Abp: Repository WithDetails() function need ThenInclude() function

Repository WithDetails() function need ThenInclude() function in "many to many" scene

[hikalkan]

WithDetails is implemented per entity, so you can use ThenInclude for your entity. Can you explain a bit more?

[Goxiaoy]

@hikalkan ThenInclude function is useful in many-to-many entity. Considering for user and role, if i want to query user repository with all of their role name.

IRepository<User> userRepository...
userRepository.WithDetail(p=>p.User2Role).ThenWithDetail(p=>p.Role)

Will document WithDetails's usage. Then we see if we need to support additional scenarios.

So what's the conclusion? Otherwise we need reference the EntityFrameworkCore in application layer.

[hikalkan]

For now, go with referencing the Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore package to your application layer since at first look it doesn't fit to a generic repository interface. If we implement it later, you replace your code if you like.

Use Include in EF Core to load navigation property

IRepository<User> userRepository...
userRepository.Include(p=>p.User2Role).ThenInclude(p=>p.Role)
