NoSQL with RavenDB and ASP.NET MVC - Part 2

- by shiju

In my previous post, we have discussed on how to work with RavenDB document database in an ASP.NET MVC application. We have setup RavenDB for our ASP.NET MVC application and did basic CRUD operations against a simple domain entity. In this post, let’s discuss on domain entity with deep object graph and how to query against RavenDB documents using Indexes.Let's create two domain entities for our demo ASP.NET MVC appplication public class Category { public string Id { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage = "Name Required")] [StringLength(25, ErrorMessage = "Must be less than 25 characters")] public string Name { get; set;} public string Description { get; set; } public List<Expense> Expenses { get; set; } public Category() { Expenses = new List<Expense>(); } } public class Expense { public string Id { get; set; } public Category Category { get; set; } public string Transaction { get; set; } public DateTime Date { get; set; } public double Amount { get; set; } } We have two domain entities - Category and Expense. A single category contains a list of expense transactions and every expense transaction should have a Category.Let's create ASP.NET MVC view model for Expense transaction public class ExpenseViewModel { public string Id { get; set; } public string CategoryId { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage = "Transaction Required")] public string Transaction { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage = "Date Required")] public DateTime Date { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage = "Amount Required")] public double Amount { get; set; } public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Category { get; set; } } Let's create a contract type for Expense Repository public interface IExpenseRepository { Expense Load(string id); IEnumerable<Expense> GetExpenseTransactions(DateTime startDate,DateTime endDate); void Save(Expense expense,string categoryId); void Delete(string id); } Let's create a concrete type for Expense Repository for handling CRUD operations. public class ExpenseRepository : IExpenseRepository { private IDocumentSession session; public ExpenseRepository() { session = MvcApplication.CurrentSession; } public Expense Load(string id) { return session.Load<Expense>(id); } public IEnumerable<Expense> GetExpenseTransactions(DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate) { //Querying using the Index name "ExpenseTransactions" //filtering with dates var expenses = session.LuceneQuery<Expense>("ExpenseTransactions") .WaitForNonStaleResults() .Where(exp => exp.Date >= startDate && exp.Date <= endDate) .ToArray(); return expenses; } public void Save(Expense expense,string categoryId) { var category = session.Load<Category>(categoryId); if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(expense.Id)) { //new expense transaction expense.Category = category; session.Store(expense); } else { //modifying an existing expense transaction var expenseToEdit = Load(expense.Id); //Copy values to expenseToEdit ModelCopier.CopyModel(expense, expenseToEdit); //set category object expenseToEdit.Category = category; } //save changes session.SaveChanges(); } public void Delete(string id) { var expense = Load(id); session.Delete<Expense>(expense); session.SaveChanges(); } } Insert/Update Expense Transaction The Save method is used for both insert a new expense record and modifying an existing expense transaction. For a new expense transaction, we store the expense object with associated category into document session object and load the existing expense object and assign values to it for editing a existing record. public void Save(Expense expense,string categoryId) { var category = session.Load<Category>(categoryId); if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(expense.Id)) { //new expense transaction expense.Category = category; session.Store(expense); } else { //modifying an existing expense transaction var expenseToEdit = Load(expense.Id); //Copy values to expenseToEdit ModelCopier.CopyModel(expense, expenseToEdit); //set category object expenseToEdit.Category = category; } //save changes session.SaveChanges(); } Querying Expense transactions public IEnumerable<Expense> GetExpenseTransactions(DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate) { //Querying using the Index name "ExpenseTransactions" //filtering with dates var expenses = session.LuceneQuery<Expense>("ExpenseTransactions") .WaitForNonStaleResults() .Where(exp => exp.Date >= startDate && exp.Date <= endDate) .ToArray(); return expenses; } The GetExpenseTransactions method returns expense transactions using a LINQ query expression with a Date comparison filter. The Lucene Query is using a index named "ExpenseTransactions" for getting the result set. In RavenDB, Indexes are LINQ queries stored in the RavenDB server and would be executed on the background and will perform query against the JSON documents. Indexes will be working with a lucene query expression or a set operation. Indexes are composed using a Map and Reduce function. Check out Ayende's blog post on Map/Reduce We can create index using RavenDB web admin tool as well as programmitically using its Client API. The below shows the screen shot of creating index using web admin tool. We can also create Indexes using Raven Cleint API as shown in the following code documentStore.DatabaseCommands.PutIndex("ExpenseTransactions", new IndexDefinition<Expense,Expense>() { Map = Expenses => from exp in Expenses select new { exp.Date } }); In the Map function, we used a Linq expression as shown in the following from exp in docs.Expensesselect new { exp.Date };We have not used a Reduce function for the above index. A Reduce function is useful while performing aggregate functions based on the results from the Map function. Indexes can be use with set operations of RavenDB.SET OperationsUnlike other document databases, RavenDB supports set based operations that lets you to perform updates, deletes and inserts to the bulk_docs endpoint of RavenDB. For doing this, you just pass a query to a Index as shown in the following commandDELETE http://localhost:8080/bulk_docs/ExpenseTransactions?query=Date:20100531The above command using the Index named "ExpenseTransactions" for querying the documents with Date filter and will delete all the documents that match the query criteria. The above command is equivalent of the following queryDELETE FROM ExpensesWHERE Date='2010-05-31' Controller & ActionsWe have created Expense Repository class for performing CRUD operations for the Expense transactions. Let's create a controller class for handling expense transactions. public class ExpenseController : Controller { private ICategoryRepository categoyRepository; private IExpenseRepository expenseRepository; public ExpenseController(ICategoryRepository categoyRepository, IExpenseRepository expenseRepository) { this.categoyRepository = categoyRepository; this.expenseRepository = expenseRepository; } //Get Expense transactions based on dates public ActionResult Index(DateTime? StartDate, DateTime? EndDate) { //If date is not passed, take current month's first and last dte DateTime dtNow; dtNow = DateTime.Today; if (!StartDate.HasValue) { StartDate = new DateTime(dtNow.Year, dtNow.Month, 1); EndDate = StartDate.Value.AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1); } //take last date of startdate's month, if endate is not passed if (StartDate.HasValue && !EndDate.HasValue) { EndDate = (new DateTime(StartDate.Value.Year, StartDate.Value.Month, 1)).AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1); } var expenses = expenseRepository.GetExpenseTransactions(StartDate.Value, EndDate.Value); if (Request.IsAjaxRequest()) { return PartialView("ExpenseList", expenses); } ViewData.Add("StartDate", StartDate.Value.ToShortDateString()); ViewData.Add("EndDate", EndDate.Value.ToShortDateString()); return View(expenses); } // GET: /Expense/Edit public ActionResult Edit(string id) { var expenseModel = new ExpenseViewModel(); var expense = expenseRepository.Load(id); ModelCopier.CopyModel(expense, expenseModel); var categories = categoyRepository.GetCategories(); expenseModel.Category = categories.ToSelectListItems(expense.Category.Id.ToString()); return View("Save", expenseModel); } // // GET: /Expense/Create public ActionResult Create() { var expenseModel = new ExpenseViewModel(); var categories = categoyRepository.GetCategories(); expenseModel.Category = categories.ToSelectListItems("-1"); expenseModel.Date = DateTime.Today; return View("Save", expenseModel); } // // POST: /Expense/Save // Insert/Update Expense Tansaction [HttpPost] public ActionResult Save(ExpenseViewModel expenseViewModel) { try { if (!ModelState.IsValid) { var categories = categoyRepository.GetCategories(); expenseViewModel.Category = categories.ToSelectListItems(expenseViewModel.CategoryId); return View("Save", expenseViewModel); } var expense=new Expense(); ModelCopier.CopyModel(expenseViewModel, expense); expenseRepository.Save(expense, expenseViewModel.CategoryId); return RedirectToAction("Index"); } catch { return View(); } } //Delete a Expense Transaction public ActionResult Delete(string id) { expenseRepository.Delete(id); return RedirectToAction("Index"); } } Download the Source - You can download the source code from http://ravenmvc.codeplex.com
