搜索预计的EF核心导航属性

使用EF Core 3.1,我试图在将其投影为其他类型后,对可为空的导航属性(也称为左联接)执行搜索。

例如:

var dtos = await query
    .Select(x => new RootEntityDto
    {
        // ...

        Nested = x.NestedId.HasValue
            ? new NestedEntityDto
            {
                // ...

                Description = x.Nested.Description
            }
            : null
    })
    .Where(x => x.Nested.Description.Contains("2"))
    .ToArrayAsync();

问题是,它给我一个三元组错误,可能有条件地导致null:

The LINQ expression 'DbSet<RootEntity>
    .LeftJoin(
        outer: DbSet<NestedEntity>, 
        inner: f => EF.Property<Nullable<int>>(f, "NestedId"), 
        outerKeySelector: o => EF.Property<Nullable<int>>(o, "Id"), 
        innerKeySelector: (o, i) => new TransparentIdentifier<RootEntity, NestedEntity>(
            Outer = o, 
            Inner = i
        ))
    .Where(f => EF.Property<Nullable<int>>(f.Inner, "Id") != null ? new NestedEntityDto{ 
        Description = f.Inner.Description, 
    }
     : null.Description.Contains("2"))' could not be translated. Either rewrite the query in a form that can be translated, or switch to client evaluation explicitly by inserting a call to either AsEnumerable(), AsAsyncEnumerable(), ToList(), or ToListAsync().

如果在将实体投影到DTO之前尝试完全相同的操作,那么我没有问题:

var entities = await query
    .Where(x => x.Nested.Description.Contains("2"))
    .ToArrayAsync();

我知道简单的解决方案是在投影发生之前执行Where语句,但这不是一种选择。为了说明本发明的目的,简化了上述示例。我也不会对评估客户端查询感兴趣,因为我不知道三元查询的更好选择。

理想情况下,我只是在寻找有条件地投影左联接导航属性的最佳实践,以便仍可以对其进行搜索。

编辑:我决定尝试使用AutoMapper 10.1.1并收到类似的错误:

var dtos = await query
    .ProjectTo<RootEntityDto>(_mapper.ConfigurationProvider, x => x.Nested)
    .Where(x => x.Nested.Description.Contains("2"))
    .ToArrayAsync();
The LINQ expression 'DbSet<RootEntity>
    .LeftJoin(
        outer: DbSet<NestedEntity>, 
        inner: f => EF.Property<Nullable<int>>(f, "NestedId"), 
        outerKeySelector: o => EF.Property<Nullable<int>>(o, "Id"), 
        innerKeySelector: (o, i) => new TransparentIdentifier<RootEntity, NestedEntity>(
            Outer = o, 
            Inner = i
        ))
    .Where(f => EF.Property<Nullable<int>>(f.Inner, "Id") == null ? null : new NestedEntityDto{ 
        Description = f.Inner.Description
    }
    .Description.Contains("2"))' could not be translated. Either rewrite the query in a form that can be translated, or switch to client evaluation explicitly by inserting a call to either AsEnumerable(), AsAsyncEnumerable(), ToList(), or ToListAsync().

EF Core 3完全改变了查询的评估方式,并且不支持所有查询构造。我怀疑在DTO投影之后尝试进行过滤是这里的根本问题。您能否通过此查询测试升级到EF Core 5的情况,并查看它是否仍然失败以及5支持更多查询模式。

我对AutoMapper的工作进行了一些研究,发现了一个有效的约定:

var dtos = await query
    .Select(x => new RootEntityDto
    {
        // ...

        Nested = x.Nested == null
            ? null
            : new NestedEntityDto
            {
                // ...

                Description = x.Nested.Description
            }
    })
    .Where(x => x.Nested.Description.Contains("2"))
    .ToArrayAsync();

注意,我反转了三元数并将切换为!x.NestedId.HasValuex.Nested == null。但是即使进行了这些更改,我仍然必须升级到EF Core 5。
