I have been trying to use OData with Dot Net Core, but wasn't successful in doing so. I feel this hasn't been port to the same (I may be wrong here). In this case, is there any alternatives to OData in .Net Core?

Any suggestions are welcome.

You can install the latest AspNetCore.Odata nugget package and start from there:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData/

In your Startup.cs class make sure that you configure your services to use OData:

 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {

        services.AddOData();
        services.AddMvc();
    }

Also, in the Configure method make sure to map the Odata Service Route:

 app.UseMvc(routes =>
        {
            routes.Count().Filter().OrderBy().Expand().MaxTop(null);
            routes.MapODataServiceRoute("odata", "odata", builder.GetEdmModel());
            routes.EnableDependencyInjection();
        });

  • Thanks for providing correct configurations. How can i access the service? My controller route is api/students when i hit this url am not getting anything as response. – user3625533 Jul 14 '18 at 18:32
  • I don't really understand your question. You don't have to access any service beside configuring the above in the Startup.cs file. You'll have to create your own Controller and create a method for api/students which returns some data. – Iustinian Andrioaie Jul 20 '18 at 11:42
  • thanks for the response. I figured out the issue with my dapper extension which is causing the error and not returning any rows from DB hence am getting a empty response. The above configurations worked for me. – user3625533 Jul 20 '18 at 13:46
  • Now i have another problem handling versions with OData. I have 2 versions of API's and i want to implement OData for version2 but, when i provided the same configuration am getting route conflict with version1 API. How can i tell the OData to use for only version2 API and version1 should run as it is. – user3625533 Jul 23 '18 at 13:13
  • I don't think you can use 2 different configurations for the routes. My best advice would be to create a new project for you v2 functionality and add a v2 to the route. For example, ../odata/v2/Entities. – Iustinian Andrioaie Jul 24 '18 at 09:59
