Querying Documents with Linq

Marten uses the Relinq library to support a subset of the normal Linq operators as well as some Marten specific operators. Linq queries are done with Marten using the IQuerySession.Query<T>() or IDocumentSession.Query<T>() method to return an IMartenQueryable object which is in turn implements the traditional IQueryable for the document type T.

/// <summary>
///     Use Linq operators to query the documents
///     stored in Postgresql
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
/// <returns></returns>
IMartenQueryable<T> Query<T>();

To query for all documents of a type - not that you would do this very often outside of testing - use the Query<T>() method like this:

public async Task get_all_documents_of_a_type(IDocumentSession session)
{
    // Calling ToArray() just forces the query to be executed
    var targets = await session.Query<Target>().ToListAsync();
}

^{snippet source | anchor}

At this point, Marten's Linq support has been tested against these .Net types:

1. String
2. Int32 & Int64 (int and long)
3. Decimal (float)
4. DateTime and DateTimeOffset
5. Enum values
6. Nullable<T> of all of the above types
7. Boolean
8. Double
9. Float
