Linq:嵌套子查询中的动态Where子句

过去我通过动态地向Linq查询添加过滤器来处理可选搜索条件,如下所示:

public IEnumerable<Customer> FindCustomers(string name)
{
    IEnumerable<Customer> customers = GetCustomers();
    var results = customers.AsQueryable();
    if (name != null)
    {
        results = results.Where(customer => customer.Name == name);
    }
    results = results.OrderBy(customer => customer.Name);
    return results;
}

或者类似地使用谓词,你基本上只是将lambda从Where移动到Func<>(如果使用LinqToEntities or Expression<Func<>>),就像这样:

public IEnumerable<Customer> FindCustomers(string name)
{
    Func<Customer, bool> searchPredicate = customer => true;
    if (name != null)
    {
        searchPredicate = customer => customer.Name == name;
    }

    IEnumerable<Customer> customers = GetCustomers();
    var results = customers
        .Where(searchPredicate)
        .OrderBy(customer => customer.Name);
    return results;
}

但是,当Where子句隐藏在嵌套子查询中的某个地方时,我无法弄清楚如何做类似的事情。考虑以下(组成)场景:

public class Customer
{
    public string Name;
    public int MaxOrderItemAmount;
    public ICollection<Order> PendingOrders;
    public ICollection<OrderItem> FailedOrderItems;
    public ICollection<Order> CompletedOrders;
}

public class Order
{
    public int Id;
    public ICollection<OrderItem> Items;
}

public class OrderItem
{
    public int Amount;
}

public IEnumerable<OrderItem> FindInterestingOrderItems(
    bool onlyIncludePendingItemsOverLimit)
{
    var customers = GetCustomersWithOrders();

    // This approach works, but yields an unnecessarily complex SQL
    // query when onlyIncludePendingItemsOverLimit is false
    var interestingOrderItems = customers
        .SelectMany(customer => customer.PendingOrders
            .SelectMany(order => order.Items
                .Where(orderItem => onlyIncludePendingItemsOverLimit == false
                    || orderItem.Amount > customer.MaxOrderItemAmount))
            .Union(customer.FailedOrderItems)
        );

    // Instead I'd like to dynamically add the Where clause only if needed:
    Func<OrderItem, bool> pendingOrderItemPredicate = orderItem => true;
    if (onlyIncludePendingItemsOverLimit)
    {
        pendingOrderItemPredicate =
            orderItem => orderItem.Amount > customer.MaxOrderItemAmount;
       // PROBLEM: customer not defined here  ^^^
    }

    interestingOrderItems = customers
        .SelectMany(customer => customer.PendingOrders
            .SelectMany(order => order.Items
                .Where(pendingOrderItemPredicate)
            .Union(customer.FailedOrderItems)))
        .OrderByDescending(orderItem => orderItem.Amount);

    return interestingOrderItems;
}

显然,这次我不能将lambda移动到Func<>因为它包含对查询的更高级别部分定义的变量(customer)的引用。我在这里缺少什么?

这有效:在单独的函数中构建谓词,将来自更高级别lambda的“customer”值作为参数传递。

publicvoid FindInterestingOrderItems(bool onlyIncludePendingItemsOverLimit)
{
    var customers = GetCustomersWithOrders();
    var interestingOrderItems = customers
        .SelectMany(customer => customer.PendingOrders
            .SelectMany(order => order.Items
                .Where(GetFilter(customer, onlyIncludePendingItemsOverLimit))
            .Union(customer.FailedOrderItems)))
        .OrderByDescending(orderItem => orderItem.Amount);
}

private Func<OrderItem, bool> GetFilter(Customer customer, bool onlyIncludePendingItemsOverLimit)
{
    if (onlyIncludePendingItemsOverLimit)
    {
        return orderItem => orderItem.Amount > customer.MaxOrderItemAmount;
    }
    else
    {
        return orderItem => true;
    }
}
