考虑以下两个处于多对多关系的实体-
public class Post
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public ICollection<Tag> Tags { get; set; }
}
public class Tag
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public ICollection<Post> Posts { get; set; }
}
当更新Post 实体中的Tags 时,在最常见的情况下,从客户端发送标签Ids 的新列表,请求有效负载将如下所示 -
{
"id": 123,
"title": "An Awesome Post",
"tags": [2, 7, 13]
}
通常,您希望定义一个 DTO 来表示此请求对象,例如 -
public class PostUpdateDTO
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public List<int> Tags { get; set; }
}
然后,对于更新操作本身,您可以执行以下操作 -
[HttpPut]
public async Task Put([FromBody]PostUpdateDTO dto)
{
// fetch existing Post including related Tags
var post = await _DbCtx.Posts
.Include(p => p.Tags)
.FirstOrDefaultAsync(p => p.Id == dto.Post.Id);
// remove all Tags from the existing list
post.Tags.Clear();
// add new Tags to the list whose Ids are sent by the client
// but to identify them you need the list of all available tags
var availableTags = await _DbCtx.Tags.ToListAsync();
foreach (var id in dto.Tags)
{
post.Tags.Add(availableTags.First(p => p.Id == id));
}
// modify properties of Post if you need, like -
// post.Title = dto.Title;
await _DbCtx.SaveChangesAsync();
}
如您所见,这需要访问数据库以获取所有可用Tag 的列表。如果你不喜欢它并想跳过它,你可以尝试以下方法 -
[HttpPut]
public async Task Put([FromBody]PostUpdateDTO dto)
{
// fetch existing Post including related Tags
var post = await _DbCtx.Posts
.Include(p => p.Tags)
.FirstOrDefaultAsync(p => p.Id == dto.Post.Id);
// remove Tags which are in the existing Tag list, but not
// in the new list sent by the client
post.Tags.Where(tag => !dto.Tags.Any(id => id == tag.Id))
.ToList().ForEach(tag => post.Tags.Remove(tag));
// add Tags which are in the new list sent by the client, but
// not in the existing Tag list
dto.Tags.Where(id => !post.Tags.Any(tag => tag.Id == id))
.ToList().ForEach(id => post.Tags.Add(new Tag { Id = id }));
// modify properties of Post if you need, like -
// post.Title = dto.Title;
await _DbCtx.SaveChangesAsync();
}
关于 - 属性名称后跟 ID:
您所指的 Id 属性表示外键。这两个实体都不包含外键属性,因为它们都不依赖于另一个。外键意味着父/子或主/从属关系。但是当两个实体是多对多关系时,它们是相互独立的。
