TedToolkit.Refly

A lightweight .NET library that wraps value types (structs) in heap-allocated classes, allowing you to hold mutable references to structs in contexts where ref struct cannot be used — such as storing in collections, fields, or across async boundaries.

Installation

dotnet add package TedToolkit.Refly

Usage

Wrapping a struct with Ref<T>

using TedToolkit.Refly;

var myStruct = new MyStruct { X = 10, Y = 20 };

// Wrap the struct in a Ref<T>
var wrapped = new Ref<MyStruct>(myStruct);

// Access the struct by reference
ref MyStruct value = ref wrapped.Value;
value.X = 42;

Console.WriteLine(wrapped.Value.X); // 42

Using extension methods

using TedToolkit.Refly;

var wrapped = new MyStruct { X = 10 }.ToRef();

wrapped.Value.X = 42;

Wrapping a disposable struct with DisposableRef<T>

using TedToolkit.Refly;

using var wrapped = new MyDisposableStruct().ToDisposableRef();

wrapped.Value.DoWork();
// Dispose() is called automatically on the wrapped struct

API Reference

Ref<TStruct> where TStruct : struct

Member Description
Ref(scoped in TStruct value) Creates a new wrapper around the given struct value.
ref TStruct Value { get; } Returns a mutable reference to the wrapped struct.
string? ToString() Returns the string representation of the wrapped struct.

DisposableRef<TStruct> where TStruct : struct, IDisposable

Implements IDisposable. Disposes the wrapped struct when disposed.

Member Description
DisposableRef(scoped in TStruct value) Creates a new wrapper around the given disposable struct value.
ref TStruct Value { get; } Returns a mutable reference to the wrapped struct.
void Dispose() Disposes the wrapped struct.
string? ToString() Returns the string representation of the wrapped struct.

RefExtensions

Method Description
Ref<TStruct> ToRef<TStruct>(this TStruct) Extension method to wrap any struct in a Ref<T>.
DisposableRef<TStruct> ToDisposableRef<TStruct>(this TStruct) Extension method to wrap any disposable struct in a DisposableRef<T>.
