query with lambda expressions and one parameter is null










0















I want to do a query with lambda expression.
My database is a Cosmos DB.
I want to filter for two parameters and one of the two can be null.



For example i want to search for name and lastname and one of both is null.



This is that I am trying:



var result = this._client.CreateDocumentQuery<Person>(
UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri(_idDatabase, _idCollection), queryOptions)
.Where((f) => f.Name == Name && f.LastName == lastName )
.AsEnumerable()
.ToList();

          So this?



          var result = this._client.CreateDocumentQuery<Person>(
          UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri(_idDatabase, _idCollection), queryOptions)
          .Where((f) => (f.Name == Name || (f.Name == null && f.LastName != null)) && (f.LastName == lastName || (f.LastName == null && f.Name != null))
          .AsEnumerable()
          .ToList();

            Sorry what? Are you expecting us to give you a complete elegant solution for a basic C# question? StackOverflow is not meant for that. You have the pointer, and a valid answer to your question. You can take it from there. A quick refactoring would be to extract the predicate to it's own function and reuse it.

          • Maybe this solution works, but I agree to CMorillo that this is not the cleaneast way and hard to maintain. Here, this solution wouldn't pass a code review.

          • @SNO It's not meant to. I think you are missing the point. SO doesn't provide complete solutions to requests. It provides answers to questions. Having a property called Name and another one LastName also wouldn't pass a code review. Same goes for single line if statements like this if(Name != null) iPerson = iPerson.Where(f => f.Name == Name);, but that's not the point, is it?

          • Still doesn't match his question. He said, "I want to filter for two parameters and one of the two can be null.". Your solution can work when both of them are null too.

          Maybe you can work with IQueryable:



          IQueryable<Person> iPerson = this._client.CreateDocumentQuery<Person>(
          UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri(_idDatabase, _idCollection), queryOptions);

          if(Name != null) iPerson = iPerson.Where(f => f.Name == Name);
          if(lastName != null) iPerson = iPerson.Where(f => f.LastName == lastName)
          return iPerson.AsEnumerable().ToList();

          • The CosmosDB SDK doesn't play nicely with the Equals method. It throws a NotSupported exception when it does the LINQ to SQL conversion. On top of that, youe queryable will actutually return nothing because a simple ToList() won't work. The SDK needs an Enumerable before it can return data with the ToList method. It's weird. Also also, he said that he wants the filter to work when one of the two is null not potentially both.

            Nov 12 '18 at 15:24











          • one of the two CAN be null. And what is when both are null or both are set? And again, this should give CMorillo an idea how he can use IQueryable to write clean solutions.

          Maybe you can work with IQueryable:



          IQueryable<Person> iPerson = this._client.CreateDocumentQuery<Person>(
          UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri(_idDatabase, _idCollection), queryOptions);

          if(Name != null) iPerson = iPerson.Where(f => f.Name == Name);
          if(lastName != null) iPerson = iPerson.Where(f => f.LastName == lastName)
          return iPerson.AsEnumerable().ToList();

          • The CosmosDB SDK doesn't play nicely with the Equals method. It throws a NotSupported exception when it does the LINQ to SQL conversion. On top of that, youe queryable will actutually return nothing because a simple ToList() won't work. The SDK needs an Enumerable before it can return data with the ToList method. It's weird. Also also, he said that he wants the filter to work when one of the two is null not potentially both.
