Bidirectional Map

.NET Core

Exactly what it sounds like. This library offers a single class BiMap that let's you define a two-way one-to-one map between values the same way you would define a one-way map with a dictionary.

Example:

using BidirectionalMap;

BiMap<int, string> map = new BiMap<int, string>(){
	{1, "Circle"},
	{2, "Triangle"},
	{3, "Square"},
};

var mappedString = map.Forward[1]; //"Circle"
var mappedInt = map.Reverse["Circle"]; // 1

It isn't limited to value types

BiMap<int, Action> map = new BiMap<int, string>(){
	{1, () => /* do something*/},
};

var action = map.Forward[1]; 

Why?

Well, table-driven value mapping is a very powerfull technique that makes conversions more readable, easier to update, and easier to load from non-code sources.
Some common scenarios for this kind of technique include

  • Mapping to some kind of storage (say, converting between enum and string)
  • Mapping display values to and from requests
  • Wrapping other code (adapter-style) to consume the api on your own terms
  • Choosing an action or configuration based on some kind of type value (this is usually just one-way though)
