StrongOf

StrongOf helps to implement primitives as a strong type that represents a domain object (e.g. UserId, EmailAddress, etc.). It is a simple class that wraps a value and provides a few helper methods, preventing parameter-order bugs at compile time.

Available Base Types

Base Class Wraps
StrongString<T> string
StrongGuid<T> Guid
StrongInt32<T> int
StrongInt64<T> long
StrongDecimal<T> decimal
StrongChar<T> char
StrongDateTime<T> DateTime
StrongDateTimeOffset<T> DateTimeOffset

Quick Start

// Define your types using the CRTP pattern
public sealed class UserId(Guid value) : StrongGuid<UserId>(value) { }
public sealed class Email(string value) : StrongString<Email>(value) { }

// Instantiation
UserId userId = new(Guid.NewGuid());  // preferred — fastest
UserId userId2 = UserId.From(Guid.NewGuid()); // via cached factory delegate

// Accessing the value
Guid rawId = userId.Value;

// Nullable factory
UserId? optional = UserId.From(nullableGuid);

// TryParse
bool parsed = UserId.TryParse("550e8400-...", out UserId? id);

// Strongly-typed comparison and sorting
bool equal = userId == userId2;
ids.Sort(); // works via IComparable<T>

Generic TypeConverters

The StrongOf package ships generic TypeConverter implementations for each base type, usable directly in domain types via the [TypeConverter] attribute:

[TypeConverter(typeof(StrongGuidTypeConverter<UserId>))]
public sealed class UserId(Guid value) : StrongGuid<UserId>(value) { }

Available converters: StrongStringTypeConverter<T>, StrongGuidTypeConverter<T>, StrongInt32TypeConverter<T>, StrongInt64TypeConverter<T>, StrongDecimalTypeConverter<T>, StrongDateTimeTypeConverter<T>.

Interfaces

  • IStrongOf — base marker interface
  • IStrongString, IStrongGuid, IStrongInt32, etc. — for generic constraints
  • IValidatable — for types that validate their own format via IsValidFormat()
