Common Extensions

This library contains a set of common C# extension methods designed to simplify daily coding tasks.
The main purpose is to provide convenient, reusable functionality for collections, dates, enums, and strings — reducing boilerplate and improving code readability.

⚙ Main Features

1️ StringExtensions

  • SplitCamelCase: Adds spaces to split concatenated words in a PascalCase or camelCase string.
    Example:
    "HelloWorld".SplitCamelCase() → "Hello World"

2️ EnumExtensions

  • GetDisplayName: Retrieves DisplayAttribute if defined; falls back to SplitCamelCase.
  • GetIntValue: Converts an enum to its underlying int.
  • GetDisplayNameAndNumber: Combines GetIntValue and GetDisplayName.
    Example:
public enum Color { [Display(Name = "Bright Red")] Red }
Color.Red.GetDisplayNameAndNumber() // "0 (Bright Red)"

3️ DateTimeExtensions

  • ToFormattedString: Formats DateTime or nullable DateTime into a specified pattern.
  • Supports ISO, 24-hour, 12-hour, Date-only, and Time-only formats.
dateTime.ToFormattedString(DateTimeExtensions.DateTimeFormatType.Iso8601);
Format Type Method Example
Iso8601 now.ToFormattedString(DateTimeExtensions.DateTimeFormatType.Iso8601) 2025-04-15T18:30:00
DateOnly now.ToFormattedString(DateTimeExtensions.DateTimeFormatType.DateOnly) 2025-04-15
DateTime24H now.ToFormattedString(DateTimeExtensions.DateTimeFormatType.DateTime24H) 2025-04-15 18:30
DateTime12H now.ToFormattedString(DateTimeExtensions.DateTimeFormatType.DateTime12H) 2025-04-15 06:30 PM
TimeOnly now.ToFormattedString(DateTimeExtensions.DateTimeFormatType.TimeOnly) 18:30

✅ Tip:

  • ToFormattedString gracefully handles nullable DateTime as well.
DateTime? nullableTime = now;
string formatted = nullableTime.ToFormattedString(DateTimeExtensions.DateTimeFormatType.DateTime24H);

4️ CollectionExtensions

  • AddRangeSafe: Adds multiple items while avoiding duplicates.
  • RemoveRangeSafe: Removes a range of items safely, ignoring non-existing ones.
  • SyncWithKeys: Synchronises a collection based on a set of keys — removing, adding, or retaining items.
existingItems.SyncWithKeys(newKeys, item => item.Id, key => new Item { Id = key });

🟣 Summary

This collection of extension methods aims to:

  • Reduce code redundancy.
  • Provide convenient and reusable functionality across projects.
  • Handle common scenarios gracefully (like duplicates, null checks, formatting, and validation).

✅ Suitable for:

  • ASP.NET Core backends
  • Console applications
  • Utilities and libraries that need lightweight helper methods
