Original Readme

note

Immutype

Immutype is .NET code generator creating extension methods for records, structures, and classes marked by the attribute [Immutype.Target] to efficiently operate with instances of these types like with immutable ones.

For instance, for the type Foo for the constructor parameter values of type IEnumerable<int> following extension methods are generated:

Foo WithValues(this Foo it, params int[] values) - to replace values by the new ones using a method with variable number of arguments
Foo WithValues(this Foo it, IEnumerable<int> values) - to replace values by the new ones
Foo AddValues(this Foo it, params int[] values) - to add values using a method with variable number of arguments
Foo AddValues(this Foo it, IEnumerable<int> values) - to add values
Foo RemoveValues(this Foo it, params int[] values) - to remove values using a method with variable number of arguments
Foo RemoveValues(this Foo it, IEnumerable<int> values) - to remove values
Foo ClearValues(this Foo it) - to clear all values

For the type Foo for the constructor parameter value of other types, like int, with default value 99 following extension methods are generated:

Foo WithValue(this Foo it, int value) - to replace a value by the new one
Foo WithDefaultValue(this Foo it) - to replace a value by the default value 99

The extensions methods above are generating automatically for each public or internal type, like Foo marked by the attribute [Immutype.Target] in the static class named as FooExtensions. This generated class FooExtensions is static, has the same accessibility level and the same namespace like a target class Foo. Each generated static extension method has two attributes:

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining | MethodImplOptions.AggressiveOptimization)] - to improve performance
[Pure] - to indicate that this method is pure, that is, it does not make any visible state changes

Immutype supports nullable reference and value types and the following list of enumerable types:

Arrays
IEnumerable<T>
List<T>
IList<T>
IReadOnlyCollection<T>
IReadOnlyList<T>
ICollection<T>
HashSet<T>
ISet<T>
Queue<T>
Stack<T>
IReadOnlyCollection<T>
IReadOnlyList<T>
IReadOnlySet<T>
ImmutableList<T>
IImmutableList<T>
ImmutableArray<T>
ImmutableQueue<T>
IImmutableQueue<T>
ImmutableStack<T>
IImmutableStack<T>

Immutype supports IIncrementalGenerator as well as ISourceGenerator so it works quite effective.

Usage Scenarios

Basics

Sample scenario

[Immutype.Target]
internal record Person(
    string Name,
    bool HasPassport = true,
    int Age = 0,
    ImmutableArray<Person> Friends = default);

public class SampleScenario
{
    public void Run()
    {
        var john = new Person("John", false, 15)
            .AddFriends(
                new Person("David").WithAge(16),
                new Person("James").WithAge(17)
                    .WithFriends(new Person("Tyler").WithAge(16)));
            
        john.Friends.Length.ShouldBe(2);

        john = john.WithAge(16).WithDefaultHasPassport();
        john.Age.ShouldBe(16);
        john.HasPassport.ShouldBeTrue();

        john = john.AddFriends(
            new Person("Daniel").WithAge(17),
            new Person("Sophia").WithAge(18));
        
        john.Friends.Length.ShouldBe(4);
            
        john = john.RemoveFriends(new Person("David").WithAge(16));

        john.Friends.Length.ShouldBe(3);
    }
}

            .WithAge(15)
            .AddFriends(new Person("David").WithAge(16))
            .AddFriends(
                new Person("James"),
                new Person("Daniel").WithAge(17));
        
        john.Friends.Length.ShouldBe(3);
    }
}

Applying defaults

[Immutype.Target]
internal readonly record struct Person(string Name = "John", int Age = 17);

public class ApplyingDefaults
{
    public void Run()
    {
        var john = new Person("David", 15)
            .WithDefaultAge()
            .WithDefaultName();
        
        john.Name.ShouldBe("John");
        john.Age.ShouldBe(17);
    }
}

Clearing

[Immutype.Target]
internal readonly record struct Person(
    string Name,
    int Age = 0,
    params Person[] Friends);

public class Clearing
{
    public void Run()
    {
        var john = new Person("John",15, new Person("David").WithAge(16))
            .AddFriends(new Person("James"));

        john = john.ClearFriends();
        
        john.Friends.Length.ShouldBe(0);
    }
}

Immutable collection

[Immutype.Target]

    public readonly IImmutableList<Person> Friends;

    public Person(
        string name,
        int age = 0,
        IImmutableList<Person>? friends = default)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
        Friends = friends ?? ImmutableList<Person>.Empty;

        john = john.RemoveFriends(new Person("James"));
        
        john.Friends.Length.ShouldBe(1);
    }
}

Generic types

It is possible to use generic types including any generic constraints.

[Immutype.Target]
internal record Person<TAge>(string Name, TAge Age = default, IEnumerable<Person<TAge>>? Friends = default) 
    where TAge : struct;

public class GenericTypes
{ 
    public void Run()

        var john = new Person<int>("John")
            .WithAge(15)
            .WithFriends(new Person<int>("David").WithAge(16))
            .AddFriends(
                new Person<int>("James"),
                new Person<int>("Daniel").WithAge(17));
        
        john.Friends?.Count().ShouldBe(3);
    }
}

Nullable collection

[Immutype.Target]
internal record Person(
    string Name,
    int? Age = default,
    ICollection<Person>? Friends = default);

            .AddFriends(
                new Person("David").WithAge(16),
                new Person("James").WithAge(17)
                    .WithFriends(new Person("Tyler").WithAge(16)));
        
        john.Friends?.Count.ShouldBe(2);
    }
}

Set

[Immutype.Target]
internal record Person(
    string Name,
    int Age = 0,
    ISet<Person>? Friends = default);

public class Set
{
    public void Run()
    {
        var john = new Person("John",15)
            .AddFriends(
                new Person("David").WithAge(16),
                new Person("David").WithAge(16),
                new Person("James").WithAge(17)
                    .WithFriends(new Person("Tyler").WithAge(16)));

Record with constructor

[Immutype.Target]
internal record Person
{
    public Person(
        string name,
        int? age = default,
        ICollection<Person>? friends = default)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
        Friends = friends;
    }

    public string Name { get; }

    public int? Age { get; }

    public ICollection<Person>? Friends { get; }

    public void Deconstruct(
        out string name,
        out int? age,
        out ICollection<Person>? friends)
    {
        name = Name;
        age = Age;
        friends = Friends;
    }
}

public class RecordWithConstructor
{
    public void Run()
    {
        var john = new Person("John",15)
            .WithFriends(
                new Person("David").WithAge(16),
                new Person("James").WithAge(17)
                    .WithFriends(new Person("Tyler").WithAge(16)));
        
        john.Friends?.Count.ShouldBe(2);
    }
}

Explicit constructor choice

[Immutype.Target]
internal readonly struct Person
{
    public readonly string Name;
    public readonly int Age;
    public readonly IImmutableList<Person> Friends;

    // You can explicitly select a constructor by marking it with the [Immutype.Target] attribute
    [Immutype.Target]
    public Person(
        string name,
        int age = 0,
        IImmutableList<Person>? friends = default)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
        Friends = friends ?? ImmutableList<Person>.Empty;
    }
    
    public Person(
        string name,
        int age,
        IImmutableList<Person>? friends,
        int someArg = 99)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
        Friends = friends ?? ImmutableList<Person>.Empty;
    }
};

public class ExplicitConstructorChoice
{
    public void Run()
    {
        var john = new Person("John",15)
            .WithFriends(
                new Person("David").WithAge(16),
                new Person("James").WithAge(17))
            .AddFriends(
                new Person("David").WithAge(22));
        
        john.Friends.Count.ShouldBe(3);
    }
}
