I'm trying to generalize a duplicate checker function, which depending on which type of object, checks the properties said class has (provided in a configuration) are equal to those in another list.
I have decided to create a Dictionary, which will accept a type string for the key (Book, Author, Shop, etc.) and an array of properties that need to be equal.
Example of Dictionary enties:
"Book", ["Title", "CoverImage", "NumberOfPages"]
"Author", ["Name", "Address", "SomethingElse"]
Then, I pass an object to the function and use Reflection to get the name of the type...
obj.GetType().Name;
... which I then use to fetch the right KVP from the Dictionary, meaning that if I pass a Book object, I get "Book". We then use that to get the configuration via ...
configDictionary["obj.GetType().Name"]
... which gives us the array of strings that are the properties that we need to check equality on.
I've gotten to the part where I need something along the lines of
list.Where(x => --> for each of the strings in the array - x.GetType.GetProperty(string) && --> same for next string && same for next string
... and then I need to top it off with an...
x.Id != obj.Id
To make sure we check for duplicates based on our logic (different id's and matches on all properties but has different Id's thus - a duplicate).
The end query should look like
Books:
someList.Where(x =>
x.Title == obj.Title
&& x.CoverImage == obj.CoverImage
&& x.NumberOfPages == obj.NumberOfPages
&& x.Id != obj.Id)
.FirstOrDefault();
Authors:
someList.Where(x => x.Name == obj.Name
&& x.Address == obj.Address
&& x.SomethingElse == obj.SomethingElse
&& x.Id != obj.Id)FirstOrDefault();
