IsFalse 2.0.0

IsFalse

📌 Features

• Provides IsFalse() as an intuitive way to check for false values.
• Includes a custom analyzer to suggest using IsFalse() where appropriate.

📦 Installation

Install via NuGet:

dotnet add package IsFalse

📖 Usage

using IsFalse;

bool condition = false;

if (condition.IsFalse())
{
    Console.WriteLine("The condition is false!");
}

🔍 Analyzers

This package includes an analyzer (IsFalse.Analyzers) that suggests using someTruth.IsFalse() instead of !someTruth, along with a code fix provider for Intellisense.

🕵️ Why?

Sometimes guard clauses or other branching logic can be difficult to read. They often require us to keep the inverse of the initial condition if (something) in mental context when working inside the else block:

if (something)
{
    DoSomething();
}
else
{
    DoSomethingElse();
}

Using two separate conditions and clauses avoids the above problem, but the two conditions are difficult to distinguish visually:

if (something)
{
    DoSomething();
}

if (!something)
{
    DoSomethingElse();
}

Using the IsFalse() method reads more fluently, and allows for granular conditions that are east to keep in mental context.

if (something)
{
    DoSomething();
}

if (something.IsFalse())
{
    DoSomethingElse();
}
