using SnapObjects.Data;
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

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

        public async Task<int> Example5()
        {
            // Get a QueryBuilder.
            var Builder = _context.SqlModelMapper.GetQueryBuilder<Person>();
            
            // Defines a subquery.
            var sqlbuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();
            sqlbuilder.Select("DepartmentID")
                .From("Department")
                .WhereValue("Name", "Economics");
                
            // Creates a WHERE clause, and adds a search condition to the WHERE clause.
            // Specifies a SQL expression on the left of the operator and a SQL 
            // subquery on the right. The operator is '='.
            Builder.Where("PersonID", sqlbuilder);
            
            var result = (await Builder.LoadAsync()).ToList();
            
            foreach (var person in result)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("PersonID:    {0}", person.PersonID);
                Console.WriteLine("FirstName:   {0}", person.FirstName);
                Console.WriteLine("LastName:    {0}", person.LastName);
                Console.WriteLine("HireDate:    {0}", person.HireDate);
                Console.WriteLine("Discriminator:   {0}", person.Discriminator);
            }
            
            return result.Count;
