Samples

Complex Query

query = query.Query(q =>
{
    q.Compare("AuthorId", ConditionOperators.Equal, 1);
    q.And(sq =>
    {
        sq.Compare("Content", ConditionOperators.Equal, "World");
        sq.Or("Title", ConditionOperators.Contains, 3);
    });
});

Shortcuts

Shortcuts allow to avoid specifying the condition operator by having it handy in the method name

queryable.Query(t => t.Contains("FirstName", "Dav").OrContains("FirstName", "Jo"));

Simple Query

query.Where("FirstName", ConditionOperators.Equal, "David");

Simple Sorting

query = query.OrderByDescending("AuthorId");
query = query.ThenBy("Id");

Collection Filtering

You don't have to Worry about it. The library will do it for you.

var query = authors.AsQueryable();
query = query.Query(qb =>
{
    qb.NullChecking();
	// you can specify here which collection handling you wish to use Any and All is supported for now.
    qb.And("Posts.Comments.Email", ConditionOperators.Equal, "john.doe@me.com", collectionHandling: QueryCollectionHandling.Any);
});

Null Checking is automatic (practical for in memory dynamic queries)

var query = authors.AsQueryable();
query = query.Query(qb =>
{
    qb.NullChecking();
    qb.And("Posts.Comments.Email", ConditionOperators.Equal, "john.doe@me.com", collectionHandling: QueryCollectionHandling.Any);
});

Using Query Builder

// subject.
var posts = new List<Post>()
{
    new Post { Id = 1, AuthorId = 1, Title = "Hello 1", Content = "World" },
    new Post { Id = 2, AuthorId = 1, Title = "Hello 2", Content = "World" },
    new Post { Id = 3, AuthorId = 2, Title = "Hello 3", Content = "World" },
};

// the query.
var query = posts.AsQueryable();
var queryBuilder = new QueryBuilder<Post>(query);

queryBuilder.Compare("AuthorId", ConditionOperators.Equal, 1);
queryBuilder.And(subQuery =>
{
    subQuery.Compare("Content", ConditionOperators.Equal, "World");
    subQuery.Or("Title", ConditionOperators.Contains, 3);
});

query = queryBuilder.Build();

Entity Framework

Using PoweredSoft.DynamicLinq.EntityFramework it adds an helper that allows you to do the following.

var context = new <YOUR CONTEXT>();
var queryable = context.Query(typeof(Author), q => q.Compare("FirstName", ConditionOperators.Equal, "David"));
var result = queryable.ToListAsync().Result;
var first = result.FirstOrDefault() as Author;
Assert.AreEqual(first?.FirstName, "David");
