Entities deep diff
$ dotnet add package DeepDiffFirst configure DeepDiff to know what types you want to compare, in the startup of your application
var diffConfiguration = new DiffConfiguration();
diffConfiguration.Entity<Entity>()
.HasKey(x => new { x.StartsOn, x.Name })
.HasValues(x => new { x.Price, x.Volume })
.HasMany(x => x.SubEntities)
.OnInsert(cfg => cfg.SetValue(x => x.PersistChange, PersistChange.Insert))
.OnUpdate(cfg => cfg.SetValue(x => x.PersistChange, PersistChange.Update))
.OnDelete(cfg => cfg.SetValue(x => x.PersistChange, PersistChange.Delete));
diffConfiguration.Entity<SubEntity>()
.HasKey(x => x.SubName)
.HasValues(x => x.Energy)
.OnInsert(cfg => cfg.SetValue(x => x.PersistChange, PersistChange.Insert))
.OnUpdate(cfg => cfg.SetValue(x => x.PersistChange, PersistChange.Update))
.OnDelete(cfg => cfg.SetValue(x => x.PersistChange, PersistChange.Delete))
var deepDiff = diffConfiguration.CreateDeepDiff();
Then in your application code, this will detect insert/update/delete between existing and new entities. In case of update, properties will be copied from new to existing entity
var result = deepDiff.MergeMany(existingEntities, newEntities); // result.Entities will contain 'diff' entities
Sample entities definition
