Methods

Collection<T>()

Returns the collection/entity name of a given entity type

Declaration

public static string Collection<T>()
    where T : IEntity

Returns

Type	Description
String

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of the entity to get the collection name of

Elements<T>(Int32, Expression<Func<T, Object>>)

Returns a path with the filtered positional identifier prepended to the property path.

EX: 0, x => x.Rating > a.Rating

EX: 1, x => x.Rating > b.Rating

TIP: Index positions start from '0' which is converted to 'a' and so on.

Declaration

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	index	0=a 1=b 2=c 3=d and so on...
Expression<Func<T, Object>>	expression	x => x.SomeProp

Returns

Type	Description
String

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T

Elements<T>(Expression<Func<T, Object>>)

Returns a path without any filtered positional identifier prepended to it.
