Trellis.Primitives 3.0.0-alpha.532

Trellis.Primitives

Strongly typed value objects for .NET, with built-in primitives like EmailAddress and Money plus composite JSON conversion and tracing registration for primitive value objects.

Installation

dotnet add package Trellis.Primitives

The Required*<TSelf> and ScalarValueObject<TSelf, TUnderlying> base classes live in Trellis.Core. The source generator, generated primitive JSON converter, and primitive trace source are bundled inside the Trellis.Core package (transitively referenced by Trellis.Primitives) — no extra package is required.

Quick Example

using Trellis;
using Trellis.Primitives;

// TryCreate returns Result<T>; pattern-match before using the value.
var emailResult = EmailAddress.TryCreate("ada@example.com");

// Money.Create throws on invalid input; use TryCreate for user input.
var subtotal = Money.Create(12.34m, "USD");
var shipping = Money.Create(2.00m, "USD");

// Arithmetic on Money returns Result<Money> (currency-mismatch / overflow safe).
Result<Money> grandTotal = subtotal.Add(shipping);

// Define a custom value object — the source generator emits TryCreate, equality, JSON converters, etc.
// RequiredString rejects null/empty/whitespace and trims by default; RequiredGuid rejects Guid.Empty.
public sealed partial class CustomerEmail : RequiredString<CustomerEmail>;
public sealed partial class OrderId : RequiredGuid<OrderId>;

Key Features

• Ready-to-use value objects for common concepts such as email, URL, money, and percentages.
• Trellis.Core base classes like RequiredString<CustomerEmail> and RequiredGuid<OrderId> for custom domain types.
• Lenient-by-default generated validation (rejects null only); opt into sentinel rejection with [NotDefault] and string trimming with [Trim] when domain strictness is required.
• Validation and parsing rules that stay with the type instead of leaking into handlers and controllers.
• GeoCoordinate validates finite latitude/longitude and calculates approximate in-memory great-circle distances; GeoBounds builds conservative one- or two-box spherical radius prefilters.
• WeeklyPeriod and WeeklySchedule model recurring local-clock availability in an IANA time zone.

Geographic coordinates

using Trellis;
using Trellis.Primitives;

var seattle = GeoCoordinate.Create(47.6062, -122.3321);
var portland = GeoCoordinate.Create(45.5152, -122.6784);
double meters = seattle.DistanceMetersTo(portland);

Result<GeoBounds> nearby = GeoBounds.TryCreate(seattle, radiusMeters: 10_000);

Use TryCreate(latitude, longitude, fieldName) for untrusted input. It accumulates both component errors; latitude is -90..90 and longitude is -180..180, inclusive. JSON is { "latitude": number, "longitude": number }. Values are not rounded or normalized. Distance and bounds use a sphere of radius 6,371,008.8 meters, not an ellipsoidal model. GeoBounds.Boxes contains one ordinary rectangle, two non-wrapping rectangles at the antimeridian, or a full-longitude rectangle at a pole. Bounds are conservative: apply an exact distance check after using them as a broad prefilter. Trellis.EntityFrameworkCore provides selector-based translated bounds, distance, and radius expressions over numeric columns.

Weekly availability

var schedule = WeeklySchedule.Create("America/Los_Angeles",
[
    WeeklyPeriod.Create(DayOfWeek.Friday, new TimeOnly(22, 0), new TimeOnly(2, 0)),
    WeeklyPeriod.CreateAllDay(DayOfWeek.Sunday)
]);
bool available = schedule.IsActiveAt(new DateTimeOffset(2026, 9, 26, 8, 0, 0, TimeSpan.Zero));

Use TryCreate / TryCreateAllDay for untrusted input. Intervals include their start and exclude their end; an earlier end means the next day. Equal endpoints require the explicit all-day factory. Empty schedules are always closed. Overlaps are rejected, touching periods are retained, and input order is normalized without losing TimeOnly tick precision.

The host must supply the IANA time-zone data. Repeated DST clock times both match; skipped clock times never occur. Use Contains(day, time) for a local-clock query without conversion. JSON and persistence use application-owned DTOs and validated rehydration, not direct composite JSON conversion or EF owned-type materialization. Holidays and job scheduling are outside this primitive's scope.
