ZayniFramework.Logging 2.3.0

Formatting module example.

Add Formatting section in your app.config or web.config file if you are going to do some DateTime formatting.

<FormattingSettings>
    <DateTimeFormatStyle>
        <add language="zh-TW" format="yyyy/MM/dd" isDefault="true"/>
        <add language="zh-CN" format="yyyy/MM/dd"/>
        <add language="en-US" format="MM-dd-yyyy"/>
    </DateTimeFormatStyle>
</FormattingSettings>

Then you can add the Formatting Attribute in your Properties.

using ZayniFramework.Formatting;

public class MasterModel : BasicModel<MasterVModel>
{
    // For deep formatting
    [CollectionFormat()]
    public List<DetailModel> Details { get; set; }
    
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [DateFormat()]
    public DateTime Birthday { get; set; }

    [NumberFormat( Length = 2 )]
    public decimal Age { get; set; }
    
    [CollectionFormat()]
    public DetailInfoModel DetailInfo { get; set; }
}

public class MasterVModel : BasicViewModel
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Birthday { get; set; }

    public string Age { get; set; }

    // In the ViewModel only suppory 'String' property.
    //public DetailInfoModel DetailInfo { get; set; }
}

Finally, you can format the Model class like this:

// Test data here...
var model = new MasterModel();

model.Name       = "John";
model.Birthday   = new DateTime( 1988, 1, 1 );
model.Age        = 16;
model.DetailInfo = new DetailInfoModel() 
{ 
    InfoName = "JJJ", 
    NAVDate  = new DateTime( 2013, 5, 7 ) 
};
model.Details = new List<DetailModel>() 
{
    new DetailModel 
    {
        DetailName       = "IUIU",
        Length          = 3M,
        Pay             = 45673.52434M,
        NavDate         = new DateTime( 2013, 3, 5 ),
        Name            = "Joe",
        MaskStartIndex  = 1,
        MaskLength      = 1,
        Name2           = "Jimmy"
    },
    new DetailModel 
    {
        DetailName      = "Jack",
        Length          = 2M,
        Pay             = 785.5497M,
        NavDate         = new DateTime( 2013, 7, 5 ),
        Name            = "Kindding",
        MaskStartIndex  = 2,
        MaskLength      = 3,
        Name2           = "Ruby"
    }
};

// do the format here...
var viewModelType = typeof( MasterVModel );
var formatter     = new DataFormatter();
var result        = formatter.DoModelDeepFormat( model, viewModelType );

// get the format result here...
MasterModel  resultModel  = (MasterModel)result;
MasterVModel resultVModel = resultModel.ViewModel;

Or you can also use the Dynamic Formatting.

Then, you don't have to define a ViewModel class anymore. But the dynamic formatting is a little slower than using ViewModel formatting.

// Your class will extend the BasicDynamicModel instead of BasicModel
public class MasterModel2 : BasicDynamicModel

// Use dynamic formatting here...
var formatter = new DataFormatter();
object result = formatter.FormatDynamicModel( model );

// Get the dynamic formatting here...
MasterModel2 resultModel  = (MasterModel2)result;
dynamic      resultVModel = resultModel.ViewModel;  // dynamic type
