🚀 GuardX – Robust Guard & Validation Library for .NET

NuGet
NuGet Downloads
License

GuardX is a lightweight, high-performance guard and validation library for .NET developers.
It helps you write cleaner code by eliminating repetitive null checks, argument validations, and business-rule validations.

✅ Dependency-free – works everywhere
✅ Optimized for performance – zero overhead guards
✅ Multi-targeted – net8.0, net6.0, netstandard2.0
✅ Extensible – add custom guards easily

📦 Installation

Install via NuGet:

dotnet add package GuardX

Or via Package Manager:

Install-Package GuardX

⚡ Quick Start

Null / Empty Checks

using GuardX;

public class UserService
{
    public void Register(string username, string email)
    {
        Guard.Against.NullOrWhiteSpace(username, nameof(username));
        Guard.Against.NullOrWhiteSpace(email, nameof(email));

        // Business logic continues...
    }
}

Range Checks

Guard.Against.OutOfRange(age, nameof(age), 18, 99);

Custom Validations

Guard.Against.Condition(password.Length < 8, "Password must be at least 8 characters.");

🔥 Why GuardX?

  • Eliminate repetitive boilerplate validations
  • Fail fast with clear exceptions
  • Improve readability & maintainability
  • Works seamlessly in APIs, Microservices, Console apps, and Libraries
  • Built with best practices & performance in mind

🛠️ Roadmap

  • Basic guards (Null, Empty, Range, Condition)
  • Advanced guards (Regex, Email, Phone, GUID, URL, etc.)
  • ASP.NET Core Middleware for automatic model validation
  • Source Generator for compile-time validation
  • Caching & Resilience Guards
