Intent.AspNetCore.OData.EntityFramework

This module adds OData Query support to your domain designers, specifically to Entitys.

What is OData Query?

OData Query is a URL-based query language used to filter, sort, and retrieve specific information from resources exposed through OData APIs. These queries follow a specific syntax based on URL parameters. The language enables developers to perform operations like filtering, sorting, selecting specific fields, and navigating relationships between entities.

This functionality is implemented using the Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData NuGet package.

For more information on OData querying, refer to the official documentation.

This module works in conjunction with Intent.EntityFrameworkCore.

Domain Designer

To leverage OData Query functionality, simply apply the Expose As OData stereotype to the relevant Entitys in the domain designer.

The stereotype must meet the following criteria:

• The Class must be part of a repository.

Using the "Expose As OData" Options

By default, all options are enabled. Checking any of these options will add the corresponding Controller Action Method to each {Entity}Controller.

What's in This Module?

This module consumes your Expose As OData-enabled Entitys, which you design in the Domain Designer, and generates the following:

• Container registrations for OData infrastructure, enabling all OData options within the container.
• Entity mapping, including any composite Entitys.
• A controller for each Entity.
• Action methods added to controllers based on the configured options.
• Swashbuckle/Swagger integration, updating the Swagger schema to include OData query parameter options.
• Compatible with Intent.AspNetCore.ODataQuery.

  Note: All ODataOptions in your container registration will be enabled.
