IEmbeddedLoadable<TModel> Interface

.NET Standard 2.x

Provides a series of methods for manipulating the data in the embedded properties of TModel.

Namespace: SnapObjects.Data

Assembly: SnapObjects.Data.dll

Syntax

  public interface IEmbeddedLoadable<TModel>;

Properties

Name	Return type	Description
MasterModel	TModel	Gets a reference to the master model instance which is an argument when the ISqlModelMapper.TrackMaster method is called.

Methods

Name	Return type	Description
Include(Expression<Func<TModel, object>> property, bool cascade = false)	IEmbeddedLoadable<TModel>	Loads data for the specified embedded property in TModel for all rows.
IncludeAll(bool cascade = false)	IEmbeddedLoadable<TModel>	Loads data for the embedded properties in TModel for all rows.

Remarks

The ISqlModelMapper.LoadEmbedded method will return an IEmbeddedLoadable object whose methods can be used to manipulate the data in the embedded properties of TModel.

For example, the IEmbeddedLoadable.Include method can be used to load the data for an embedded property of TModel.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to load students who have selected the Poetry course.

using Appeon.ApiDoc.Models.School;
using System;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.IEmbeddedLoadableExamples
{
    public class IEmbeddedLoadableExample
    {
        private SchoolContext _context;

        public IEmbeddedLoadableExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
        {
            // Sets the data context.
            _context = dataContext;
        }

        public void Example()
        {
            var mapper = _context.SqlModelMapper;

            // Loads the course of Poetry (Course ID = 2030).
            var course = mapper.LoadByKey<CourseInfo>(2030).FirstOrDefault();

            // Loads students.
            var students = mapper.LoadEmbedded(course)
                                .Include(o=>o.Students)
                                .MasterModel
                                .Students;

            foreach (CourseStudentInfo student in students)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Course ID is {0}.",
                    student.CourseID);
                Console.WriteLine("Student ID is {0}.",
                    student.StudentID);
            }

            /*The code produces the following output is
            
            Course ID is 2030.
            Student ID is 2.
            Course ID is 2030.
            Student ID is 3.
            */
        }
    }
