ImanSoftware.Extensions 1.0.4

ImanSoftware.Extensions

Version: 1.0.1 | Last Updated: August 2026

A lightweight collection of useful .NET extension methods that reduce boilerplate code and simplify everyday development.

ImanSoftware.Extensions provides a rich set of extension methods for the most commonly used .NET types, making your code cleaner, more expressive, and easier to maintain.

Installation

Install the package using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package ImanSoftware.Extensions

Why ImanSoftware.Extensions?

Every .NET project ends up implementing the same helper methods over and over again.

This package centralizes those common extensions into a single, dependency-free library.

Benefits include:

• Less repetitive code
• Improved readability
• Cleaner APIs
• Consistent helper methods across projects
• Lightweight and easy to use

Features

String Extensions

Useful helpers for working with strings.

Available methods:

• ToCamelCase()
• ToSnakeCase()
• Truncate()
• IsEmail()
• ExtractNumbers()
• NormalizeWhitespace()
• IsNullOrWhiteSpace()

Example:

using ImanSoftware.Extensions;

var text = "  hello    world  ";

var normalized = text.NormalizeWhitespace();
// hello world

var camel = text.ToCamelCase();
// helloWorld

var snake = text.ToSnakeCase();
// hello_world

var numbers = "Phone: +1 (234) 567-890".ExtractNumbers();
// 1234567890

DateTime Extensions

Utility methods for working with dates and times.

Available methods:

• StartOfDay()
• EndOfDay()
• StartOfWeek()
• Age()
• IsToday()
• ToUnixTimestamp()
• FromUnixTimestamp()

Example:

using ImanSoftware.Extensions;

var now = DateTime.Now;

var start = now.StartOfDay();
var end = now.EndOfDay();
var week = now.StartOfWeek();

var age = birthDate.Age();

bool isToday = now.IsToday();

long unix = now.ToUnixTimestamp();

DateTime date = DateTimeExtensions.FromUnixTimestamp(unix);

Enum Extensions

Additional functionality for enumerations.

Available methods:

• GetDescription()
• GetDisplayName()
• GetValues()
• ToInt()
• Parse()

Example:

var description = OrderStatus.Completed.GetDescription();

int value = OrderStatus.Completed.ToInt();

var status = EnumExtensions.Parse<OrderStatus>("Completed");

Enumerable Extensions

Helpful extensions for collections.

Available methods:

• IsNullOrEmpty()
• DistinctBy()
• Chunk()
• ForEach()
• ToHashSet()

Example:

var users = repository.GetUsers();

if (!users.IsNullOrEmpty())
{
    users.ForEach(Console.WriteLine);
}

var unique = users.DistinctBy(x => x.Id);

var groups = users.Chunk(10);

var hashSet = users.ToHashSet();

Object Extensions

General-purpose object helpers.

Available methods:

• ToJson()
• IsNull()
• ThrowIfNull()
• DeepCopy()

Example:

var json = user.ToJson();

user.ThrowIfNull();

var clone = user.DeepCopy();

bool isNull = user.IsNull();

Exception Extensions

Utilities for working with exceptions.

Available methods:

• GetFullMessage()
• GetFullStackTrace()
• Is<T>()
• GetInnermostException()

Example:

try
{
    // Code...
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.GetFullMessage());

    Console.WriteLine(ex.GetFullStackTrace());

    if (ex.Is<ArgumentException>())
    {
        // Handle argument exception
    }

    var inner = ex.GetInnermostException();
}

Example

using ImanSoftware.Extensions;

var name = "  hello world  ";

var normalized = name.NormalizeWhitespace();
// hello world

var camel = name.ToCamelCase();
// helloWorld

var snake = name.ToSnakeCase();
// hello_world

var date = DateTime.Now;

var startOfWeek = date.StartOfWeek();

var age = birthDate.Age();

long unix = date.ToUnixTimestamp();
