CollectionFactory 1.2.0

Collection Factory

It's a set of factory methods such as ListOf(1, 2) or ListOf<int>() to create the basic generic collections. Package was inspired by Kotlin language.

Reason of use

Why you should use it.? The main reason is much more clean code and providing more "functional programing style in C#".

using static System.Collections.Factory;

...

var dict = new Dictionary<int, string>(){ { 1, "Test" }, { 1, "Test" }, { 1, "Test" } };

var dict = DictionaryOf((1, "Test"), (1, "Test"), (2, "Test"));


var items = new List<int> { 5, 5, 6, 7 };

var items = ListOf(5, 5, 6, 7);

You can use also more shortened version with abbreviations of factory method.

using static System.Collections.AbbreviationFactory;

...

var dict = new Dictionary<int, string>(){ { 1, "Test" }, { 1, "Test" }, { 1, "Test" } };

var dict = DictOf((1, "Test"), (1, "Test"), (2, "Test"));


var items = new Collection<int> { 5, 5, 6, 7 };

var items = CollectOf(5, 5, 6, 7);

Optionaly you can use factory methods to create empty collections.

var dict = new Dictionary<int, string>();

var dict = DictionaryOf<int, string>();
var dict = DictOf<int, string>();
