Quick Examples

using GPSoftware.Core.Extensions;

// --- Culture-aware Currency (v3.4.0 feature)
var price = new Currency(1250.50m);
string formatted = price.ToString(new CultureInfo("it-IT")); // "1.250,50 €"


// --- International SSN Validation
[SocialSecurityNumber(Country.Italy)]
public string MyTaxCode { get; set; }


// --- International SSN Validation
string ssnCode = "CRTGPR68H21G839X";
bool isValid = SocialSecurityValidator.Validate(ssnCode, Country.Italy);
if (!isValid)
{
    throw new Exception("Invalid Italian Fiscal code");
}


// --- Quickly check strings for multiple conditions
string? myData = "  ";
if (myData.IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace()) 
{
    // Do something
}


// --- Fluent conversions with fallback values
string input = "123";
int result = input.ToInt(defaultValue: 0);


// --- Slug generation for URLs
string title = "Hello World! This is a Test";
string slug = title.ToSlug(); // "hello-world-this-is-a-test"


// --- Collection & Mapping Helpers
var items = new List<string> { "A", "B", "C" };
var item = items.GetElementAtOrDefault(5); // Returns null instead of throwing exception
var batches = items.Chunk(2); // Splitting into smaller chunks of 2
