Reflectious

Reflectious simplifies, extends and optimises metaprogramming in C#. It combines techniques from Reflection, Expression Trees and Delegates.

Fluent API

The Reflectors can all be accessed using the static Reflect class. From there, you can find members and invoke them.

Invoke a method by name:

Reflect.Instance(obj)
    .GetMethod("DoTheThing")
    .Invoke();

Set a property from an expression:

Reflect.Instance(stub)
    .GetProperty(s => s.InstanceProperty)
    .SetValue("Test change");

Easily find a method overload:

bool containsAdults = Reflect.Type(typeof(Enumerable))
    .GetMethod("Any")
    .MakeGeneric<Person>()
    .WithParameters<IEnumerable<Person>, Func<Person, bool>>()
    .Invoke(people, a => a.Age >= 18);

Or find the extension and infer the types:

bool containsAdults = Reflect.Instance(people)
    .GetExtensionMethod(typeof(Enumerable), "Any")
    .WithParameters<Func<Person, bool>>()
    .Invoke(a => a.Age >= 18);

Resolve method parameters using IServiceProvider:

Reflect.Type<UserService>()
    .WithNewInstance()
    .GetMethod("CreateUser")
    .WithParameters<IUserRepository, UserConfiguration>()
    .FromServiceProvider(serviceProvider)
    .Invoke();

Even resolve the main instance using IServiceProvider:

Reflect.Type<UserService>()
    .WithNewInstance()
    .UsingConstructor<IUserRepository, UserConfiguration>()
    .WithArgumentsFromServiceProvider(sp)
    .GetMethod("CreateUser")
    .Invoke(newUser);
