Reporting & List Filters (Part 2)
Advanced List Filtering Mechanisms, Architectural Standards, and Enterprise Reporting Patterns in AUA
Advanced List Filtering in Reporting
View Full Reporting DocumentationReporting serves as the critical final product of system operations, enabling managers and enterprise users to extract insights faster and more dynamically. Part 2 of the reporting series deep-dives into applying precise list filters and query optimizations within the AUA framework structure.
The Architectural Foundation of AUA
The AUA (Asp.Net Unique Architecture) Framework is built upon cutting-edge patterns and software engineering paradigms, including Clean Architecture, Clean Code, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Lmax Architecture, SOLID principles, Code Refactoring, and GRASP.
Without a uniform, robust architecture, software systems frequently deteriorate into tangled, monolithic codebases where modifying one module breaks another. General-purpose backend frameworks empower development teams to bypass boilerplate complexities, eliminate task duplication, and concentrate entirely on core business logic.
2. Enterprise Reporting Filter (SpecificationPattern)
Enterprise reports decouple query filters from services using Specification<T>, allowing flexible expression chaining without polluting business logic.
public class UserAccessReportFilter : Specification<UserAccess>
{
private readonly UserAccessReportSearchVm _searchVm;
public UserAccessReportFilter(UserAccessReportSearchVm searchVm)
{
_searchVm = searchVm;
}
public override Expression<Func<UserAccess, bool>> ToExpression()
{
var query = Expression();
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(_searchVm.Title))
query = query.And(p => p.Title.Contains(_searchVm.Title));
if (_searchVm.AccessCode.HasValue)
query = query.And(p => p.AccessCode == _searchVm.AccessCode.Value);
return query;
}
