How to display a list of employees attached to animals?

Question

ASP.NET

I have 2 models - animals and employees. I want to link them together and bring out several employees who are tied to one animal and I don't know how to do it. Through models, controllers or views?

Animals

public class Animal
    {
        
        [Key]
        public int AnimalId { get; set; }

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public string Type { get; set; }

        public Eat Eats { get; set; }

        public int StaffId { get; set; }

        public virtual Staff Staff { get; set; }

    }

Employee model

public class Staff
    {
        [Key]
        public int StaffId { get; set; }

        public string SecondName { get; set; }

        public string FirstName { get; set; }

        public int Age { get; set; }

        public int Exp { get; set; }

        public int Pay{ get; set; }

        public ICollection<Animal> Animals { get; set; }

    }

Answer 1

via LINQ

Answer 2

1. You have "several employees who are tied to one animal" does not match your own code. Your animals only have 1 employee. You have a 1 to many relationship. For "several employees who are tied to one animal" you need "many-to-many".
2. "Through models, controllers or views?". Through everything. The controller sends a model to the View, which is rendered in the View.
3. Solution:
3.1 First make a many-to-many relationship:

public class Animal
{
  [Key]
  public int AnimalId { get; set; }

  public string Name { get; set; }

  public string Type { get; set; }

  public Eat Eats { get; set; }

  public virtual ICollection<Staff> { get; set; }
}

3.2. Use this in code:

//Метод контроллера, который вызывается при переходе на страницу. (example: localhost/Home/ShowStaff/2959)
public async Task<IActionResult> ShowStaff(int animalId)
{
  var result = await context.Animals.Include(x => x.Staff).FirstOrDefault(x => x.AnimalId == animalId); //Получаем всех сотрудников для животного
  return View(result); //отдаем результат во view
}
