Object and Enum Formatter

Typically the object's ToString() value is used as a basis for further formatting. For Enums and [Flags] there are some exceptions.

Formats

Object.To<FormatterType>()

Enum.Option.To<FormatterType>()

String Formatters

O ⇒ Object E ⇒ Enum

Formatter Type Types Description Example Result
Upper O/E Converts all to upper case. 'Upper' 'UPPER'
Lower O/E Converts all to lower case. 'Lower' 'lower'
CamelCase O/E Converts to first char to lower. 'CamelCase' 'camelCase'
KebabCase O/E Inserts a '-' before every capital char. 'KebabCase' 'Kebab-Case'
SnakeCase O/E Inserts a '_' before every capital char. 'SnakeCase' 'Snake_Case'
SpaceCase O/E Inserts a ' ' before every capital char. 'SpaceCase' 'Space Case'
Humanized O/E Separates words and lowers every capital. 'HumanizedCase' 'Humanized case'
NumericValue E Decimal value as string Option1 = 1 '1'
HexValue E Hexadecimal value as string Option1 = 1 '0x1'
HexValue2 E Hexadecimal value as string Option1 = 1 '0x01'
HexValue4 E Hexadecimal value as string Option1 = 1 '0x0001'
HexValue8 E Hexadecimal value as string Option1 = 1 '0x00000001'

Code Attribute Enum-Formatters

When the specific Attribute is not found on the Enum-option, it's default ToString() value is returned.

Formatter Type Attribute Description Example Result
Description System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute Returns the Description of the attribute. [Description("This description")] 'This Description'
Display System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.DisplayAttribute Returns either the Description, Name, ShortName or GroupName of the attribute* [Display(Name="MyName")] 'MyName'
DefaultValue System.ComponentModel.DefaultValueAttribute Retrieves the value from the attribute and uses its string representation. [DefaultValue(42)] '42'
NameOf<T> T Uses Reflection on the Attribute T and retrieves the Name property. [SomeAttribute(Name="MyName")] 'MyName'
DescriptionOf<T> T Uses Reflection on the Attribute T and retrieves the Description property. [SomeAttribute(Description="This description")] 'This description'

*) To-Be-Determined how to format the string if multiple fields are filled.

Note that NameOf<T> and DescriptionOf<T> use reflection and will perform less good.

Extensibility

You can write your own formatters by implementing the (static) interface IFormatter and / or IEnumFormatter.

Here is an example of the CamelCase implementation. It implements both interfaces (IEnumFormatter is implemented explicitly) and performs the logic on the ToString() value.

public sealed class CamelCase : IFormatter, IEnumFormatter
{
    private CamelCase() { }

    public static string Format<T>(T value)
    {
        var str = value?.ToString() ?? String.Empty;
        return new([Char.ToLowerInvariant(str[0]), .. str[1..]]);
    }

    static string IEnumFormatter.Format<T>(T value)
        => Format<T>(value);
}
