Decode.Extensions

General purpose extension methods for .NET basic types, designed to simplify common operations like type conversion, enum parsing, and validation.

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Decode.Extensions

🛠️ Usage

1. Object Extensions (Type Conversion)

The library provides a suite of methods to handle type conversion safely and concisely.

Basic Conversion (To<T>)

Converts an object to a target type.

string input = "100";
int value = input.To<int>();
Safe Conversion with Default (ToOrDefault<T>)

Returns the default value of T if the input is null or conversion fails.

string? invalidInput = "abc";
int value = invalidInput.ToOrDefault<int>(); // returns 0
Safe Conversion to Nullable (ToOrNull<T>)

Returns null if the input is null or conversion fails (for value types).

string? input = "not a number";
int? value = input.ToOrNull<int>(); // returns null

2. Enum Extensions

Parse to Enum (ToEnum<T>)
string statusStr = "Active";
var status = statusStr.ToEnum<UserStatus>();
Safe Parse to Enum (ToEnumOrNull<T>)
string? invalidStatus = "UnknownValue";
var status = invalidStatus.ToEnumOrNull<UserStatus>(); // returns null

3. Validation

Check if Parseable (IsParseableTo<T>)

Returns true if the conversion is possible without throwing an exception.

object rawValue = "123";
if (rawValue.IsParseableTo<int>())
{
    // safe to convert
}
