Eventualist.Extensions 4.0.0.4

Eventualist.Extensions

This package contains some small but handy extension methods

A number of simple extensions to bool, and collections. Mainly used for my own website, but you can peruse for your own pleasure.

• Bool: AddNot (transforms a string according to the value of the bool)
• Bool: ToYesOrNo (transforms bool to a yes or no)
• Collection: IsEmpty: returns true if collection is empty
• Collection: IsNotEmpty: returns true if collection is not empty
• Collection Divide: returns a list of sublists of the collections, with a specified maximumlength

In 1.0.0.13

• Memoize, to automatically cache function results. Just apply Memoize() to a Function object to get a memoized version. Caveats: it only works for up to two arguments, and it does not much benefit recursive functions.

In 2.0.0.0

• No new functionality but now compatible with .net 6.0. For compatibility with older versions use 1.0.0.19</Description>

In 2.0.0.9

• Added new functionality for Memoize: up to six arguments are now supported

In 2.0.0.15

• Updated to .NET 7. Added extra unit tests and null safety checks

In 3.0.0.9

• Update to .NET 8

In 3.0.0.17

• Added the MustComeBefore attribute to make sure dates in your model are always in the right order.

In 4.0.0.0

• Updated to .NET 9.0
• Added the MustComeBefore attribute to make sure dates in your model are always in the right order. This is useful for validating that a start date comes before an end date, for example.
• Updated the ExtendedDictionary to make it more performant and thread-safe.
• The ConvertToMimeType now handles a greater range of possibilities.
• The HasCorrectExtension method has been improved to handle more file types and extensions.
• The Titleize method has been improved to handle more edge cases and provide better title formatting.
• So has the Abbreviate method, which now handles more complex cases and provides better abbreviation results.
• The Truncate has been added which does not respect word boundaries, allowing for more precise truncation of strings.
• A StripHtml method has been added to remove HTML tags from strings, making it easier to work with plain text.
• Plus three small utility methods.

An example use of this would be:

    internal class TimePeriod
    {
        [MustComeBefore("EndDate")]
        public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }
    }

This attribute works with the standard .NET validators.
