TcfOss.Filtering.Programmatic

Documentation | Repository

Filter objects for use in strongly-typed C# code, and helpers for converting them to TcfOss.Filtering.Contracts wire models.

These may be useful for, say, filter components in a Blazor or WPF application, where you want to construct filter objects in code and then send them to an API that uses TcfOss.Filtering.Contracts wire models, or the wire models may be simply mapped to TcfOss.Filtering.Linq models in the same application

The two-step conversion is preferable to going straight to Linq models, since the Contracts-to-Linq mapping offers some validations: The Basic mapper ensures that field names at least could be actual property names (i.e. nothing that could potentially lead to SQL-injection vulnerabilities), the Reflection mapper ensures that field names actually exist on the model type, and the Dict mapper only accepts fields that a developer has explicitly allowed.
