How to use the Notification class:

First install the package, for example:

<PackageReference Include="LSCode.Notifications" Version="x.x.x" />

In the file that you want to use the class, you must import the following namespace:

using LSCode.Notifications.Models;

It is composed with 2 properties:

• Property - string type, with default value of true
• Message - string type, Detailed description of the inconsistency found

Then you can create an instance of notification, passing by parameter:

• Property
• Message

using LSCode.Notifications.Models;

namespace MyNamespace
{
  public class MyClass
  {
    public MyClass() { }

    public Notification Method()
    {
	  var property = "Password";
	  var message = "The password must contain a maximum of 6 characters";

      var notification = new Notification(property, message);

      return notification;
    }
  }
}

How to use Notifiable class:

First install the package, for example:

<PackageReference Include="LSCode.Notifications" Version="x.x.x" />

In the file that you want to use the service, you must import the following namespace:

using LSCode.Notifications.Models;

Then it will be possible to inherit the notifiable class. It is not possible to create an instance of the class, it is only possible to inherit it.

It is composed with 3 properties:

• Valid - boolean type, with default value of true
• Invalid - boolean type, with default value of false
• Notifications - list of notifications, with default value of an empty list

The values ​​of these properties are modified only through the AddNotification() method, being applied:

• Valid - the value is set to false
• Invalid - the value is set to true
• Notifications - a notification is added to the list

It is possible to add notifications through the AddNotification() method, which has 5 overloads:

  void AddNotification(string property, string message);
  void AddNotification(Notification notification);
  void AddNotification(IEnumerable<Notification> notifications);
  void AddNotification(Notifiable notifiable);
  void AddNotification(IEnumerable<Notifiable> notifiableList);

It is possible to clear the list of notifications and return to the initial state of all properties with the Clear() method:

  void Clear();

Below is a simple example of using one of the overloads of the AddNotification() method, in the private IsValid() method:

using LSCode.Notifications.Models;

namespace MyNamespace
{
  public class MyClass : Notifiable
  {
    public string Login { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }

    public MyClass() 
    { 
      Login = string.Empty;
      Password = "this is my long password";

      var valid = IsValid();
    }

    private bool IsValid()
    {      
      if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Login))
        AddNotification("Login", "The login must not be null, empty or blanks");

      if (Password.Length > 6)
        AddNotification("Password", "The password must contain a maximum of 6 characters");

      return Valid;
    }
  }
}

Following the example above, inconsistencies were found as a result, so two Notifications were added, the Valid property receives a value of false and the Invalid property receives a value of true.

To exemplify the use of the Valid and Invalid properties, the IsValid() method will return the value of false contained in the Valid variable.

It is interesting to note that this return was made just to exemplify the use of the Valid and Invalid properties, as it is possible to obtain this data at any time in the class.

To finish, this will be the result represented in JSON:

  {
    "Login": "",
    "Password": "this is my long password",
    "Valid": false,
    "Invalid": true,
    "Notification": [
      {
        "Property": "Login",
        "Message": "The login must not be null, empty or blanks"
      },
      {
        "Property": "Password",
        "Message": "The password must contain a maximum of 6 characters"
      }
    ]
  }
