namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.IQueryAndOrBuilderExamples
{
    public class OrWhereIsNotNullExample
    {
        private SchoolContext _context;
        
        public OrWhereIsNotNullExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
        {
            // Sets Data Context
            _context = dataContext;
        }

        public async Task<int> Example() 
        {
            // Get a QueryBuilder.
            var Builder = _context.SqlModelMapper.GetQueryBuilder<Person>();
            
            // Defines a WHERE condition that the column of EnrollmentDate is not empty.
            Builder.WhereIsNotNull("EnrollmentDate")
                   .OrWhereIsNotNull("HireDate");
            
            var result = (await Builder.LoadAsync()).FirstOrDefault();
            
            if (result != null) 
            {
                Console.WriteLine("PersonID:    {0}", result.PersonID);
                Console.WriteLine("FirstName:   {0}", result.FirstName);
                Console.WriteLine("LastName:    {0}", result.LastName);
                Console.WriteLine("HireDate:    {0}", result.HireDate);
                Console.WriteLine("EnrollmentDate:  {0}", result.EnrollmentDate);
                Console.WriteLine("Discriminator:   {0}", result.Discriminator);
                
                return result.PersonID;
            }
            else 
            {

                return 0;
