Odata Query Cheat Sheet

To implement this, OData queries with WEB API can be used. You can get more information about the OData Queries from here. Let us build a simple application that can filter multipage data using OData queries directly. The Web API Demo. Step 1: Open VS 2013 and create a new Empty MVC application. Name it as ‘MVC50WEBAPIPagination’. Add and configure Query List action. In the Designer: Click the Libraries and Lists action group in the action toolbox. Type the action name or function in the Search field at the top of the action toolbox. Drag the Query List action to the point in the workflow when you want to query a list. Open the Action Configuration window.

This extension adds rich language support for the OData query language.

Features

In the first release this extension adds the capabilities listed below. Only stable capabilities are enabled by default, while others can be turned on in the settings.

syntax highlighting (enabled)
query encoding/decoding (enabled)
syntax-aware formatting (disabled)
metadata-driven code completion (disabled)
diagnostics (disabled)

Commands

OData Open

Combines multi-line query into a one-line URL and opens it in a browser.

OData Combine

Combines multi-line query into a one-line URL.

OData Encode URI

Encodes URI and replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a '%' followed by two hexadecimal digits.

OData Decode URI

Decodes URI. This command is really helpful when you copy query from a browser or log files that store all URIs in the encoded form.

Settings

Quick example settings

Below is an example of a settings.json file for VSCode settings applicable to this extension. Continue to the next section for more in-depth documentation. This example enables completion feature and specifies where to find the metadata for queries which target https://stansw.analytics.visualstudio.com/vscode-odata/_odata endpoint.

Settings details

This extension can be controlled with the following settings. Please notice that currently all of them require a restart of the editor.

`odata.diagnostic.enable` (requires restart)

Enable/disable default diagnostics.

`odata.completion.enable` (requires restart)

Enable/disable completion. Currently completion is driven by the metadata. If you set the odata.metadata.map setting correctly (see below) then editor will suggest names of the properties and entities. Please notice that currently these suggestions are not context-sensitive and all property names are used regardless the entity you are working with. This will be improved in the future releases.

`odata.format.enable` (requires restart)

Enable/disable formatter (Alt+Shift+F).

`odata.format.decode` (requires restart)

Enable/disable URI decoding as part of formatting. Amnesia collection download for mac. This can be helpful if you copy encoded URL(s) from browser or log files.

`odata.format.syntax` (requires restart)

Enable/disable syntax-aware formatting.

`odata.metadata.map` (requires restart)

Associate metadata files in the current project. This setting consists of a list of mapping definition where user can specify url and the path to the offline metadata. Path can be full or relative to the workspace root. You can get this file by opening up $metadata endpoint and saving it locally. Example below was created by downloading https://stansw.analytics.visualstudio.com/vscode-odata/_odata/$metadata file.

Once mapping is defined, extension will try to find the right metadata by looking for the first url that matches the beginning of the query. For the example query below extension would use metadata file at C:/Sources/vscode-odata/test/fixtures/metadata.xml because its mapping url https://stansw.analytics.visualstudio.com/vscode-odata/_odata matches the beginning of the query.
