C# 中的柯里化表达式

Question

我正在尝试构建一个可以输入 Linq2SQL 的表达式树，以便它将生成一个漂亮的干净查询。我的目的是构建一个过滤器，将任意单词集与 AND 和 NOT（或 OR 和 NOT）结合在一起。因为我想改变我搜索的字段，所以我最好想将 Expression> 组合在一起（其中 T 是我正在操作的实体） on）通过调用各种辅助函数。然后我会收到一个单词数组并循环它们并构建一个 Expression> 向上（必要时否定某些表达式），我最终可以将其提供给 .Where 语句。

我一直在使用 LINQKit PredicateBuilder 但此代码处理单个参数表达式。不过，它为我自己的尝试提供了一些基础。我的目标是做这样的事情：

var e = (Expression<Func<Entity, string, bool>>)((p, w) => p.SomeField.ToLower().Contains(w));

var words = new []{"amanda", "bob"};

var expr = (Expression<Func<Entity, bool>>)(p => false);
// building up an OR query
foreach(var w in words) {
    var w1 = w;
>>>>expr = Expression.Lambda<Func<Entity, bool>>(Expression.OrElse(expr.Body, (Expression<Func<Entity, bool>>)(p => e(p, w))));
}

var filteredEntities = table.Where(expr);

但是由于我使用的是表达式，所以用 >>>> 标记的行是显然是非法的（不能像对函数那样执行e(p, w)）。所以我的问题是如何将单个变量（单词）部分应用到包含具有多个参数的函数的表达式？

好的，在 LINQPad 中摆弄并找到了一个适合我的解决方案。 这个问题让我到达了那里。我对构建表达式树还很陌生，所以我很感激（并赞成）任何带有改进或批评的评论/答案。

// Some set of expressions to test against
var expressions = new List<Expression<Func<Entity, string, bool>>>();
expressions.Add((p, w) => p.FirstName.ToLower().Contains(w));
expressions.Add((p, w) => p.LastName.ToLower().Contains(w));
expressions.Add((p, w) => p.Department != null && p.Department.Name.ToLower().Contains(w));

var words = new []{"amanda", "bob"};
var negs = new []{"smith"}; // exclude any entries including these words

var isAndQuery = true; // negate for an OR query
Expression<Func<Entity, bool>> posExpr = p => isAndQuery;

var entityParameter = Expression.Parameter(typeof(Entity), null);

// Build up the NOTs
var negExpr = (Expression<Func<Entity, bool>>)(p => true);
foreach(var w in negs) {
    var w1 = w;
    foreach(var e in expressions) {
        var andNot = Expression.Invoke(e, entityParameter, Expression.Constant(w1));
        negExpr = Expression.Lambda<Func<Entity, bool>>(Expression.AndAlso(negExpr.Body, Expression.Not(andNot)), entityParameter);
    }
}

// Build up the ANDs or ORs
foreach(var w in words) {
    var w1 = w;
    var orExpr = (Expression<Func<Entity, bool>>)(p => false);
    foreach(var e in expressions) {
        var orElse = Expression.Invoke(e, entityParameter, Expression.Constant(w1));
        orExpr = Expression.Lambda<Func<Entity, bool>>(Expression.OrElse(orExpr.Body, orElse), entityParameter);
    }
    var orInvoked = Expression.Invoke(orExpr, posExpr.Parameters.Cast<Expression>());
    if(isAndQuery)
        posExpr = Expression.Lambda<Func<Entity, bool>>(Expression.AndAlso(posExpr.Body, orInvoked), entityParameter);
    else
        posExpr = Expression.Lambda<Func<Entity, bool>>(Expression.OrElse(posExpr.Body, orInvoked), entityParameter);
}
var posInvoked = Expression.Invoke(posExpr, posExpr.Parameters.Cast<Expression>());
var finalExpr = Expression.Lambda<Func<Entity, bool>>(Expression.AndAlso(negExpr.Body, posInvoked), entityParameter);

var filteredEntities = entities.Where(finalExpr);

我喜欢使用 linq 来构建表达式树，它让我感觉超级强大，所以我添加了这个，不是作为对你问题的完整答案，而是一种构建表达式树的优雅方法......

var query = ...;
var search = "asdfasdf";
var fields = new Expression<Func<MyEntity,string>>[]{ 
    x => x.Prop1, 
    x => x.Prop2, 
    x => x.Prop3 
};
var notFields = new Expression<Func<MyEntity,string>>[]{ 
    x => x.Prop4, 
    x => x.Prop5 };

//----- 
var paramx = Expression.Parameter(query.ElementType);

//get fields to search for true
var whereColumnEqualsx = fields
    .Select(x => Expression.Invoke(x,paramx))
    .Select(x => Expression.Equal(x,Expression.Constant(search)))
    //you could change the above to use .Contains(...) || .StartsWith(...) etc.
    //you could also make it not case sensitive by 
    //wraping 'x' with a .ToLower() expression call, 
    //and setting the search constant to 'search.ToLower()'
    .Aggregate((x,y) => Expression.And(x,y));

//get fields to search for false
var whereColumnNotEqualsx = notFields
    .Select(x => Expression.Invoke(x,paramx))
    .Select(x => Expression.NotEqual(x, Expression.Constant(search)))
    //see above for the different ways to build your 'not' expression,
    //however if you use a .Contains() you need to wrap it in an Expression.Negate(...)
    .Aggregate((x,y) => Expression.Or(x,y));
    //you can change Aggregate to use Expression.And(...) 
    //if you want the query to exclude results only if the 
    //search string is in ALL of the negated fields.

var lambdax = Expression.Lambda(
    Expression.And(whereColumnEqualsx, whereColumnNotEqualsx), paramx);

var wherex = Expression.Call(typeof(Queryable)
    .GetMethods()
    .Where(x => x.Name == "Where")
    .First()
    .MakeGenericMethod(query.ElementType),
    query.Expression,lambdax);

//create query
var query2 = query.Provider.CreateQuery(wherex).OfType<MyEntity>();

这个例子可能对你有帮助。我想最好的方法是构建不带 lambda 的表达式：

public class Entity
{
    public Entity(string someField)
    {
        SomeField = someField;
    }

    public string SomeField { get; set;  }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var entities = new[] {new Entity("fooBar"), new Entity("barBaz"), new Entity("baz"), new Entity("foo")};
        entities.Where(BuildExpression("ar","az").Compile())
                .ToList()
                .ForEach(e => Console.WriteLine(e.SomeField));
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    public static Expression<Func<Entity, bool>> BuildExpression(params string[] words)
    {
        var parameter = Expression.Parameter(typeof (Entity));

        var matchs = words.Select(word =>
                                        {
                                            var property = Expression.Property(parameter, "SomeField");
                                            var toLower = Expression.Call(property, "ToLower", new Type[] {});
                                            var contains = Expression.Call(toLower, "Contains",
                                                                            new Type[]{},
                                                                            Expression.Constant(word));
                                            return contains;
                                        }).OfType<Expression>();

        var body = matchs.Aggregate(Expression.Or);

        return Expression.Lambda<Func<Entity, bool>>(body, new[] {parameter});
    } 
}

请告诉我是否应该为此答案添加更多信息。
