When obtaining metadata about all entities in an EF DbContext, it is rather convoluted, having to go through the ObjectContext.
This was greatly cleaned up and simplified in EFCore with a simple line as below:
return dc.Model.GetEntityTypes();
The above returns IEnumerable where dc is an instance of a class derived from DbContext.
The Microsoft.OData.Client.Edm library has EdmEntityType. What I need is a way to return it from an instance of Microsoft.OData.Client.DomainServiceContext.
EdmStructuralProperty and EdmNavigationProperty seem to mirror their equivalents in the EF and EFCore worlds. However I cannot get at the root expression that gives access to the top-level entities to start with.
I have searched and can't seem to find anything that speaks to this.
Can anyone help?
