Fabricale Extensions

nuget GitHub release NuGet license

A library providing extension methods.

This library is still under development and more updates are being released.

Check the Change Log for more information about the deployed changes.

String Extensions

The library provides the following extensions to the string class:

Method Purpose
Find() Returns a list with all the locations where the text is found in a string
MultiReplace() Replaces multiple instances of a string in the text
ContainsOnly() Checks whether a string contains only certain characters
ContainsOnlyNumbers() Checks whether a string only contains numbers
ContainsOnlyAsciiLetters() Checks whether a string only contains Ascii letters
ContainsOnlyAsciiLettersAndNumbers() Checks whether a string only contains Ascii letters and numbers
ConvertToAsciiBooleanArray() Generates a boolean array with the ASCII characters inside the given string

These methods are optimized for performance. The ASCII specific methods use an array of booleans to make the search fast. The Non-ASCII specific methods use a HashSet, which adds the cost of the hashing to the search, but still keep it fast.

The functionality is tested with Unicode characters.

The functions Find() and MultiReplace() are going to be optimized for better performance in a future release. After running benchmarks, the performance is not much better than just using the traditional String.Replace() method. When this optimization is deployed, you will not need to execute changes to your code to benefit from it.

When using the ContainsOnly() method, there is a constructor available that accepts a HashSet<char>. If the same characters are used frequently, consider reusing it instead of creating the HashSet on each call.

If you have a specific list of ASCII characters that you want to check, consider using the extension method ConvertToAsciiBolleanArray() to create an array with the acceptable characters, and cache it.

DateTime Extensions

The library provides the following extensions to the string class:

Method Purpose
AddBusinesDays() Adds or Subtracts Business Days to a Date
ToJulian() Converts a DateTime into a double representing the Julian Date

The AddBusinessDays() function will add or subtract days, ignoring weekends. Holidays are not taken into consideration. A future release should include that functionality.

CharComparer

This class offers the option to compare characters.

The following comparers are available:

Class Purpose
CaseSensitiveCharComparer This class compare two characters and ensure the casing is taken into consideration
CaseInsensitiveCharComparer This class compares two characters, ignoring the casing
