$expand with count

[cheng93]

The [email protected] properties are missing.

In the following sample, there are two examples

• Using EnableQuery and ProjectTo, this works
• Using this library, this doesn't work

Sample https://github.com/cheng93/AutoMapper.OData/blob/master/ApiController.cs

http://localhost:5238/odata/categories?$expand=products($count=true)

expected

{
 "@odata.context": "http://localhost:5238/odata/$metadata#categories(Products())",
    "value": [
        {
            "CategoryId": 1,
            "CategoryName": "CategoryOne",
            "[email protected]": 3, <-- visible

You are correct - that is not currently supported. There is a CountOption property in the expansion.

At the root level it is being applied by setting a property as implemented here.

Still - Ok to create a PR to return count for expansions if you have a solution.

Hi, any progress with this? Also any chance of supporting filter on expand?
So something like :

api/Entity?$expand=Child($filter=name eq "Bob")

[BlaiseD]

The tests show examples of filter with expand. Ok to submit a PR on the count feature.
