DynamicQuery.Net

Finally! the package is available for dotnet core 2.0

Making query from the client side is an antipattern, but sometimes your project is a CRUD and you know that making a client-side query doesn't make a mess to your project, for these type of situations you can use DynamicQuery.Net.

How to use

Install Nuget Package

From Package Manager

$ Install-Package DynamicQuery.Net

From .Net CLI

$ dotnet add package DynamicQuery.Net

Dynamic Filtering:

Creating FilterInput object:

var filerInput = new FilterInput
                {
                    Operation = OperationTypeEnum.GreaterThan,
                    Property = "Date",
                    Type = InputTypeEnum.String,
                    Value = "2017/04/08"
                };

if you want to filter more than one field , you can create a List of FilterInput objects

var filerInput = new List<FilterInput>
            {
                new FilterInput
                {
                    Operation = OperationTypeEnum.GreaterThan,
                    Property = "Date",
                    Type = InputTypeEnum.String,
                    Value = "2017/04/08"
                }
            };

if you want to have more than one value for a single field, you can feed Value with a List:

var filerInput = new List<FilterInput>
            {
                new FilterInput
                {
                    Operation = OperationTypeEnum.NotEqual,
                    Property = "ClassNo",
                    Type = InputTypeEnum.Number,
                    Value = new List<object>{2,3,4}
                }
            };

Using FilterInput object

Now we can use our filterInput variable:

myQueryable = myQueryable.Filter(filerInput);

Dynamic Ordering

Creating OrderInput object:

For a single field:

 var orderItem = new OrderInput {Order = OrderTypeEnum.Desc, Property = "Date"};

For a List of fields:

 var orderInput = new List<OrderInput>
            {
                new OrderInput {Order = OrderTypeEnum.Desc, Property = "Date"},
                new OrderInput {Order = OrderTypeEnum.Asc, Property = "Name"},
                new OrderInput {Order = OrderTypeEnum.Asc, Property = "ID"}
            };

Using OrderInput object:

myQueryable = myQueryable.Order(orderInput);

Both of Filtering and Ordering:

Creating and Using OrderFilterInput object

var orderFilterInput = new OrderFilterInput 
                {
                    Filter = filerInput,
                    Order = orderInput
                }
               
 myQueryable = myQueryable.Filter(orderFilterInput);

OrderFilterNonFilterInput

If you want to send some objects to the server that you won't use it as a Filter in IQueryable, you can use NonFilter Dictionary.

var nonFilterInput = new Dictionary<string, string>
            {
                {"TestName1", "TestValue1"},
                {"TestName2", "TestValue2"},
                {"TestName3", "TestValue3"}
            };

            var orderFilterNonFilterInput = new OrderFilterNonFilterInput()
            {
                Order = orderInput,
                Filter = filterInput,
                NonFilter = nonFilterInput
            };
		myQueryable = myQueryable.Filter(orderFilterNonFilterInput);

PagingInput

If you want to use paging in your filtering you can use PagingInput object :

 var paging = new PagingInput
            {
                Page = 2,
                Size = 10
            };
			
	myQueryable = myQueryable.Paging(paging);
