Useful bits of architecture and code for .NET projects

Lifetime Management (Lifetime / LifetimeDefinition)

Instead of the standard IDisposable pattern, which scales poorly across complex object hierarchies, Lifetime provides an advanced system for managing object lifecycles.

Leak Prevention

No longer need to remember to manually call Dispose() in multiple locations. A resource is simply "bound" to the current scope.

Hierarchical Structure:

Lifetime enables the creation of dependency trees. When a parent LifetimeDefinition is terminated, all child Lifetimes and their associated resources are automatically released.

Determinism:

All resources (such as files, network connections, or event subscriptions) are released predictably and in the correct order.

Path Buddy: Type-Safe Path Management

Path Buddy is a lightweight library designed to replace fragile string-based path manipulation with strongly-typed AbsolutePath and RelativePath objects. It integrates with a Lifetime system to handle temporary file cleanup automatically.

Purpose

The primary goal is to eliminate "path-string soup" and manual resource cleanup. By distinguishing between absolute and relative paths at the type level, PathBuddy prevents common bugs (like combining two absolute paths).

Intuitive Path Combining

Uses the / operator for clean, readable path joining (e.g., baseDir / "logs" / "app.log"), replacing cumbersome Path.Combine calls.

Other bits

  • Maybe monad
  • A couple of extensions for working with Dictionary:
    • GetOrCreateValue — encapsulation of often necessary action.
    • GetValueSafe — for use in places where it doesn't matter whether the value is in the Dictionary or not.
  • LeanList4 — list implementation that stores the first four elements inline and falls back to List.
  • Apply— function programming style method

# Lifetime Management (Lifetime / LifetimeDefinition)
     Instead of the standard `IDisposable` pattern, which scales poorly across complex object hierarchies, `Lifetime` provides an advanced system for managing object lifecycles.

     ## Leak Prevention
     No longer need to remember to manually call `Dispose()` in multiple locations. A resource is simply "bound" to the current scope.

     ## Hierarchical Structure:
     `Lifetime` enables the creation of dependency trees. When a parent `LifetimeDefinition` is terminated, all child `Lifetimes` and their associated resources are automatically released.

     ## Determinism:
     All resources (such as files, network connections, or event subscriptions) are released predictably and in the correct order.

     # PathBuddy: Type-Safe Path Management
     PathBuddy is a lightweight library designed to replace fragile string-based path manipulation with strongly-typed `AbsolutePath` and `RelativePath` objects. It integrates with a `Lifetime` system to handle temporary file cleanup automatically.

     ## Purpose
     The primary goal is to eliminate "path-string soup" and manual resource cleanup. By distinguishing between absolute and relative paths at the type level, PathBuddy prevents common bugs (like combining two absolute paths).

     ## Intuitive Path Combining
     Uses the / operator for clean, readable path joining (e.g., baseDir / "logs" / "app.log"), replacing cumbersome Path.Combine calls.

     # Fixes
     `LeanList` inherits IReadonlyList
