EF避免将导航属性附加到DTO

在我的EF数据模型中,我有一个Location实体和LocationType实体。位置具有FkLocationTypeID属性。现在,如果我从API端点返回一个Location对象,它将返回一个大对象,所有导航属性都附加到该对象。因此,我创建了LocationDto以仅返回我想要的那些属性。我的DTO看起来像这样:

 public class LocationDto
{
    public int LocationId { get; set; }
    public LocationDto ParentLocation { get; set; }
    public LocationType LocationType { get; set; }
    public string LocationName { get; set; }
    public string LocationCode { get; set; }
    // other properties here
}

现在问题是-我的DTO中有一个LocationType属性,它是一个EF对象。添加它的那一刻,由于与LocationType的所有关联,我的JSON又很长。

有没有办法避免这种情况,只检索LocationType对象?

以下是包含LocationType之后我的json的样子。

  • 请勿将EF模型和DTO混用!
  • 在单独的命名空间(项目,程序集)中创建完整的DTO集
  • 使用映射器(即自动映射或类似工具)在EF模型和DTO之间进行映射
