4.3 Nested $filter in $expand

OData Web API v5.5 supports nested $filter in $expand, e.g.: .../Customers?$expand=Orders($filter=Id eq 10)

POCO classes:

public class Customer
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<Order> Orders { get; set; }
}

public class Order
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

With Edm model built as follows:

var builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder(config);
builder.EntitySet<Customer>("Customers");
var model = builder.GetEdmModel();

To Map route,

For Microsoft.AspNet.OData, e.g., in WebApiConfig.cs:

config.MapODataServiceRoute("orest", "orest", model);

For Microsoft.AsnNetCore.OData, e.g., in Startup.Configure((IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env) method:

app.UseMvc(routeBuilder => 
    {
        routeBuilder.Select().Expand().Filter().OrderBy().MaxTop(null).Count();
        routeBuilder.MapODataServiceRoute("orest", "orest", model);
    });

Controller:

public class CustomersController : ODataController
{
    private Customer[] _customers =
    {
        new Customer
        {
            Id = 0,
            Name = "abc",
            Orders = new[]
            {
                new Order { Id = 10, Name = "xyz" },
                new Order { Id = 11, Name = "def" },
            }
        }
    };

    [EnableQuery]
    public IHttpActionResult Get()
    {
        return Ok(_customers.AsQueryable());
    }
}
