Class Decorator<T>

Namespace

Cuemon

Assembly

Provides a generic way to support hiding of non-common extension methods by enclosing/wrapping an object within the IDecorator<T> interface.

public class Decorator<T> : IDecorator<T>

Type Parameters

T

The type of the inner wrapped object.

Inheritance

object

Decorator<T>

Implements

IDecorator<T>

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use Decorator<T> to wrap a value and access it through the decorator pattern.

using System;
using Cuemon;

namespace MyApp.Wrapping;

public class DecoratorOfTExample
{
    public void Demonstrate()
    {
        var numbers = new[] { 10, 20, 30 };
        var decorator = Decorator.Enclose(numbers);

        // Access the wrapped inner value through the Inner property
        int[] inner = decorator.Inner;
        Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", inner)); // "10, 20, 30"

        // ArgumentName is set automatically when using EncloseToExpose
        var withArgName = Decorator.EncloseToExpose(numbers);
        Console.WriteLine(withArgName.ArgumentName); // "numbers"

        // Syntactic sugar for type-level decoration
        var syntactic = Decorator.Syntactic<string>();
        Console.WriteLine(syntactic.Inner); // null (default)

}
}
