Support no ContainerModel #48

Closed h3rmanj closed 3 years ago

h3rmanj commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure why a ContainerModel is needed for the QueryBuilder. It would be nice if you could just pass a string to .For<>():

var uri = new ODataQueryBuilder()
    .For<ODataTypeEntity>("ODataTypeEntity")
    .ByKey("223123123")
    .ToUri()

It's not the biggest hassle to create a ContainerModel though, so this would just be a nice to have.

Hey! In general, I do not mind supporting this. The ContainerModel is required to type the resource name, nothing more.

I think I figured out the problem. Everything I've done now is focused on the Container which is automatically generated by this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=marketplace.ODataConnectedService but you are using something else, and you simply do not have it. I will try to take this into account in PR.

Ah, yes, I've only used some shared models that the OData API exposes. Maybe the Usage section in the readme should contain a note about the ConnectedService generation as well?

I'll try to use it tomorrow, but I know I have tried earlier with some OData API's that the ConnectedService couldn't generate, so this would still be nice to have!
