CSharpEssentials.Clone

CSharpEssentials.Clone provides a type-safe generic cloning interface and extension methods. It addresses the limitations of the legacy System.ICloneable by providing a strongly-typed ICloneable<T>.

🚀 Features

  • Generic ICloneable<T>: Type-safe interface for implementing clone behavior.
  • Collection Extensions: Easily clone IEnumerable<T> and IQueryable<T> collections where items implement ICloneable<T>.

📦 Installation

dotnet add package CSharpEssentials.Clone

🛠 Usage

1. Implementing ICloneable<T>

Implement the interface in your classes to define how they should be copied.

using CSharpEssentials.Clone;

public class User : ICloneable<User>
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public Address Address { get; set; }

    public User Clone()
    {
        return new User
        {
            Name = this.Name,
            Address = this.Address.Clone() // Assuming Address also implements ICloneable<Address>
        };
    }
}

2. Cloning Collections

Use the Clone() extension method to deeply copy collections of cloneable items.

using CSharpEssentials.Clone;

var users = new List<User>
{
    new User { Name = "Alice" },
    new User { Name = "Bob" }
};

// Creates a new IEnumerable where each User is cloned
var clonedUsers = users.Clone();
