Question
I have written following LINQ query to return list of Groups and then iterating list separately.
I only need list of Groups of User with specific email.
I am sure this might not be the right away.
Can i re-write it in a better way (performance-wise) ?
var groups = _context.Users.Where(m => m.Email == email)
.Include(g => g.Customer)
.ThenInclude(r => r.CustomerGroups)
.ThenInclude(t => t.Group)
.First().Customer.CustomerGroups;
foreach (var group in groups)
{
var s = group.Group;
//do something
}
Accepted Answer
If you need just CustomerGroup entities with the related Group entity (as I interpret your clarification in the comment section) it's inefficient to fetch other related entities (User and Customer). You can make EF to fetch only the entities you are interested in like this:
var groups =
(
from user in _context.Users
from customerGroup in user.Customer.CustomerGroups
where user.Email == email
select customerGroup
).Include(cg => cg.Group);
Or when CustomerGroup stores no relevant data, just relationships:
var groups =
(
from user in _context.Users
from customerGroup in user.Customer.CustomerGroups
where user.Email == email
select customerGroup.Group
);

Try this :
That is make query on CustomerGroups table so You don't need Include Customer and CustomerGroups .
var customerGroups = _context.CustomerGroups.Where(m => m.Customer.User.Email == email)
.Include(t => t.Group).
Select(s=> new CustomerGroupModel {
A= s.A,
B= s.B,
…
Group = s.Group
}).ToList();
Or
var customerGroups = _context.Customer.Where(m => m.User.Email == email)
.Include(r => r.CustomerGroups).ThenInclude(t => t.Group).
Select(s=> new CustomerGroupModel {
A= s.CustomerGroups.A,
B= s.CustomerGroups.B,
…
Group = s.CustomerGroups.Group
}).ToList();
