[maulik-modi]

Question 1: How to do ODataQueryOptions imperative style handling instead of Processing query in Action filter [EnableQuery]. We would like to avoid bringing DataContext to Controller at all costs.

Question 2: How to declare controller action method and what will be the route?

myBusinessService.cs

IList<T> ApplyUserFilters(ODataQueryOptions userFilterCriteria)
{
   //this includes various filters for Ownership of data based on logged in user
    var myQuery = GetQuery();

  //apply userFilterCriteria on top 
   var finalQuery = myQuery.Apply(userFilterCrtieria)

  //materialise and return result;
  return finalQuery.toList();
}
