How can I use ToListAsync() method with ABP repository?

Question

I've an application service method GetWithName and I want to write async version of this. To do this I've tried to use ToListAsync() but repository does not have this method.

public PagedResultDto<BookDto> GetWithName(SearchWithNameRequestDto input)
{
    var books = 
        Repository
        .Where(p => p.Name.Contains(input.Name))
        .ToList();

    return new PagedResultDto<BookDto>
    {
        TotalCount = books.Count,
        Items = ObjectMapper.Map<List<Book>, List<BookDto>>(books)
    };
}

How can I use async version of ToList method?

Answer 1

ToListAsync is ORM-dependent:

// using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

var query = Repository
    .Where(p => p.Name.Contains(input.Name));
var books = await query.ToListAsync();

For a DI (ORM-independent) solution, inject IAsyncQueryableExecuter and do:

// using Abp.Linq;

var query = Repository
    .Where(p => p.Name.Contains(input.Name));
var books = await _asyncQueryableExecuter.ToListAsync(query);
