Extensions

Getting Started

The VersaTul Extensions project provides a variety of methods for manipulating arrays, performing conversions and other common functionalities.

Installation

To use VersaTul Extensions, first install it using nuget:

PM> NuGet\Install-Package VersaTul.Extensions -Version latest

Main Components

ArrayExtensions : Class containing all methods for extending arrays.
CommonExtensions : Class containing all methods for common functionality.
ConvertExtensions : Class containing all methods for extending object conversions.
CurrencyExtensions : Class containing all methods for extending currency manipulations.

Functional Summary

IEnumerable<T> ArrayExtensions.Pick<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, int amount) : Randomly selects the given amount of items from a collection.
string CommonExtensions.ToCamelCase(this string phrase) : Converts the first letter of the first word to lower case.
T ConvertExtensions.To<T>(this object value) : Returns an object of the specified type and whose value is equivalent to the specified object.
long CurrencyExtensions.ToMicron(this decimal amount) : Converts the given amount to micros. It Multiplies the value by one million.

Code Examples

Random Selection Example

using VersaTul.Extensions;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var array = new List<string> { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10" };

        // Value will be a new array containing 5
        // randomly selected strings from the given array.
        var value = array.Pick(5);
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
}

Different Conversion Examples

using VersaTul.Extensions;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var intVal = "123";

        var newIntVal = intVal.To<int>(); //To Int

        var decimalVal = "123.22";

        var newDecimalVal = decimalVal.To<decimal>(); //To decimal

        // Array Type conversion
        var list = new List<string> { "1", "2", "3", "4" };

        // convert from string to int
        var newList = list.To<string, int>().ToList(); //To array of int
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
}
