Multiple Includes() in EF Core

Question

I have an extension method that lets you generically include data in EF:

public static IQueryable IncludeMultiple(this IQueryable          


        

Answer 1

I adhere the simpler solution that makes use of the Include() overload that uses string navigationPropertyPath. The simplest that I can write is this extension method below.

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using System.Linq;

namespace MGame.Data.Helpers
{
    public static class IncludeBuilder
    {
        public static IQueryable Include(this IQueryable queryable, params string[] navigations) where TSource : class
        {
            if (navigations == null || navigations.Length == 0) return queryable;

            return navigations.Aggregate(queryable, EntityFrameworkQueryableExtensions.Include);  // EntityFrameworkQueryableExtensions.Include method requires the constraint where TSource : class
        }
    }
}
