DGMJR Abstractions

A collection of abstractions/interfaces (i.e., data contracts) for uses in onther projects.

Common Data Types

This library provides a set of interfaces that can be used to define common functionality for different types of objects.

Interfaces

The following interfaces are defined in this library:

IAsyncDisposable

Defines the ValueTask DisposeAsync() method (for .NET Standard 2.1+) or the Task DisposeAsync() method (for <= .NET Standard 2.0)

IHaveA[Writable]Description

Defines the string Description {get;} property.

IHaveA[Writable]Name

Defines the string Name {get;[set;]} property.

IHaveA[Writable]Uri

Defines the System.Uri Uri {get;[set;]} property.

IHaveA[Writable]Value

Defines the object Value {get;[set;]} property.

IHaveA[Writable]Value{TValue}

Defines the TValue Value {get;[set;]} property.

IIdentifiable

Defines the object Id {get;} property.

IHaveAWritableId

Defines the object Id {get;set;} property.

IIdentifiable{TId}

Defines the TId Id {get;} property.

IHaveAWritableId{TId}

Defines the TId Id {get;set;} property.

ILog

Defines the ILogger Logger {get;} property

IUriConvertible

Defines the static abstract methods FromUri(string s) and FromUri(System.Uri uri) for classes to be able to define a way to convert themselves from a URI (.NET 7.0+ only)

Usage

To use these interfaces, simply add them to your class or struct definition. For example:

public class MyClass : IAsyncDisposable, IHaveADescription, IHaveAName, IHaveAUri, IHaveAValue, ILog
{
    public MyClass(ILogger<MyClass> logger)
    {
        Logger = logger;
    }

    public async Task DisposeAsync()
    {
        Logger.LogInformation($"Perfoming clean-up task on {nameof(MyClass)}...");
        /* perform asynchronous task clean-up */
    }

    public ILogger Logger { get; }

    public string Description { get; }

    public string Name { get; }

    public Uri Uri { get; }

    public object Value { get; }
}

You can then use these interfaces to access the properties and methods of your class or struct. For example:

var myClass = new MyClass
{
    Description = "This is a description of my class";
    Name = "MyClass";
    Uri = new Uri("https://www.example.com");
    Value = "My value";
}

await myClass.DisposeAsync();

Conclusion

These interfaces provide a way to define common functionality for different types of objects. By using these interfaces, you can make your code more consistent and easier to maintain.
