Razor Pages Ef Core Filter Demo

This is a simple demo application to showcase my Subclass Filter feature added to Schick.FilterExpressionCreator in my fork

By simple, I mean that the project is not structured with best practices in mind, but it is structured to best showcase the feature.

Requirements

SQL server installed with a localDB instance ready to go (you can edit the connection string in appsettings.json)
dotnet cli (for making migrations to localDB)

Just be sure to apply the migrations to your sql server:

(Run the following inside the RazorPagesEFCoreFilterDemo project directory)

$ dotnet ef database update

Then run via $ dotnet run or just inside visual studio via the run button

The project is laid out as a typical Razor Pages Application, with the pages defined in /Pages.

For the sake of demonstration of the filter, we are modelling a Zoo that contains Mammals and Reptiles.

The Animal class hierarchy is defined as follows :

(there are more animals in the world of course, but lets keep it simple)

The application consists of the following routes (TODO):

All of which lead to the same page (/Pages/Animals/List), it displays an overview of all the animals in the zoo.

There is also a /Animal?id=xxx route that will show specific detailed information about a given animal (/Pages/Animals/Single).

By using a more specific route, more specific filters will be applied (/Animals/Mammals will only list all Mammals).

Besides those hierarchical filters, more filters are available as Post Attributes. (e.g a filter for a minimum age, a filter for sex).
