The EntityQuery

In this topic we explore Breeze query features and techniques. The following subtopics will be discussed.

the role of the EntityManager in querying
the resource name: a Rose is not a rose
how the client query becomes an URL in OData query syntax
getting data from an arbitrary HTTP source
queryOptions control how queried entities are found and merged into the cache
the query result data package
query the local cache with executeQueryLocally
combining remote and local query for a refreshed cache perspective on the results
hiding async ceremony by pouring results into a data bound, observable array
EntityQuery immutability
filtering
- simple conditions
- compound condition with Predicates
- conditions on related entities using property paths
- using withParameters to pass arbitrary parameters to the server
using fromEntities to refresh values for or more entities
using fromEntityKey to get an entity when you know its key
using fromEntityNavigation to load related entities on-demand
include related entities in the query result payload with expand
paging with skip, take, top, and inlineCount
projection queries to select a subset of properties and flatten object graphs
orderBy to sort results on the data tier
shape the base query on the server with custom query actions
