Getting Started

To begin using LinqApi, install the core package from NuGet and configure it in your ASP.NET Core project.

dotnet add package LinqJsApi.Core --version 1.0.0-preview1

// Sample code for configuration
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Services.AddDynamicLinqApi("",
    "Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;Database=YourDB;Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=Yes");
                

NuGet Integration

LinqApi is designed modularly. You can install individual packages based on your needs:

• LinqJsApi.Core – core abstractions and helpers
• LinqJsApi.Razor – Razor view components and extensions

For example:

dotnet add package LinqJsApi.Core --version 1.0.0-preview1

JavaScript Usage

To use LinqApi JS components, include the CDN script with integrity attributes:

<script src="https://cdn.linqjs.com/linq.v1.0.0.min.js"
        integrity="sha384-RHlaXhs3O6e7jauYB0yQmcgbt2pmY3QCRXeNnMlth7vq+1OeJ9TRWywlGmurNtP8"
        crossorigin="anonymous"
        type="module"></script>
                

And use components like this:

import { LinqDataTable } from '/_content/LinqApi.Razor/js/index.js';

const table = new LinqDataTable({
    endpoint: '/api/products/filterpaged',
    target: '#grid'
});
                

API Structure

LinqApi follows a clean separation of concerns. For example, controllers can be auto-generated for CRUD operations. Here's a simple sample:

public class ProductController : LinqVmController
{
    // Custom logic here.
}
                

Extensibility

LinqApi is designed to be extensible. You can override mappings, hook into queries, and replace components to suit your needs.
