inpsNuGet 1.1.11

inpsNuGet

inpsNuGet is a NuGet package for .NET that simplifies validation through a custom Check class, a custom Convert class for data conversion, and a dedicated class that simplifies file IO through SimpleFileHandler.

Features

The package operates under the inpsNuGet namespace and contains several distinct modules to help keep your codebase clean and readable:

Validation (Check)

A robust validation class to simplify standard string, format, and date checks.

• Email: Highly customizable email domain validation (allows whitelisting specific domain names, extensions, or full domains).
• Phone Numbers: Validates Philippine mobile numbers (09, +639, 639).
• Strings: Check for spaces, symbols, pure numerical strings, or presence of numbers.
• Time/Dates: Easily calculate the remaining time between two DateTime objects (Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds).

Cryptography (Cipher)

A class to implement classic and recreational cipher techniques for string encryption.

• Transposition Cipher
• Giovanni Cipher
• Keyword Cipher
• Caesar Cipher

Data Conversion (Convert)

Effortless type casting, text manipulation, and data encoding.

• Base64, Hex, and Binary encoding/decoding.
• String reversal and Byte-array conversions (UTF8).
• Quick string parsing to Int, Double, Long, and Float.

File & Resource Handling (SimpleFileHandler)

Static methods to rapidly read, write, and extract files.

• Rapid Read(), Write(), and Append() for text files.
• Embedded Resources: Use ProjectToLocation() to easily extract and copy files marked as 'Embedded Resource' from your executing assembly to a physical directory.

Sorting Algorithms (SortAlgorithms)

A massive suite of sorting algorithms implemented in C# as quick plug-and-play functions for integer and double arrays.

• Standard: Quick Sort, Merge Sort, Heap Sort, Selection Sort, Insertion Sort, Bubble Sort.
• Advanced/Niche: Tim Sort, Intro Sort, Cocktail Shaker Sort, Shell Sort, Pigeonhole Sort, Bead Sort, Patience Sorting, and even Bogo Sort!

Installation

Install the package via the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package inpsNuGet

Or via the NuGet Package Manager Console:

Install-Package inpsNuGet

Quick Usage Examples

To use the package, simply include the namespace at the top of your file:

using inpsNuGet;

1. Validating Phone Numbers & Dates (Check)

// Validate Philippine Phone Numbers
bool isValidPhone = Check.IsAValidPhilippineMobileNumber("+639123456789");
Console.WriteLine(isValidPhone); // True

// Calculate time left
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
DateTime future = now.AddDays(5).AddHours(2);
Console.WriteLine($"Days left: {Check.HowManyDaysLeft(now, future)}"); // ~5.083

2. Custom Email Validation (Check.Email)

// Setup strict domain rules
Check.Email.AddValidDomainName("gmail");
Check.Email.AddValidDomainExtension("com");

bool isEmailValid = Check.Email.IsValid("user@gmail.com");
Console.WriteLine(isEmailValid); // True

3. File Handling & Resource Extraction (SimpleFileHandler)

// Write, Append, and Read text
SimpleFileHandler.Write("log.txt", "Process started.\n");
SimpleFileHandler.Append("log.txt", "Process finished.\n");
Console.WriteLine(SimpleFileHandler.Read("log.txt"));

// Extract an Embedded Resource to a physical location
Assembly myAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
SimpleFileHandler.ProjectToLocation(myAssembly, "MyConfig.json", @"C:\AppConfigs");

4. Text Encryption (Cipher)

string encrypted = Cipher.CaesarCipher("HELLO WORLD", shift: 3);
Console.WriteLine(encrypted); // KHOOR ZRUOG

5. String & Data Conversions (Convert)

// String Reversal
string reversed = Convert.Reverse("C# is awesome");

// Base64 Encoding
string encoded = Convert.ToBase64("Secret Message");
string decoded = Convert.FromBase64(encoded);

// Hex Conversions
string hexValue = Convert.ToHex("Hello");
Console.WriteLine(hexValue); // 48656C6C6F

6. Sorting Arrays (SortAlgorithms)

int[] array = { 5, 2, 9, 1, 5, 6 };

// Using QuickSort
int[] sortedArray = SortAlgorithms.QuickSort(array);

// Using more exotic sorts
int[] introSorted = SortAlgorithms.IntroSort(array);

Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", sortedArray)); // 1, 2, 5, 5, 6, 9
