FlexQuery.NET.EntityFrameworkCore

NuGet Version

Async execution, filtered includes, and typed DTO projection for EF Core.

When to Use This Package

Install this package when your data access layer uses Entity Framework Core's DbContext. It enables the FlexQueryAsync extension methods that execute the full query pipeline — parse, validate, filter, sort, page, project — in a single async call against your DbSet<T>.

Installation

dotnet add package FlexQuery.NET.EntityFrameworkCore

Registration

Call once at startup, before any query executes:

using FlexQuery.NET.EntityFrameworkCore;

FlexQueryEFCore.Setup();   // registers EF Core-specific operators

// Optional: global EF Core defaults (immutable after the first call)
FlexQueryEFCore.Configure(options =>
{
    options.UseNoTracking = true;
});

Quick Start

using FlexQuery.NET.Models;

[HttpGet("users")]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetUsers(
    [FromQuery] FlexQueryParameters parameters,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    var result = await _context.Users.FlexQueryAsync(parameters, options =>
    {
        options.AllowedFields = new HashSet<string> { "Id", "Name", "Email", "Status" };
        options.StrictFieldValidation = true;
    }, cancellationToken: cancellationToken);

    return Ok(result);
}

Features

  • FlexQueryAsync — Unified parse-validate-execute pipeline with configurable EfCoreQueryOptions
  • Typed DTO Projection — FlexQueryAsync<TEntity, TResponse> returns strongly-typed results, with convention-based mapping (CreateMap, ForMember, ForNavigation)
  • Includes - Translate the QueryOptions.Includes relationship tree into EF Core Include/ThenInclude chains, each optionally filtered by an inline Where clause, via ApplyIncludes<T>()
  • Projection — Nested, Flat, and FlatMixed projection modes
  • Execution Options — UseNoTracking for read-only queries (enabled by default)
  • SQL Preview — ToSqlPreview() to inspect the generated SQL without executing
  • Diagnostics — Pass an IFlexQueryExecutionListener via the options to observe pipeline stages
  • EF Core Operators — UseEfCoreOperators() to register the LIKE operator handler for EF Core translation
