AnyOf 0.5.0.1

AnyOf

Use the AnyOf<First, TSecond, ...> type to handle multiple defined types as input parameters for methods.

This project uses code generation to generate up to 10 AnyOf-types:

• AnyOf<TFirst, TSecond>
• AnyOf<TFirst, TSecond, TThird>
• AnyOf<TFirst, TSecond, TThird, TFourth>
• ...

Usage

using System;
using AnyOfTypes;

namespace ConsoleAppConsumer
{
 internal class Program
 {
 private static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 Console.WriteLine(ReturnSomething().CurrentValue);

 X(42);
 X("test");
 }

 // This method returns an string, int or bool in a random way.
 private static AnyOf<string, int, bool> ReturnSomething()
 {
 return new Random().Next(3) switch
 {
 1 => "test",
 2 => 42,
 _ => true,
 };
 }

 // This method accepts only an int and a string.
 private static void X(AnyOf<int, string> value)
 {
 Console.WriteLine("ToString " + value.ToString());
 Console.WriteLine("CurrentValue " + value.CurrentValue);
 Console.WriteLine("IsUndefined " + value.IsUndefined);
 Console.WriteLine("IsFirst " + value.IsFirst);
 Console.WriteLine("IsSecond " + value.IsSecond);

 switch (value.CurrentType)
 {
 case AnyOfType.First:
 Console.WriteLine("AnyOfType = First with value " + value.First);
 break;

 case AnyOfType.Second:
 Console.WriteLine("AnyOfType = Second with value " + value.Second);
 break;

 default:
 Console.WriteLine("???");
 break;
 }
 }
 }
}
