ModularFramework.Utilities.PartialObject introduces PartialObject<T> to read and write properties of T partially.

This package is designed to support Patch updates to POCOs (Plain Old CLR Objects) with explicitly defined properties that are safe to read and modify.


Usage

Call the Patch method with the target object to apply changes.

public void Usage()
{
    var person = new Person { Name = "John", LastName = "Doe", Email = "john.doe@gmail.com" };
    var partialObject = new PartialObject<Person>();
    // Expression Indexer Access
    partialObject[x => x.Name] = "Jane";
    // String Indexer Access
    partialObject["LastName"] = "Smith";
    // Dynamic Access
    ((dynamic)partialObject).Email = "jane.smith@gmail.com";
    // Apply Changes
    partialObject.Patch(person);
    // Test
    person.Name.ShouldBe("Jane");
    person.LastName.ShouldBe("Smith");
    person.Email.ShouldBe("jane.smith@gmail.com");
}

System.Text.Json

Call the RegisterPartialObjectMetadata method to support PartialObject<T> serialization and deserialization.

public void Register(JsonSerializerOptions options)
{
    options.RegisterPartialObjectMetadata();
}

JSON Patch support in ASP.NET Core web API

[HttpPatch("{id}")]
public IActionResult Update(AppDb db, IValidator validator, string id, [FromBody] PartialObject<Customer> partialCustomer)
{
    // Retrieve the customer by ID
    var customer = db.Customers.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);

    // Return 404 Not Found if customer doesn't exist
    if (customer == null)
    {
        return NotFound();
    }

    partialCustomer.Patch(customer);

    // Validate the patched object after applying changes
    // to ensure business rules and invariants aren't violated.
    validator.Validate(customer, ModelState);

    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return BadRequest(ModelState);
    }

    return new ObjectResult(customer);
}
