Stringly

The most over-engineered way to build a string. On purpose.

using static Stringly.Say;

Console.WriteLine(One().Three().Three().Seven());   // 1337
Console.WriteLine(H().e().l().l().o());              // Hello
Console.WriteLine(Four().Two());                     // 42, the answer to everything

"strongly typed" is good engineering. "stringly typed" — shoving everything into strings — is the opposite. Stringly commits to it completely: a fluent API where you spell strings out one token at a time.

How it reads

Each token is a method that appends one character and returns a Phrase, so it keeps chaining:

using static Stringly.Say;

string motd = H().i().Bang();        // "Hi!"
string pi   = "3" + Period() + "14159".One().Four();   // operator math: "3.1415914"... (see below)

What you can do

Feature Example Result
Digits & letters One().Two().Three() / H().e().y() "123" / "Hey"
Symbols At().Hash().Star() "@#*"
Splice a word Say.Text("copy").Question() "copy?"
Repeat last token S().o().Repeat(5) "Soooooo"
Case math H().i().ToUpperInvariant() "HI"
Backspace (<<) One().Two().Three() << 1 "12"
Concatenation Four().Two() + " " + ("o".O().k()) "42 ok"

The extension contract (this is the real point)

The vocabulary is meant to grow from other packages. The whole contract is:

Write an extension method on Phrase, call the public Add, return a Phrase.

namespace Stringly.Nato;

public static class NatoExtensions
{
    public static Phrase Alpha(this Phrase p) => p.Add('A');
    public static Phrase Bravo(this Phrase p) => p.Add('B');

    // macros compose existing tokens for free:
    public static Phrase TenFour(this Phrase p) => p.Add("10-4");
}

Consumers reference Stringly + your pack and everything chains in one expression. With C# 14 extension members a pack can even contribute its own chain-starting entry points.

Notes

  • Phrase is immutable: every call returns a new phrase, nothing is rendered until ToString(). That makes + and << safe and keeps intermediate strings from piling up.
  • using static Stringly.Say; is what unlocks the bare One() entry calls.
  • Requires .NET 10 / C# 14.
