Introduction
Welcome to Functional.DotNet, a framework designed to enhance the functional programming experience in C#. Inspired by functional programming principles, this toolset enables developers to write more efficient, readable, and maintainable C# code.
Why Choose Functional.DotNet?
- Ease of Use: Intuitive design, making functional programming in C# accessible for all levels.
- Enhanced Code Quality: Promotes writing predictable, less error-prone code.
- Seamless Integration: Integrates smoothly with existing C# projects.
Documentation
For a comprehensive guide on how to integrate and utilize Functional.DotNet in your C# projects, please refer to our official documentation.
What's New in Version 1.1.0
In version 1.1.0, we have introduced several new features to enhance your functional programming experience:
OneAmong
The OneAmong
type is a discriminated union that can hold a value of one among several possible types. It is commonly used in functional programming to represent a value that can take on different forms. Here's a sample of how to use it:
OneAmong<int, string> value = new OneAmong<int, string>(42);
value.Match(
Case<int>(x => Console.WriteLine($"It's an integer: {x}")),
Case<string>(s => Console.WriteLine($"It's a string: {s}"))
);
Agent
The Agent
type provides a simple way to manage mutable state in a functional and thread-safe manner. It encapsulates state and allows you to perform operations on it safely.
Identity
The Identity
type is a monad that wraps a value. It's a simple container for a single value and is used to bring functional programming concepts to C#.
Getting Started
Refer to our documentation for details on integrating and using this framework in your C# projects.
Learning Resources
For beginners, check out my book "Functional C#: Embracing Functional Programming in a C# World", a great resource for understanding C# functional programming.
Features and Code Samples
Using Try
// Example of using Try for exception-safe code
Try<Uri> CreateUri(string uri) => () => new Uri(uri);
var uriTry = CreateUri("http://github.com");
uriTry.Run().Match(
Success: uri => Assert.NotNull(uri),
Exception: ex => Fail()
);
Working with Option
// Example of using Option to handle optional values
Option<User> userOption = GetUserById(userId);
userOption.Match(
Some: user => Console.WriteLine("User found: " + user.Name),
None: () => Console.WriteLine("User not found"));
Understanding Monads
In Functional.DotNet, we delve into the concept of monads, such as Try and Option, to handle various computational contexts in a more functional way.
Contributing
Based on Enrico Buonanno's la-yumba/functional-csharp-code-2, Functional.DotNet extends these concepts to provide a comprehensive functional programming experience in C#.
