假设我有一个左外连接,如下所示:

from f in Foo
join b in Bar on f.Foo_Id equals b.Foo_Id into g
from result in g.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new { Foo = f, Bar = result }

如何使用扩展方法表达相同的任务?如。

Foo.GroupJoin(Bar, f => f.Foo_Id, b => b.Foo_Id, (f,b) => ???)
    .Select(???)

当前回答

由于这似乎是使用方法(扩展)语法的左外连接的事实上的SO问题,我想我应该在当前选择的答案之外添加一个替代方案(至少在我的经验中),这是我更常见的答案

// Option 1: Expecting either 0 or 1 matches from the "Right"
// table (Bars in this case):
var qry = Foos.GroupJoin(
          Bars,
          foo => foo.Foo_Id,
          bar => bar.Foo_Id,
          (f,bs) => new { Foo = f, Bar = bs.SingleOrDefault() });

// Option 2: Expecting either 0 or more matches from the "Right" table
// (courtesy of currently selected answer):
var qry = Foos.GroupJoin(
                  Bars, 
                  foo => foo.Foo_Id,
                  bar => bar.Foo_Id,
                  (f,bs) => new { Foo = f, Bars = bs })
              .SelectMany(
                  fooBars => fooBars.Bars.DefaultIfEmpty(),
                  (x,y) => new { Foo = x.Foo, Bar = y });

要使用一个简单的数据集来显示差异(假设我们是根据值本身进行连接):

List<int> tableA = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };
List<int?> tableB = new List<int?> { 3, 4, 5 };

// Result using both Option 1 and 2. Option 1 would be a better choice
// if we didn't expect multiple matches in tableB.
{ A = 1, B = null }
{ A = 2, B = null }
{ A = 3, B = 3    }

List<int> tableA = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };
List<int?> tableB = new List<int?> { 3, 3, 4 };

// Result using Option 1 would be that an exception gets thrown on
// SingleOrDefault(), but if we use FirstOrDefault() instead to illustrate:
{ A = 1, B = null }
{ A = 2, B = null }
{ A = 3, B = 3    } // Misleading, we had multiple matches.
                    // Which 3 should get selected (not arbitrarily the first)?.

// Result using Option 2:
{ A = 1, B = null }
{ A = 2, B = null }
{ A = 3, B = 3    }
{ A = 3, B = 3    }    

选项2对于典型的左外连接定义是正确的,但正如我前面提到的,根据数据集的不同,它通常是不必要的复杂。

将Marc Gravell的答案转换为一个扩展方法,我做了以下工作。

internal static IEnumerable<Tuple<TLeft, TRight>> LeftJoin<TLeft, TRight, TKey>(
    this IEnumerable<TLeft> left,
    IEnumerable<TRight> right,
    Func<TLeft, TKey> selectKeyLeft,
    Func<TRight, TKey> selectKeyRight,
    TRight defaultRight = default(TRight),
    IEqualityComparer<TKey> cmp = null)
{
    return left.GroupJoin(
            right,
            selectKeyLeft,
            selectKeyRight,
            (x, y) => new Tuple<TLeft, IEnumerable<TRight>>(x, y),
            cmp ?? EqualityComparer<TKey>.Default)
        .SelectMany(
            x => x.Item2.DefaultIfEmpty(defaultRight),
            (x, y) => new Tuple<TLeft, TRight>(x.Item1, y));
}

Marc Gravell的答案变成了一个支持IQueryable<T>接口的扩展方法,并添加了对c# 8.0 NRT的支持,如下所示:

#nullable enable
using LinqKit;
using LinqKit.Core;
using System.Linq.Expressions;

...

/// <summary>
/// Left join queryable. Linq to SQL compatible. IMPORTANT: any Includes must be put on the source collections before calling this method.
/// </summary>
public static IQueryable<TResult> LeftJoin<TOuter, TInner, TKey, TResult>(
    this IQueryable<TOuter> outer,
    IQueryable<TInner> inner,
    Expression<Func<TOuter, TKey>> outerKeySelector,
    Expression<Func<TInner, TKey>> innerKeySelector,
    Expression<Func<TOuter, TInner?, TResult>> resultSelector)
{
    return outer
        .AsExpandable()
        .GroupJoin(
            inner,
            outerKeySelector,
            innerKeySelector,
            (outerItem, innerItems) => new { outerItem, innerItems })
        .SelectMany(
            joinResult => joinResult.innerItems.DefaultIfEmpty(),
            (joinResult, innerItem) =>
                resultSelector.Invoke(joinResult.outerItem, innerItem));
}

对我来说更简单。

var appuser = appUsers.GroupJoin(trackLogin, u => u.Id, ur => ur.UserId, (u, ur) => new { u = u, ur = ur })
                    .Select( m => new { m.u.Id, m.u.Email, m.u.IsSuperUser, m.u.RoleId, 
                        LastLogin = m.ur.Select(t => t.LastLogin).FirstOrDefault()}).ToList();

你可以创建这样的扩展方法:

public static IEnumerable<TResult> LeftOuterJoin<TSource, TInner, TKey, TResult>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, IEnumerable<TInner> other, Func<TSource, TKey> func, Func<TInner, TKey> innerkey, Func<TSource, TInner, TResult> res)
    {
        return from f in source
               join b in other on func.Invoke(f) equals innerkey.Invoke(b) into g
               from result in g.DefaultIfEmpty()
               select res.Invoke(f, result);
    }
