Basic Usage Examples

Convert from a string to an int

using Transformer;

string? myString = "123";

var myInt = myString.ToNonNullableType<int>();

Console.WriteLine(myInt);

Convert from a string to a date time

using Transformer;

string? myString = "1/1/2023";

var myDateTime = myString.ToNonNullableType<DateTime>();

Console.WriteLine(myDateTime);

Convert from a string to a nullable int

using Transformer;

string? myString = "123A";

var myInt = myString.ToNullableType<int>();

Console.WriteLine(myInt); // returns null

var myInt2 = myString.ToNullableType<int>(false);

Console.WriteLine(myInt2); // returns 0

Convert from an int to a float

using Transformer;

var myInt = 1;

var myFloat = myInt.ToNonNullableType<float>();

Console.WriteLine(myFloat);

Test if string is parseable to an int

using Transformer;

string? myString = "123A";

Console.WriteLine(myString.IsParseable<int>()); // returns false

string? myNullString = null;

Console.WriteLine(myNullString.IsParseable<int>()); // returns false
Console.WriteLine(myNullString.IsParseable<int>(allowNullable: true)); // returns true

Transform one ICollection to another

var list = new List<string>() { "1", "bob", "apple", "2", "3", "4", "5" };

var transformedList = list.ToNonNullableCollectionType<List<string>, string, List<int>, int>();

foreach (var item in transformedList.TransformationSuccesses)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item);
}

Console.WriteLine();

foreach (var item in transformedList.TransformationFailures)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item);
}
