Nextensions

A .NET utility library providing extension methods for common types to simplify development.

Features

1. int.ToMinutesAndSeconds()

Converts a total number of seconds into minutes and remaining seconds.

using Nextensions;

int totalSeconds = 1000;
var (minutes, seconds) = totalSeconds.ToMinutesAndSeconds();
// minutes = 16, seconds = 40

2. TimeSpan.ToReadableDuration()

Formats a TimeSpan into a human-readable string including days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

using Nextensions;

TimeSpan ts = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1000);
string readable = ts.ToReadableDuration();
// "16m 40s"

3. DateTime.ToReadableDuration(DateTime reference)

Computes a human-readable duration between two DateTime instances including years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

using Nextensions;

DateTime from = new DateTime(2023, 1, 1);
DateTime to = DateTime.Now;
string result = from.ToReadableDuration(to);
// e.g. "2y 9mo 12d 3h 15m 40s"

Installation

Add the library to your project:

dotnet add reference path/to/Nextensions.csproj

Or include it as a NuGet package once published.

Goals

• Simplify duration formatting and calculations
• Provide intuitive, human-readable outputs
• Integrate seamlessly as extensions in .NET projects
