Sorry, haven't had my coffee yet. Just realized that's an ambiguous signature. We have to name the extension method something else like IncludeMany.
 
public static void IncludeMany<T>(this IFetchOptions<T> fetchOptions, string includeProperties)
{
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(includeProperties)) return;
ParseIncludeProperties(includeProperties)
.ForEach(x => fetchOptions.Include(x));
}
private static IEnumerable<string> ParseIncludeProperties(string includeProperties)
{
return includeProperties.Split(new[] { ',' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
}
var entityData = await _unitOfWork.Entities.FindAsync(SetPredicate(), T => T.OrderBySelector(sortSelector),
options => options.IncludeMany(includeProperties));
 
Or better yet, ditch the comma separated list and go with an IEnumerable. You probably already have an IEnumerable from which you currently build the comma separated list.
 
        public static void Include<T>(this IFetchOptions<T> fetchOptions, IEnumerable<string> properties)
        {
            properties.ForEach(x => fetchOptions.Include(x));
        }
 
var properties = new [] { "A", "B", "C" };
var entityData = await _unitOfWork.Entities.FindAsync(SetPredicate(), T => T.OrderBySelector(sortSelector), 
             options => options.Include(properties ));

If you want to eager fetch multiple related entities, you simply chain together several Includes as in options => options.Include("A").Include("B").Include(x => x.C) and so forth.
 
If you have an exisiting comma separated list, you could write a little extension method like so:
 
        public static void Include<T>(this IFetchOptions<T> fetchOptions, string includeProperties)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(includeProperties)) return;
            ParseIncludeProperties(includeProperties)
                .ForEach(x => fetchOptions.Include(x));
        }
        private static IEnumerable<string> ParseIncludeProperties(string includeProperties)
        {
            return includeProperties.Split(new[] { ',' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
        }
 
var entityData = await _unitOfWork.Entities.FindAsync(SetPredicate(), T => T.OrderBySelector(sortSelector), 
                                options => options.Include(includeProperties));

Hi,

First of all, thanks for update Cocktail and release new interesting features.

I've updated to Cocktail 2.2.0 and I've seen the new way to configure eager fetching using fetchOptions.

I have this call:
var entityData = await _unitOfWork.Entities.FindAsync(SetPredicate(), T => T.OrderBySelector(sortSelector), IncludeProperties);

I'd like to change and use fetchOptions. My property "IncludeProperties" is a string separated by comma. 

How to do that?
