Cogito.Core

The base utility library the rest of the Cogito family is built on: extension methods and small types that fill gaps in the BCL.

Why

Every codebase accumulates the same handful of helpers — a null-safe EmptyIfNull, an async lock, a dictionary that creates missing entries, reflection helpers that walk property paths. This is that set, written once and shared, rather than copied into each project.

Install

dotnet add package Cogito.Core

What's in it

LINQ and collections — EmptyIfNull, Expand, AnyAsync / AllAsync, Combinatorials, DemandDictionary (a dictionary that produces a value on first access).

Async — AsyncLock and AsyncManualResetEvent, for coordination in code that cannot block.

Reflection — GetPropertyOrField, GetPropertyOrFieldFromPath, GetAssignableTypes, GetTargetMemberInfo, and assembly-name helpers.

Text and bytes — byte-array helpers, media-type resolution.

.NET Framework only — members .NET has and .NET Framework lacks, named and shaped as in .NET and placed in the matching Cogito namespace: Cogito.Numerics.BitOperations.LeadingZeroCount and Cogito.Collections.Generic.CollectionExtensions.GetValueOrDefault. Import both, for example System.Numerics and Cogito.Numerics, and the same call compiles on both: on .NET it binds to the built-in member. For other APIs .NET has and .NET Framework lacks, use Polyfill.

Files — DelayedFileSystemWatcher, which coalesces the burst of events the framework watcher raises for a single logical change.

Cogito.Linq is the namespace most consumers want; it is in this package.
