Safe Navigation

[damir-usmanov]

🛡️ Add Safe Navigation Support for Property Path Expressions

Summary

Introduces comprehensive safe navigation functionality to prevent null reference exceptions when accessing nested properties in RQL queries. This feature adds optional null-conditional operators (?.) to property path expressions for safer data access.

Key Features

• NavigationStrategy Configuration: New enum to control safe navigation behavior (Default/Safe)
• Granular Control: Separate configuration for filtering and ordering operations
• Comprehensive Coverage: Safe navigation support across all RQL operators:
  • String operations (eq, ne, like)
  • Numeric comparisons (gt, ge, lt, le)
  • Collection operations (any, all)
  • List operations (in, out)
  • Deep property access chains

Configuration

rqlConfig.Settings.Filter.Navigation = NavigationStrategy.Safe;
rqlConfig.Settings.Ordering.Navigation = NavigationStrategy.Safe;
