.NET Standard library of helper methods to help validate arguments.
The library is dependent on the package ByteDev.Exceptions and uses the custom exceptions from that package where appropriate. If use of exceptions from the package is not desired I would recommend a project such as GuardClauses instead.
ByteDev.ArgValidation has been written as a .NET Standard 2.0 library, so you can consume it from a .NET Core or .NET Framework 4.6.1 (or greater) application.
ByteDev.ArgValidation is hosted as a package on nuget.org. To install from the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio run:
Install-Package ByteDev.ArgValidation
Further details can be found on the nuget page.
Releases follow semantic versioning.
Full details of the release notes can be viewed on GitHub.
All argument validation can be performed through the ArgMustBe class. This class has a number of static methods:
- Between
- GreaterThan
- GreaterThanOrEqual
- In
- LessThan
- LessThanOrEqual
- NotDefault
- NotEmpty
- NotEquals
- NotIn
- NotNull
- NotNullDependency
- NotNullOrEmpty
- NotNullOrWhiteSpace
Example:
public Customer GetCustomer(int id)
{
ArgMustBe.GreaterThan(id, 0, nameof(id));
// ...
}
