Dev.Util.IO

Professional file system and compression utilities for the Dev.Util ecosystem. Simplify complex path logic and archiving operations.

NuGet Version

๐Ÿ“ฆ Installation

dotnet add package Dev.Util.IO

โœจ Features

  • ๐Ÿ“‚ Directory Intelligence: Ensure trees exist or calculate directory sizes recursively.
  • ๐Ÿ“„ File Privacy: Safe file writes and path normalization.
  • ๐Ÿ—œ๏ธ Compression: High-level extensions for Zip and GZip logic.
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Path Safety: Convert messy user input into safe system filenames.
  • ๐Ÿงน Cleanup Utilities: Recursive deletion that handles locked file edge-cases.

๐Ÿ›  Usage Examples

1. File & Directory Orchestration

Avoid common "DirectoryNotFound" exceptions.

using Dev.Util.IO;

var myFile = new FileInfo(@"C:\App\Config\settings.json");

// Creates 'App' and 'Config' folders if they don't exist
myFile.EnsureDirectoryExists();

// Get directory size in bytes
long size = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Data").GetSize();

2. Sanitizing Filenames

Perfect for handling file uploads from web users.

using Dev.Util.IO;

string input = "User Resume / 2024?.pdf";
string safe = input.ToSafeFileName(); 
// Result: "User Resume  2024 .pdf"

3. Zip Archiving

Compress folders or extract packages with a single method.

using Dev.Util.IO;

var source = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Reports");
var target = @"C:\Archives\July.zip";

// Zips the entire directory
source.ZipTo(target);

// Extension on string for extraction
target.UnzipTo(@"C:\Extract");

4. Memory Stream Compression (GZip)

Efficiently compress strings or byte arrays for storage or transport.

using Dev.Util.IO;

string longText = "...large dataset...";
byte[] compressed = longText.Compress();

// Revert
string original = compressed.Decompress();

5. Advanced System Queries

// Get the "real" path (resolving symbolic links or relative dots)
string path = "./temp/../data/".ToFullPath();

All IO operations are designed to be thread-safe where possible and respect system permissions.
