How can I clean up my entity 'includes' to reuse the same set of statements? I'm trying to reuse a set of Includes while staying DRY.
Before
_context.Accounts .Include(x=> x.Status) .Include(x=> x.Type) .Include(x=> x.Phones) .Include(x=> x.Users) .Include(x=> x.Admins) After:
_context.Accounts.CustomIncludes() Try this:
public static class DataExtensions { public static Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.IIncludableQueryable<Account, List<Admin>> CustomIncludes(this DbSet<Account> accounts) { return accounts .Include(p => p.Status) .Include(p => p.Type) .Include(p => p.Phones) .Include(p => p.Users) .Include(p => p.Admins); } } Then you can say
context.Accounts.CustomIncludes(); 
DbSet<Account>. If it would start from IQueryable<Account> that would seem like a possible reuse to me. Or is there another, different, DbSet<Account> on which that extension method could be applied?
