如何使用EF6更新多对多表

Question

我有两节课：

public partial class ObjectiveDetail {
    public ObjectiveDetail() {
        this.SubTopics = new List<SubTopic>();
    }
    public int ObjectiveDetailId { get; set; }
    public int Number { get; set; }
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<SubTopic> SubTopics { get; set; }
}
public partial class SubTopic {
    public int SubTopicId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

我有一个来自用户的ObjectiveDetail对象：

var web = {
 "objectiveDetailId":1,
 "number":1,
 "text":"datafromweb",
 "subTopics":[
              {"subTopicId":1,
               "name":"one"
              },
              {"subTopicId":3,
               "name":"three",
              }
             ]
}

和数据库中的ObjectiveDetail：

var db = {
 "objectiveDetailId":1,
 "number":1,
 "text":"datafromdb",
 "subTopics":[
              {"subTopicId":1,
               "name":"one"
              },
              {"subTopicId":2,
               "name":"two",
              }
             ]
}

使用Entity Framework 6，我知道我可以使用以下命令更新ObjectiveDetail类中的文本：

_uow.ObjectiveDetails.Update(web));

但是如何在连接这两个表的多对多表中更新对ObjectiveDetail和SubTopics的引用。 这里例如我想要它，以便对于ObjectiveDetail 1，将many-many更改为引用subTopicId 1和3而不是值1和2.请注意，ObjectiveDetail和SubTopic存储在表中，并且它们之间有另一个表。 这是DDL：

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ObjectiveDetail] (
    [ObjectiveDetailId] INT            IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
    [Text]              NVARCHAR (MAX) NOT NULL,
    [ObjectiveTopicId]  INT            NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [PK_ObjectiveDetail] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([ObjectiveDetailId] ASC),
);

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ObjectiveTopic] (
    [ObjectiveDetailId] INT NOT NULL,
    [SubTopicId]        INT NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [FK_ObjectiveTopicObjectiveDetail] FOREIGN KEY ([ObjectiveDetailId]) REFERENCES [dbo].[ObjectiveDetail] ([ObjectiveDetailId]),
    CONSTRAINT [FK_ObjectiveTopicSubTopic] FOREIGN KEY ([SubTopicId]) REFERENCES [dbo].[SubTopic] ([SubTopicId])
);

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SubTopic] (
    [SubTopicId] INT             IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
    [Name]       NVARCHAR (150)  NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [PK_SubTopic] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([SubTopicId] ASC),
);

这是我的EF Mapping：

public class ObjectiveDetailMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<ObjectiveDetail>
{
    public ObjectiveDetailMap()
    {
        // Primary Key
        this.HasKey(t => t.ObjectiveDetailId);
        // Relationships
        this.HasMany(t => t.SubTopics)
           .WithMany(t => t.ObjectiveDetails)
           .Map(m =>
           {
               m.ToTable("ObjectiveTopic");
               m.MapLeftKey("ObjectiveDetailId");
               m.MapRightKey("SubTopicId");
           });

    }
}

我认为您正在尝试模拟为您的用户工作的离线模式。 因此，当您从用户那里获得某些内容时，您希望将数据库与用户数据同步。 我做了一个例子，把你的问题提高了一步:)我添加了一个需要在数据库中更新的Subtopic。 好的，这里是代码：

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    //the database
    var ObjectiveDetails = new List<ObjectiveDetail>()
    {
        new ObjectiveDetail()
        {
            ObjectiveDetailId = 1,
            Number = 1,
            Text = "datafromdb",
            SubTopics = new List<SubTopic>()
            {
                new SubTopic(){ SubTopicId = 1, Name="one"}, //no change
                new SubTopic(){ SubTopicId = 2, Name="two"}, //to be deleted
                new SubTopic(){ SubTopicId = 4, Name="four"} //to be updated
            }
        }
    };

    //the object comes as json and serialized to defined object.
    var web = new ObjectiveDetail()
    {
        ObjectiveDetailId = 1,
        Number = 1,
        Text = "datafromweb",
        SubTopics = new List<SubTopic>()
        {
            new SubTopic(){ SubTopicId = 1, Name="one"}, //no change
            new SubTopic(){ SubTopicId = 3, Name="three"}, //new row
            new SubTopic(){ SubTopicId = 4, Name="new four"} //must be updated
        }
    };

    var objDet = ObjectiveDetails.FirstOrDefault(x => x.ObjectiveDetailId == web.ObjectiveDetailId);
    if (objDet != null)
    {
        //you can use AutoMapper or ValueInjecter for mapping and binding same objects
        //but it is out of scope of this question
        //update ObjectDetail
        objDet.Number = web.Number;
        objDet.Text = web.Text;
        var subtops = objDet.SubTopics.ToList();

        //Delete removed parameters from database
        //Entity framework can handle it for you via change tracking
        //subtopicId = 2 has been deleted 
        subtops.RemoveAll(x => !web.SubTopics.Select(y => y.SubTopicId).Contains(x.SubTopicId));

        //adds new items which comes from web
        //adds subtopicId = 3 to the list
        var newItems = web.SubTopics.Where(x => !subtops.Select(y => y.SubTopicId).Contains(x.SubTopicId)).ToList();
        subtops.AddRange(newItems);

        //this items must be updated
        var updatedItems = web.SubTopics.Except(newItems).ToList();

        foreach (var item in updatedItems)
        {
            var dbItem = subtops.First(x => x.SubTopicId == item.SubTopicId);
            dbItem.Name = item.Name;
        }

        //let's see is it working
        Console.WriteLine("{0}:\t{1}\t{2}\n---------",objDet.ObjectiveDetailId, objDet.Number, objDet.Text);
        foreach (var item in subtops)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", item.SubTopicId, item.Name);
        }
    }
    else
    {
         //insert new ObjectiveDetail
    }

    //In real scenario after doing everything you need to call SaveChanges or it's equal in your Unit of Work.
}

结果：

1:      1       datafromweb
---------
1: one
4: new four
3: three

而已。 您可以像这样同步数据库和用户数据。 而AutoMapper和ValueInjecter都是非常有用和强大的工具，我深深建议你看看那些。 我希望你喜欢，快乐编码:)

这是一个方法，它接受目标ObjectiveDetail的ID和要添加到目标ObjectiveDetail的SubTopic ID的IEnumerable<int> 。

public void UpdateSubTopics( int objectiveDetailId, IEnumerable<int> newSubTopicIds )
{
    using( var db = new YourDbContext() )
    {
        // load SubTopics to add from DB
        var subTopicsToAdd = db.SubTopics
            .Where( st => newSubTopicIds.Contains( st.SubTopicId ) );

        // load target ObjectiveDetail from DB
        var targetObjDetail = db.ObjectiveDetail.Find( objectiveDetailId );

        // should check for targetObjDetail == null here

        // remove currently referenced SubTopics not found in subTopicsToAdd 
        foreach( var cst in targetObjDetail.SubTopics.Except( subTopicsToAdd ) )
        {
            cst.SubTopics.Remove( cst );
        }

        // add subTopicsToAdd not currently found in referenced SubTopics
        foreach( var nst in subTopicsToAdd.Except( targetObjDetail.SubTopics ) )
        {
            targetObjDetail.SubTopics.Add( nst );
        }

        // save changes
        db.SaveChanges();
    }
}

Answer 3

我只使用EF代码优先，并定义3个表，你要么定义所有3个表，要么只是定义2个表，每个表中都有一个集合，就像这样

public class ObjectiveDetail 
{
    public ObjectiveDetail() {
        this.SubTopics = new HashSet<SubTopic>();
    }
    public int ObjectiveDetailId { get; set; }
    public int Number { get; set; }
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<SubTopic> SubTopics { get; set; }
}

public partial class SubTopic 
{
    public SubTopic() {
        this.ObjectiveDetail = new HashSet<ObjectiveDetail>();
    }
    public int SubTopicId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<ObjectiveDetail> ObjectiveDetails { get; set; }
}

如果您有3个表，则可以轻松地使用新的ID更新中间表。 您必须获取要更新的所有ObjectiveTopics，并更改ID，然后执行更新

ObjectiveTopic objectiveTopic = _uow.ObjectiveTopic.Get(1);
ObjectiveTopic.SubTopicId = 2;
ObjectiveTopic.ObjectiveDetailId = 1;
_uow.ObjectiveTopic.Update(objectiveTopic);

如果您没有将第三个表定义为实体，并且您只能访问ObjectiveDetail和SubTopic表，那么您可以获取两个实体并删除不再需要的实体，并添加一个你要。

ObjectiveDetail objectiveD = _uow.ObjectiveDetail.Get(1);
SubTopic subTopic = _uow.SubTopic.Get(1); //SubTopic to remove
SubTopic topicToAdd = _uow.SubTopic.Get(2); //SubTopic to add

ObjectiveDetail.SubTopics.Remove(subTopic); //Remove the entity from the ObjectiveTopic table
ObjectiveDetail.SubTopics.Add(topicToAdd); //Add the new entity, will create a new row in ObjectiveTopic Table
_uow.ObjectiveDetail.Update(objectiveD);

如果你想（也许应该），你可以在objectiveD上使用linq从集合中获取实体，而不是从数据库中检索它。

SubTopic subTopic = objectiveD.SubTopics.Single(x => x.SubTopicId == 1); //Instead of _uow.SubTopic.Get(1);
...

您可以使用通用方法，以便它可以用于任何多对多关系。 您只需在主对象的多对多集合中提供此整数列表，表示要更新的字段的ID：

protected void UpdateManyToMany<T>(YourDBContext db, ICollection<T> collection, List<int> idList) where T : class
{
  //update a many to many collection given a list of key IDs
  collection.Clear();      
  var source = db.Set<T>();

  if (idList != null)
  {
    foreach (int i in idList)
    {
      var record = source.Find(i);
      collection.Add(record);
    }
  }
}

你会这样称呼它：

UpdateManyToMany(db, objectiveDetail.SubTopics, subTopicIDList);
