Features

1. String Validation & Manipulation

using Dev.Util.Core;

// Regex Validation (v1.3.0)
bool isEmail = "user@example.com".IsValidEmail();
bool isUrl = "https://google.com".IsValidUrl();
bool isStrong = "MyP@ssw0rd!".IsStrongPassword(minLength: 8);

// Manipulation
string partial = "Hello World".Truncate(5); // "Hello..."
string slug = "Hello World!".ToSlug(); // "hello-world"
int value = "123".ToInt();

2. DateTime & TimeSpan Power

using Dev.Util.Core;

// DateTime
var startOfWeek = DateTime.Now.StartOfWeek(DayOfWeek.Monday);
var age = new DateTime(1990, 1, 1).Age();

// TimeSpan (v1.3.0)
var duration = TimeSpan.FromHours(2.5).ToHumanReadable(); // "2h 30m"
var hz = 60.FromFrequency(); // 00:00:00.0166667

3. Enum & Bitwise Operations

using Dev.Util.Core;

[Flags]
enum Permissions { Read = 1, Write = 2, Execute = 4 }

// Bitwise (v1.3.0)
var p = Permissions.Read;
p = p.Set(Permissions.Write); // Read | Write
bool canWrite = p.IsSet(Permissions.Write); // true
p = p.Toggle(Permissions.Execute); // Read | Write | Execute

4. Guard Clauses

Fluent argument validation to replace repetitive if (arg == null) throw ....

public void ProcessUser(User user, string name)
{
    Guard.AgainstNull(user, nameof(user));
    Guard.AgainstNullOrWhiteSpace(name, nameof(name));
}
