dotnet add package C0deGeek.Extensions

Usage Examples

DateTime Utilities

// Set a fixed time for testing
GeekDateTime.SetUtcDateTime(new DateTime(2024, 1, 1));

// Get current time (mockable)
var now = GeekDateTime.UtcNow;

// Calculate years passed
var years = GeekDateTime.YearsPassed(startDate, endDate);

Type-Safe Enums

public class Status : TypeSafeEnumBase<Status>
{
    public static readonly Status Active = new("ACTIVE", "Active");
    public static readonly Status Inactive = new("INACTIVE", "Inactive");

    private Status(string code, string name) : base(code, name) { }
}

Extensions

// Collection extensions
collection.RemoveAll(x => x.IsObsolete);

// Decimal formatting
decimal value = 123.4500m;
string normalized = value.ToNormalizedString(); // "123.45"

// Enhanced null checks
if (str.IsNullOrEmptyOrWhiteSpace()) { }
