Translation of captured values

[viclang]

I have tried using the TranslateConstantsUsing option, but it does not seem to change the string. Am I doing something wrong? I was using this code for testing:
expression.ToReadableString(c => c.TranslateConstantsUsing((type, value) => "Hello");

Maybe I didn't understand what this setting is doing. I have an Expression like this: x => x.Property.Equals(value)) and I want to translate the variable name value to the actual value in the variable. How can I translate this value?

Hi,

Unfortunately, in x => x.Property.Equals(value)), value is not a ConstantExpression - it's a 'captured' reference to a local variable.

I'll look into adding another option for the translation of captured variables.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,

It would be very useful. A last missing piece of information when comparing it to the .ToQueryString() method from EF Core 5.0!

This is supported as of v3-preview2, which is now available on NuGet.

This option will include captured field, property and variable values in translations, instead of the names of the captured items:

string readable = myExpression
    .ToReadableString(c => c.ShowCapturedValues);

Thanks again for the suggestion!

This is part of the full v3 release, which is now available on NuGet. Cheers!
