expression from, Expression to)
    {
        this.from = from;
        this.to = to;
    }
    public override Expression Visit(Expression node)
    {
        return node == from ? to : base.Visit(node);
    }
}

回到实际的“匹配”方法,我们需要一个谓词构建器,它将帮助我们呈现与搜索相关的AND,OR查询。

因此,谓词构建器将如下所示:

 public static class PredicateBuilder
{
    public static Expression<Func<T, bool>> True<T>() { return f => true; }
    public static Expression<Func<T, bool>> False<T>() { return f => false; }

    public static Expression<Func<T, bool>> Or<T>(
        this Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr1,
        Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr2)
    {
        var secondBody = expr2.Body.Replace(
            expr2.Parameters[0], expr1.Parameters[0]);
        return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>
              (Expression.OrElse(expr1.Body, secondBody), expr1.Parameters);
    }

    public static Expression<Func<T, bool>> And<T>(
        this Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr1,
        Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr2)
    {
        var secondBody = expr2.Body.Replace(
            expr2.Parameters[0], expr1.Parameters[0]);
        return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>
              (Expression.AndAlso(expr1.Body, secondBody), expr1.Parameters);
    }
}

因此,我们需要的是匹配方法,然后根据您的要求运行。
