PowerCSharp.Core 2.0.3

PowerCSharp.Core

The foundational core of the PowerCSharp ecosystem, providing centralized interfaces, models, and base functionality for all PowerCSharp packages. This package has been refactored to provide a clean, dependency-free foundation with improved architectural separation.

📦 Package Information

• Package ID: PowerCSharp.Core
• Version: 0.3.0
• Target Frameworks: .NET 8.0, .NET Standard 2.0
• Dependencies: None (dependency-free)

🏗️ Architecture Overview

PowerCSharp.Core serves as the architectural foundation for the entire PowerCSharp ecosystem:

Centralized Interfaces

All interfaces are centralized in PowerCSharp.Core to maintain proper architectural separation:

• PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Extensions.Configuration - Configuration-related interfaces
• PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Extensions.Linq - LINQ and dynamic query interfaces
• PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Models - Model classes (reserved for future use)

Benefits

• Single source of truth for contracts and abstractions
• Consistent namespace organization across packages
• Easy dependency management across the ecosystem
• Clear architectural boundaries between packages

🚀 Installation

dotnet add package PowerCSharp.Core

📚 Available Interfaces

Configuration Interfaces

IAppOptions

Namespace: PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Extensions.Configuration

Represents the interface for application options.

public interface IAppOptions
{
    string ConfigSectionPath { get; }
}

Usage Example:

using PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Extensions.Configuration;

public class MyAppOptions : IAppOptions
{
    public string ConfigSectionPath => "MyApp";
    public string ApiKey { get; set; }
    public int Timeout { get; set; }
}

LINQ & Dynamic Query Interfaces

IDynamicFilterProvider<T>

Namespace: PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Extensions.Linq

Implement a Service Provider for dynamically filtering of the type T using Dynamic Expressions.

public interface IDynamicFilterProvider<T>
{
    void SetFilter(Func<T, bool> filter);
    Func<T, bool> GetFilter();
}

IDynamicOrderProvider<T>

Namespace: PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Extensions.Linq

Implement a Service Provider for dynamically ordering of the type T using Dynamic Expressions.

public interface IDynamicOrderProvider<T>
{
    void SetOrderDelegates(List<(Func<T, object>, bool)> delegates);
    List<(Func<T, object>, bool)> GetOrderDelegates();
}

Usage Example:

using PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Extensions.Linq;

// Create a dynamic filter provider
var filterProvider = new DynamicFilterProvider<Person>();
filterProvider.SetFilter(person => person.Age > 18 && person.Name.Contains("John"));

// Create a dynamic order provider
var orderProvider = new DynamicOrderProvider<Person>();
orderProvider.SetOrderDelegates(new List<(Func<Person, object>, bool)>
{
    (person => person.Name, false),  // Ascending by Name
    (person => person.Age, true)     // Descending by Age
});

🔗 Package Dependencies

PowerCSharp.Core has no external dependencies, making it lightweight and ideal for inclusion in any project.

Other PowerCSharp packages reference PowerCSharp.Core for:

• Shared interfaces and contracts
• Common base types
• Architectural consistency

🎯 Use Cases

When to Use PowerCSharp.Core

• Building custom PowerCSharp extensions that need to implement standard interfaces
• Creating applications that use multiple PowerCSharp packages
• Developing libraries that need to integrate with PowerCSharp ecosystem
• Ensuring type safety across PowerCSharp packages

Integration Examples

With PowerCSharp.Extensions

using PowerCSharp.Extensions;
using PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Extensions.Linq;

// Your custom filter implementation
public class PersonFilterProvider : IDynamicFilterProvider<Person>
{
    private Func<Person, bool> _filter;

    public void SetFilter(Func<Person, bool> filter) => _filter = filter;
    public Func<Person, bool> GetFilter() => _filter ?? (p => true);
}

// Use with PowerCSharp.Extensions
var people = new List<Person>();
var filtered = people.Filter(new PersonFilterProvider());

With Configuration

using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using PowerCSharp.Extensions;
using PowerCSharp.Core.Interfaces.Extensions.Configuration;

public class DatabaseOptions : IAppOptions
{
    public string ConfigSectionPath => "Database";
    public string ConnectionString { get; set; }
    public int Timeout { get; set; }
}

// Usage in application
var config = new ConfigurationBuilder().Build();
var dbOptions = config.GetOptions<DatabaseOptions>("Database");
