ShadowKit

ShadowKit is a NuGet meta package that bundles a set of tools designed to support different development scenarios, especially in testing and utility contexts. It consists of several specialized sub-packages, each focusing on a specific area of functionality.

Packages

ShadowKit.IO

This package provides tools for working with the file system. It is particularly useful in test scenarios that require temporary file or directory structures.

Included tools:

  • TransientFileManager
    A utility for creating temporary files with predefined content. The files are automatically cleaned up after use.

  • TransientDirectoryManager
    A utility for managing temporary directories, useful for scenarios that require short-lived folder structures.

These tools are especially helpful in unit tests where temporary and isolated file system resources are needed.

ShadowKit.Text

This package provides tools for working with text.

Included tools:

  • DetectLineEnding
    Detects the type of line endings used in a given text (e.g., \n, \r\n, \r).

  • StringComparerBuilder
    Builds EqualityComparer<string> instances with extended comparison capabilities, especially useful for comparing multi-line strings. Features include:

    • Ignoring differences in line endings
    • Comparing multi-line text line by line using trimmed lines

These tools are particularly helpful in test scenarios where flexible and robust string comparison is required.

ShadowKit.Threading

This package provides tools for simulating a SynchronizationContext, which can be useful in unit tests that need to test asynchronous code in a controlled threading environment.
