Automapper ProjectTo将ToList添加到子属性中

Question

我使用projection通过Entity Framework Core将实体类映射到DTO。但是，投影会将ToList添加到子集合属性中，这会使查询速度大大降低。

公司实体：

public class Company
{
    public Company()
    {
        Employees = new List<CompanyEmployee>();
    }

    public string Address { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<CompanyEmployee> Employees { get; set; }
    ...
}

公司DTO：

public class CompanyDTO
{
    public CompanyDTO()
    {
        CompanyEmployees = new List<EmployeeDTO>();
    }

    public string Address { get; set; }
    public List<EmployeeDTO> CompanyEmployees { get; set; }
    ...
}

组态：

CreateMap<Company, CompanyDTO>()
    .ForMember(c => c.CompanyEmployees, a => a.MapFrom(src => src.Employees));
CreateMap<CompanyEmployee, EmployeeDTO>();

查询：

UnitOfWork.Repository<Company>()
    .ProjectTo<CompanyDTO>(AutoMapper.Mapper.Configuration)
    .Take(10)
    .ToList();

在使用Expression属性检查生成的查询后，将ProjectTo产生以下结果：

Company.AsNoTracking()
    .Select(dtoCompany => new CompanyDTO() 
    {
        Address = dtoCompany.Address, 
        ...
        CompanyEmployees = dtoCompany.Employees.Select(dtoCompanyEmployee => new EmployeeDTO() 
                            {
                                CreatedDate = dtoCompanyEmployee.CreatedDate, 
                                ...
                            }).ToList() // WHY??????
    })

该ToList调用导致对每个实体运行选择查询，这并不是我所想的。我在没有该查询的情况下测试了该查询ToList（通过手动复制该表达式并运行它），并且一切正常。如何防止AutoMapper添加该呼叫？我尝试将ListDTO中的类型更改为，IEnumerable但没有任何更改。

让我们忽略该ToList调用的EF Core影响，并专注于AutoMapper ProjectTo。

该行为在EnumerableExpressionBinder类中进行了硬编码：

expression = Expression.Call(typeof(Enumerable), propertyMap.DestinationPropertyType.IsArray ? "ToArray" : "ToList", new[] { destinationListType }, expression);

此类是AutoMapper QueryableExtensions处理管道的一部分，负责将可枚举的源转换为可枚举的目标。正如我们所看到的，它总是发出ToArray或ToList。

实际上，当目标成员类型为ICollection<T>或时IList<T>，ToList则需要调用，因为否则该表达式将无法编译。但是，当目标成员类型为时IEnumerable<T>，这是任意的。

所以，如果你想摆脱在上述场景，行为，你可以注入定制IExpressionBinder 之前的EnumerableExpressionBinder（粘合剂被称为为了直到IsMatch返回true）这样的（

namespace AutoMapper
{
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Linq.Expressions;
    using AutoMapper.Configuration.Internal;
    using AutoMapper.Mappers.Internal;
    using AutoMapper.QueryableExtensions;
    using AutoMapper.QueryableExtensions.Impl;

    public class GenericEnumerableExpressionBinder : IExpressionBinder
    {
        public bool IsMatch(PropertyMap propertyMap, TypeMap propertyTypeMap, ExpressionResolutionResult result) =>
            propertyMap.DestinationPropertyType.IsGenericType &&
            propertyMap.DestinationPropertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(IEnumerable<>) &&
            PrimitiveHelper.IsEnumerableType(propertyMap.SourceType);

        public MemberAssignment Build(IConfigurationProvider configuration, PropertyMap propertyMap, TypeMap propertyTypeMap, ExpressionRequest request, ExpressionResolutionResult result, IDictionary<ExpressionRequest, int> typePairCount, LetPropertyMaps letPropertyMaps)
            => BindEnumerableExpression(configuration, propertyMap, request, result, typePairCount, letPropertyMaps);

        private static MemberAssignment BindEnumerableExpression(IConfigurationProvider configuration, PropertyMap propertyMap, ExpressionRequest request, ExpressionResolutionResult result, IDictionary<ExpressionRequest, int> typePairCount, LetPropertyMaps letPropertyMaps)
        {
            var expression = result.ResolutionExpression;

            if (propertyMap.DestinationPropertyType != expression.Type)
            {
                var destinationListType = ElementTypeHelper.GetElementType(propertyMap.DestinationPropertyType);
                var sourceListType = ElementTypeHelper.GetElementType(propertyMap.SourceType);
                var listTypePair = new ExpressionRequest(sourceListType, destinationListType, request.MembersToExpand, request);
                var transformedExpressions = configuration.ExpressionBuilder.CreateMapExpression(listTypePair, typePairCount, letPropertyMaps.New());
                if (transformedExpressions == null) return null;
                expression = transformedExpressions.Aggregate(expression, (source, lambda) => Select(source, lambda));
            }

            return Expression.Bind(propertyMap.DestinationProperty, expression);
        }

        private static Expression Select(Expression source, LambdaExpression lambda)
        {
            return Expression.Call(typeof(Enumerable), "Select", new[] { lambda.Parameters[0].Type, lambda.ReturnType }, source, lambda);
        }

        public static void InsertTo(List<IExpressionBinder> binders) =>
            binders.Insert(binders.FindIndex(b => b is EnumerableExpressionBinder), new GenericEnumerableExpressionBinder());
    }
}

从本质上来说，这是的修改后的副本，EnumerableExpressionBinder具有不同的IsMatch检查和删除的ToList调用发射代码。

现在，如果将其注入到AutoMapper配置中：

Mapper.Initialize(cfg =>
{
    GenericEnumerableExpressionBinder.InsertTo(cfg.Advanced.QueryableBinders);
    // ...
});

并设置您的DTO收集类型IEnumerable<T>：

public IEnumerable<EmployeeDTO> CompanyEmployees { get; set; }

在ProjectTo将生成的表达Select，但W / O型ToList。
