Question
I have three tables in my database. Post,Tag and PostTag. Tag and Post tables has Many To Many relation and because of that PostTag table created.
My question is how can i select all posts in my table with its tags and map result to my POCO entity with Dapper.net.
Here is my poco classes. Post:
public class Post
{
public long Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Body { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Tag> Tags { get; set; }
}
Tag:
public class Tag
{
public long Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Post> Posts { get; set; }
}
I want to select all posts with all related tags to each post. I want to know how can i get a result like this ef query: _context.Posts.Include(x => x.Tags).ToList()

Dapper is just an object mapping library, and you would have to write raw SQL or Stored Procedures by yourself. For example:
var sql =
@"
select Id, Title, Body from Post where Id = @id
select Id, Title from Tag t join PostTag pt on pt.TagId = p.Id where pt.PostId = @id";
using (var multi = connection.QueryMultiple(sql, new {id=postId}))
{
var post = multi.Read<Post>().Single();
var tags= multi.Read<Tag>().ToList();
post.Tags = tags;
}
And similarly with mapping posts to tags.
