CSharpEssentials.Any

Discriminated Unions (Sum Types) for .NET. A type-safe way to represent a value that can be one of several fixed types.

Features

  • Unions of 2–8 types — Any<T0, T1> through Any<T0, ..., T7>.
  • Implicit Conversions — Assign values directly to the union type.
  • Pattern Matching — Switch and Match for exhaustive handling.
  • Type Helpers — Is<T>, As<T>, TryAs<T>, Deconstruct, ToTuple.
  • JSON Support — Built-in serialization.

Installation

dotnet add package CSharpEssentials.Any

Usage

Creating Unions

using CSharpEssentials.Any;

Any<string, int> ParseInput(string input)
{
    if (int.TryParse(input, out int n))
        return n; // implicit to Any<string, int>
    return input;
}

Pattern Matching

Any<string, int> result = ParseInput("123");

string output = result.Match(
    first: str => $"String: {str}",
    second: num => $"Number: {num}");

result.Switch(
    first: str => Console.WriteLine("It's a string"),
    second: num => Console.WriteLine("It's a number"));

Type Checking

if (result.IsSecond)
{
    int val = result.GetSecond();
}

// Generic helpers
bool isInt = result.Is<int, string, int>();
int? asInt = result.As<int, string, int>();
bool found = result.TryAs<int, string, int>(out int value);

Multiple Types

Any<string, int, Exception> response = GetData(5);

response.Switch(
    first: s => Console.WriteLine($"Success: {s}"),
    second: i => Console.WriteLine($"NotFound: {i}"),
    third: e => Console.WriteLine($"Error: {e.Message}"));
