About Extreme Developer's Toys

In dotnet framework there aren't some useful features. These features are essential and every time we start a new project we need them so we look for them or rewrite them. In this package there are some useful feature for every great developer.

• ConcurrentList
  • like List<T> but thread safe.
• String Comparer Extensions
  • With this extension you can use every string comparison but configured in the same way of your database.
• String Extensions
  • It adds some feature like ReplaceFirst or ReplaceLast.
• URL base 64 encode & decode
  • String extension to encode string to valid url encoded 64 and viceversa.
• Reflection Extensions
  • It adds features to all object like SetPropertyValue and GetPropertyValue.
• Json Extensions
  • It adds features to all objects like .ToJson() and .ToObject() for the string type.
• Compression Extension
  • It adds features to all object to zip an instance of object.
• Serializer Extensions
  • It adds features to all object to serialize them to and from byte[]
• Cryptography Extensions
  • It adds feature to encrypt and decrypt strings
• List<> or IEnumerable<> Extensions
  • It adds feature to List and IEnumerable such 'Split'
• Visitor Extensions
  • It adds visitor (graph explorer\object tree explorer) to traverse object graph\aggregate

How to use

The first step is to install this package from Nuget.

Examples

Comcurrent List

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.Concurrent;

Now you can use ConcurrentList in a multi threading environment

ConcurrentList<int> list = new ConcurrentList<int>();
list.Add(i);

ConcurrentList<MyClass> list = new ConcurrentList<MyClass>();
list.Add(new MyClass() { Name = "Test"});

String Comparer Extension

With this extension you can compare string with Case Sensitive and Accent Sensitive options.

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.StringComparer;

Now you can compare strings with database rules

You can configure comparer rule once or use different configuration for every comparison.

In this example we use a global configuration

CompareSettings.Instance.GetSetting = () =>
{
    return new Settings()
    {
        CaseOption = CaseOptions.Insensitive,
        AccentOption = AccentOptions.Sensitive
    };
};

string s1 = "à1abbbcccaaabbbccc";
string s2 = "à1ABBBCCCAAABBBCCC";

Assert.True(s1.CompareToDevEx(s1) == 0);

In this example we use a specific configuration

var localSettings = new Settings()
{
    CaseOption = CaseOptions.Sensitive,
    AccentOption = AccentOptions.Sensitive
};
Assert.False(s1.CompareToDevEx(s2, localSettings) == 0);

String Extensions

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.Strings;

Now your strings have new features like ReplaceLast, ReplaceFirst

string s1 = "a1abbbcccaaabbbccc";
var r = s1.ReplaceLast("bbb", "ZZZ");

URL base 64 encode & decode

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.Url;

Now your strings have EncodeURL64 and DecodeURL64 methods

string sourceString = "Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create \r\nse non etterne, e io etterno duro. \r\nLasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate";
var encoded = sourceString.EncodeURL64();
var decoded = encoded.DecodeURL64();

Reflection Extensions

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.Reflection;

Now all objects have new features like:

• GetPropertyValue
• SetPropertyValue
• GetFieldValue
• SetFieldValue
• GetPropertyAttribute
• GetFiledAttribute

MyClass myClass = new MyClas();
myClass.SetPropertyValue(nameof(MyClas.Name), "My Name");

Json Extensions

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.JSon;

Now all objects have .ToJson() method and strings have .ToObject<>() method

TestClass myClass = new TestClass()
{
    Name = "My Name",
    Description = "My Description",
    Id = 10
};
var json = myClass.ToJSon();
TestClass deserialized = json.ToObject<TestClass>();

Compression Extensions

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.Compression;

Now all objects have .Zip() method and byte[] has .Unzip<>() method

MyClass myClass = new MyClass()
{
    Name = "My Name",
    Description = "My Description",
    Id = 10
};
var zip = myClass.Zip();
MyClass unZipped = zip.Unzip<MyClass>();

Serializer Extensions

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.Serialization;

Now all objects have .Zip() method and byte[] has .Unzip<>() method

MyClass myClass = new MyClass()
{
    Name = "My Name",
    Description = "My Description",
    Id = 10
};
var tmp = myClass.ToUTF8ByteArray();
MyClass deserialized = tmp.FromUF8ByteArray<MyClass>();

Cryptography Extensions

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.Strings;

Now all strings have .AesEncrypt method and .AesDecrypt methods

string key = "12345678901234567890123456789012";
string iv = "1234567890123456";
string plainText = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890";
string encrypted = plainText.AesEncrypt(key, iv);
string decrypted = encrypted.AesDecrypt(key, iv);

List<> or IEnumerable<> Extensions

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.List;

Now all List<> or IEnumerable<> have .Split method

IEnumerable<int> list = new[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
var subLists = list.Split(3);

List<int> list = new List<int>();
//...
var items = list.Split(3);

Visitor Extensions

Add this using

using DevExtremeToys.Visitors;

Now all objects .Visit method

MyClassA a = new MyClassA();
//...
//fill object properties (collection, objects, internals...)
//...
a.Visit((nodeInfo) =>
{
    //nodeInfo.CurrentPath
    //nodeInfo.CurrentPropertyInfo
    //nodeInfo.CurrentInstance
    //nodeInfo.ParentInstance
    //nodeInfo.ParentNode
    //nodeInfo.PropertyName
    Debug.WriteLine(nodeInfo.CurrentPath);
});

... New features are coming soon ...
