آن را نصب نموده و بعد از تکمیل شدن، visual studio را restart کنید.

پروژه‌ی console خود را باز کرده و از طریق Add -> new item، آیتم OData client را جستجو کرده و با نام ProductClient.tt آن را تولید نمایید (نام آن اختیاری است):

فایل ProductClient.tt را که یک T4 code generator میباشد، باز کرده و مقدار ثابت MetadataDocumentUri را به آدرس سرویس odata خود تغییر دهید:

public const string MetadataDocumentUri = "http://localhost:port/odata/";

روی این آیتم کلیک راست و گزینه‌ی Run Custom tool را انتخاب نمایید. این تمام کاری است که نیاز به انجام دادن دارید.

حال فایل Program.cs را باز کرده و آن‌را اینگونه تغییر دهید:

using ConsoleApplication1.OwinAspNetCore.Models;
using System;
using System.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Uri uri = new Uri("http://localhost:24977/odata");

            //var context = new Default.Container(uri);
            var context = new TestNameSpace.TestNameSpace(uri);

            //get
            var products = context.Products.Where(pr => pr.Name.Contains("a"))
                .Take(1).Select(pr => new { Firstname = pr.Name, PriceValue = pr.Price }).ToList();

            //add
            context.AddToProducts(new Product() { Name = "Name1", Price = 123 });

            //update
            Product p = context.Products.First();
            p.Name = "changed";
            context.UpdateObject(p);

            //delete
            context.DeleteObject(context.Products.Last());

            //commit
            context.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
}

مشاهده میفرمایید که همه‌ی عملیات‌های لازم برای CRUD، به شرط اینکه در سمت سرور طراحی شده باشند، به راحتی از سمت کلاینت قابل فراخوانی خواهند بود.

از این ویژگی فوق العاده میتوان حتی در کلاینت‌ها جاوااسکریپتی نیز استفاده کرد. فرض کنید نرم افزار تحت وبی را با استفاده از jquery یا angularjs طراحی کرده‌اید. قاعدتا فراخوانی درخواست‌های شما به سمت سرور، چیزی شبیه به این خواهد بود:

//angularjs
$http.get("/products/get", {Name: "Test", Company: "Test"})
    .then(function(response) {
        console.log(response.data);
    });

//jquery
$.get("/products/get", {Name: "Test", Company: "Test"}, function(data, status){
        console.log("Data: " + data);
    });

با استفاده از odata و typescript و یک library مربوط به odata client در سمت کلاینت، نرم افزار شما بجای موارد، بالا چیزی شبیه به مثال زیر خواهد بود (با همراه داشتن strongly typed و intellisense کامل)

let product1 = await context.products.filter(c => c.Name.contains("Ali")).toArray();
let product2 = await context.products.getSomeFunction(1, 'Test');
context.product.add({Name: 'Test'} as Product);
await context.saveChanges()

در مقاله‌های آتی به ویژگی‌های بیشتری از Odata خواهیم پرداخت.
