Net.Urlify 1.0.0

Net.Urlify

Net.Urlify is a lightweight and powerful NuGet package designed to simplify the construction of URLs with query parameters in .NET applications. It provides a clean and fluent way to append query string parameters to URLs using property attributes.

Features

• Attribute-based Query Parameters: Define query parameters directly on model properties using the QueryStringPropertyAttribute.
• Automatic URL Encoding: Automatically handles the URL encoding of query parameters, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
• Flexible URL Construction: Seamlessly construct URLs with base paths and append query parameters dynamically extracted from object properties.

Getting Started

Usage

1. Define Your Model

   Start by decorating your model's properties with the QueryStringPropertyAttribute to specify which properties should be included as query string parameters:

using Net.Urlify.Attributes;

public class MyModel
{
    [QueryStringProperty("user", false)]
    public string Username { get; set; }

    [QueryStringProperty("age", true)]
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

In the above model, Username and Age are marked as query parameters. Username will use "user" as the query parameter name and will not be URL-encoded.

2. Inherit from Urlify

   Inherits from Urlify and defines a base URL. This class will use the properties of your model to build the full URL.

public class MyModel : Urlify
{
    [QueryStringProperty("user", false)]
    public string Username { get; set; }

    [QueryStringProperty("age", true)]
    public int Age { get; set; }

    public MyModel(string baseUrl) : base(baseUrl) { }
}

3. Construct the URL

   Call the BuildUrl() method to construct your URL:

var model = new MyModel("http://example.com")
{
    Username = "John Doe",
    Age = 28
};

var url = model.BuildUrl(); // Outputs: http://example.com?user=John%20Doe&age=28
