EFQL - A generic data querying library that builds on top of Entity Framework Core

How to build a generic data querying library (efql) on top of Entity Framework Core, with similar functionality to GraphQL (including nested field/collection selection and nested field filtering), but without implementing a GraphQL backend.

(Work in progress, soon will be adding the tutorial content and the accompanying code, for both the library and usage examples)

1. Exploring the generic data querying library (efql) we will be building

2. Func<>, Expression<Func<>> (Lambda expressions), and expression tree basics

3. Manually building some example filter and field selection queries with Linq

4. Visualizing and exploring Lambda expression trees using LinqPad

5. Manually building Lambda expression trees for some example filter and field selection queries

6. Designing the programmatic library interface and the Rest API to access the library

7. Parsing nested filter fields and filter operators

8. Generating Lambda expression trees for filter operators

9. Parsing nested field selections

10. Generating Lambda expression trees for field selections

11. Adding paging and support for logical deletes
