This repository provides a reflection-based cloner which copies over anything it can find while also considering the original object references (eg. two child-objects having the same reference to the parent object).

No class-attributes required.

Supported Types

Generally speaking, everything imaginable should be clonable.

However, instances of the following have been covered by tests.

  • primitives
  • strings
  • classes
  • structs
  • arrays (inluding ragged- and multidimensional arrays)
  • collections (List, Dictionary)
  • delegates (Func)
  • null
  • dynamic (ExpandoObject)

Should you find something which refuses to be cloned, please raise an issue in this repository.

Installation

Simply use the Visual Studio NuGet Package Manager and look for MirrorClone.

Alternatively, you can use the Package Manager Console as such:

Install-Package Skelp.MirrorClone

If you want to use the .NET CLI, you can use the following command:

dotnet add package Skelp.MirrorClone

Getting Started

The package consists of of two namespaces.

  1. Skelp.MirrorClone consists of the actual Cloner class
  2. Skelp.MirrorClone.Extensions provides object extensions

Choose either of them to get started.

Using The object Extensions

using Skelp.MirrorClone.Extensions;

[...]

YourObject objectToClone = new YourObject();

// This is what will be called 99.9% of the time
var clonedObject = objectToClone.MirrorClone();

// Alternatively, if object is deeply nested and presents stack overflow concerns
// this will catch any stack overflow from crashing the application
bool success = objectToClone.TryMirrorClone(out YourObject clonedObject);

Using The Cloner Class

using Skelp.MirrorClone;

[...]

YourObject objectToClone = new YourObject();

var cloner = new Cloner();

// This is what will be called 99.9% of the time
var clonedObject = cloner.Clone(objectToClone);

// Alternatively, if object is deeply nested and presents stack overflow concerns
// this will catch any stack overflow from crashing the application
bool success = cloner.TryClone(objectToClone, out YourObject clonedObject);
