TODO
We will change the `BookAppService` to support the Author relation.
### Data Transfer Objects
Let's begin from the DTOs.
#### BookDto
Open the `BookDto` class in the `Books` folder of the `Acme.BookStore.Application.Contracts` project and add the following properties:
```csharp
public Guid AuthorId { get; set; }
public string AuthorName { get; set; }
```
The final `BookDto` class should be following:
```csharp
using System;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Dtos;
namespace Acme.BookStore.Books
{
public class BookDto : AuditedEntityDto<Guid>
{
public Guid AuthorId { get; set; }
public string AuthorName { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public BookType Type { get; set; }
public DateTime PublishDate { get; set; }
public float Price { get; set; }
}
}
```
#### CreateUpdateBookDto
Open the `CreateUpdateBookDto` class in the `Books` folder of the `Acme.BookStore.Application.Contracts` project and add an `AuthorId` property as shown:
````csharp
public Guid AuthorId { get; set; }
````
#### AuthorLookupDto
Create a new class, `AuthorLookupDto`, inside the `Books` folder of the `Acme.BookStore.Application.Contracts` project:
````csharp
using System;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Dtos;
namespace Acme.BookStore.Books
{
public class AuthorLookupDto : EntityDto<Guid>
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
}
````
This will be used in a new method will be added to the `IBookAppService`.
### IBookAppService
Open the `IBookAppService` interface in the `Books` folder of the `Acme.BookStore.Application.Contracts` project and add a new method, named `GetAuthorLookupAsync`, as shown below:
````csharp
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Dtos;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Services;
namespace Acme.BookStore.Books
{
public interface IBookAppService :
ICrudAppService< //Defines CRUD methods
BookDto, //Used to show books
Guid, //Primary key of the book entity
PagedAndSortedResultRequestDto, //Used for paging/sorting
CreateUpdateBookDto> //Used to create/update a book
This new method will be used from the UI to get a list of authors and fill a dropdown list to select the author of a book.
### BookAppService
Open the `BookAppService` interface in the `Books` folder of the `Acme.BookStore.Application` project and replace the file content with the following code:
```csharp
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Acme.BookStore.Authors;
using Acme.BookStore.Permissions;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Dtos;
using Volo.Abp.Application.Services;
using Volo.Abp.Domain.Entities;
using Volo.Abp.Domain.Repositories;
namespace Acme.BookStore.Books
{
[Authorize(BookStorePermissions.Books.Default)]
public class BookAppService :
CrudAppService<
Book, //The Book entity
BookDto, //Used to show books
Guid, //Primary key of the book entity
PagedAndSortedResultRequestDto, //Used for paging/sorting
CreateUpdateBookDto>, //Used to create/update a book
* Added `[Authorize(BookStorePermissions.Books.Default)]` to authorize the methods we've newly added/overrode (remember, authorize attribute is valid for all the methods of the class when it is declared for a class).
* Injected `IAuthorRepository` to query from the authors.
* Overrode the `GetAsync` method of the base `CrudAppService`, which returns a single `BookDto` object with the given `id`.
* Used a simple LINQ expression to join books and authors and query them together for the given book id.
* Used `AsyncExecuter.FirstOrDefaultAsync(...)` to execute the query and get a result. `AsyncExecuter` was previously used in the `AuthorAppService`. Check the [repository documentation](../Repositories.md) to understand why we've used it.
* Throws an `EntityNotFoundException` which results an `HTTP 404` (not found) result if requested book was not present in the database.
* Finally, created a `BookDto` object using the `ObjectMapper`, then assigning the `AuthorName` manually.
* Overrode the `GetListAsync` method of the base `CrudAppService`, which returns a list of books. The logic is similar to the previous method, so you can easily understand the code.
* Created a new method: `GetAuthorLookupAsync`. This simple gets all the authors. The UI uses this method to fill a dropdown list and select and author while creating/editing books.
