I currently have a code which inserts or updates and return the affected entity but for now it is returning a specific type
public delegate void BeforeTransaction(tbl_purchases_record x);
public static tbl_purchases_record insertupdate(
tbl_purchases_record param,
DB context,
Func<tbl_purchases_record,bool> lambda,
BeforeTransaction beforetransaction = null)
{
var entity = context.tbl_purchases_record.SingleOrDefault(lambda);
beforetransaction?.Invoke(entity); // callable parameter
if (entity == null)
{
entity = context.tbl_purchases_record.Add(param);
}
else
{
context.Entry(entity).CurrentValues.SetValues(param);
}
context.SaveChanges();
return entity;
}
is it possible to make this return dynamic type? (Also wanna ask...if is this a bad practice?)
Based on your comment:
Yes i can do that.. but my problem is context.tbl_purchases_record.SingleOrDefault(lambda)...i try context.Set(typeof(TEntity)) but this doesn't have SingleOrDefault
When using a generic method, the correct syntax to use is:
context.Set<TEntity>().FirstOrDefault();
You simply pass the generic parameter.
Putting it all together:
public T InsertUpdate<T>(T obj, DB context, Func<T,bool> lambda)
{
var entity = context.Set<T>().SingleOrDefault(lambda);
if (entity == null)
{
entity = context.Set<T>().Add(obj);
}
else
{
context.Entry(entity).CurrentValues.SetValues(obj);
}
context.SaveChanges();
return entity;
}
Also note that in newer versions of EF, there is actually an AddOrUpdate
method that does the same thing:
context.Set<T>().AddOrUpdate(
lambda, //How to identify a pre-existing item
obj //The item with new values
);
It will do the same thing. If it finds a pre-existing item, it will update it. Otherwise it will create a new item. However, this will not return the created/updated item and is therefore probably not what you want to use here.
