So a normal Dictionary<string, Action>
I use like so:
validationsDictionary["ThisValidation"]();
However, strings can be missed typed. So I would like to use the properties of a model as the key:
validationsDictionary[x => x.ThisProperty]();
But, I don't know exactly what the type is going to be, I have tried these:
Dictionary<Func<Model>, Action>
Dictionary<Expressions<Model>, Action>
Dictionary<Expression<Func<Model>>, Action>
I know some people don't rate using functions as keys. So I could do something like this:
void Validate(Expression<Func<Model>> key)
{
validationsDictionary[key.ToString()]();
}
I don't know if key.ToString()
is a correct property to use, but you get the gist.
EDIT
So, I used this:
Expression<Func<DisplayContentViewModel, object>> predicate
And it works like a treat giving me the ability to do: x => x.SomeProperty
I figured I can use predicate.Name
to give a string representation of the name. So now all I have to figure out, is how to populate the dictionary!
So after looking at @SriramSakthivel comment about how to get property name from lambda, and I combined it with my code so far I got this as a working solution:
private void Validate(Expression<Func<DisplayContentViewModel, object>> propertyLambda)
{
var key = this.GetValidationKey(propertyLambda);
this.validationsDictionary[key]();
}
private void CreateValidationRule(
Expression<Func<DisplayContentViewModel, object>> propertyLambda,
Action validationAction)
{
if (this.validationsDictionary == null)
{
this.validationsDictionary = new Dictionary<string, Action>();
}
var key = this.GetValidationKey(propertyLambda);
if (this.validationsDictionary.ContainsKey(key))
{
return;
}
this.validationsDictionary.Add(key, validationAction);
}
private string GetValidationKey(Expression<Func<DisplayContentViewModel, object>> propertyLambda)
{
var member = propertyLambda.Body as UnaryExpression;
if (member == null)
{
throw new ArgumentException(
string.Format("Expression '{0}' can't be cast to a UnaryExpression.", propertyLambda));
}
var operand = member.Operand as MemberExpression;
if (operand == null)
{
throw new ArgumentException(
string.Format("Expression '{0}' can't be cast to an Operand.", propertyLambda));
}
return operand.Member.Name;
}
