Features

Cryptography Utilities (CryptoUtils)

Provides helper methods for random number generation, hashing, and encoding.

using Common.Utilities;

// Generate a random numeric string of a specific length
string randomNum = CryptoUtils.GetRandomNumber(6); // e.g., "123456"

// Compute SHA-512 hash
string hash = CryptoUtils.ComputeSha512Hash("password123");

// Base64 Encoding/Decoding
string base64 = CryptoUtils.ToBase64("Hello World");
string plain = CryptoUtils.FromBase64(base64);

General Utilities (Utils)

Template Substitution

Replace placeholders in a string with values from a dictionary. Placeholders should be in the format ##Key##.

using Common.Utilities;

var template = "Hello ##Name##, welcome to ##City##!";
var args = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
 { "Name", "John" },
 { "City", "New York" }
};

string result = Utils.SubstituteTemplate(template, args);
// Output: "Hello John, welcome to New York!"

HTTP Extensions (HttpContextExtensions)

Get Public IP

Retrieves the client's public IP address from HttpContext, checking various headers (Cloudflare, X-Forwarded-For) and handling local loopback addresses.

using Meyn.Utilities.Extensions;

// Inside a Controller or Middleware
string ipAddress = HttpContext.GetPublicIP();
