PTrampert.Optionals

Library supporting "Optional" objects, distinct from nullable. Possibly useful for PATCH routes.

Overview

PTrampert.Optionals is a C# library designed to facilitate the handling of flat PATCH objects in .NET web applications. With this library, you can easily distinguish between properties that are omitted from a PATCH request and those explicitly set to null or a value.

This is especially useful when you want to update only specific properties of an object, leaving others unchanged. For example, if you send a PATCH request like:

{
  "name": "New Name"
}

and your object contains additional properties besides name, PTrampert.Optionals makes it easy to ensure that only name is updated, and all other properties remain untouched.

Features

  • Supports "Optional" types for PATCH operations.
  • Distinguishes between omitted properties and properties set to null.
  • Designed for use in .NET web APIs.
  • Streamlines partial updates to complex objects.

Getting Started

The library is intended for scenarios where you need precise control over which properties are updated during a PATCH request. If a property is omitted from the PATCH body, it will not be changed in the target object.

Code examples and installation instructions will be added soon.
