Declaration

public ParsedQuery<TData> ParseQuery(string text, bool useFastYieldingQueryHandler);

Parameters

text The query input string.
useFastYieldingQueryHandler Set to true to get a query that yields null results for elements that don't pass the query, instead of only the elements that pass the query.

Returns

ParsedQuery<TData> ParsedQuery operation of type TData.

Description

Parses a query string into a ParsedQuery operation. This ParsedQuery operation can then be used to filter any data set of type TData.

Declaration

public ParsedQuery<TData,TPayload> ParseQuery(string text, IQueryHandlerFactory<TData,TQueryHandler,TPayload> queryHandlerFactory);

Parameters

text The query input string.
queryHandlerFactory A factory object that creates query handlers of type TQueryHandler. See IQueryHandlerFactory.

Returns

ParsedQuery<TData,TPayload> ParsedQuery operation of type TData and TPayload.

Description

Parses a query string into a ParsedQuery operation. This ParsedQuery operation can then be used to filter any data set of type TData.

This overload allows you to define your own query handler, which is a class that you can implement to do your own filtering based on the query graph.
