Frank.Reflection 1.3.0

Frank.Reflection

Initially a slimmed down "fork" of Namotion.Refection, (also MIT licensed), but it is evolving into something else.

Installation

NuGet

dotnet add package Frank.Reflection

Usage

Get the name of a type

var name = typeof(Person).GetDisplayName();

Check if a type has a property by name

var hasProperty = typeof(Person).HasProperty("Name");

Try to get the value of a property

var person = new Person { Name = "Bill" };
var hasValue = person.TryGetPropertyValue<T>("Name", out var value);

if (hasValue)
{
    Console.WriteLine(value);
}

Frank.Reflection.Dump

A library to dump types to a string that is compilable into a new type. This is useful for generating code from types, for example when generating code for a collection of suppliers to use in a test.

Usage

var type = typeof(Persons);
var dump = type.DumpClass();

namespace GeneratedCode;

public static class GeneratedPerson
{
    public static Person Get()
    {
        return new Person
        {
            Name = "Frank",
            Age = 30,
            Address = new Address
            {
                Street = "Street",
                Number = 1
            }
        };
    }
}
