Ensure.That

Ensure.That is a simple guard clause argument validation lib, that helps you with validation of your arguments.

NuGet(dll)

NuGet

Ensure.That is distributed via NuGet and since v5.0.0 it's being built using DotNetCore and targes the frameworks:

.NetStandard1.1
.Net4.5+

install-package Ensure.That

Samples (two different APIs)

Samples below just list one validation method, but the API contains validation methods for e.g.:

Strings
Numerics
Collections (arrays, lists, collections, dictionaries)
Booleans
Guids

Using static simple methods

This flavour was added in the v5.0.0 release and this is my prefered way, because it has less overhead (read more below).

EnsureArg.IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace(myString);
EnsureArg.IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace(myString, nameof(myArg));

Using extension methods

This is the initial way of doing validation, but this IS NOT my prefered way. Why? Well because it will create a new instance of Param<T> wrapping the value being passed, so that the context-aware extension methods can target correct type.

Ensure.That(myString).IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace();
Ensure.That(myString, nameof(myArg)).IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace();

Ensure
    .That(myString, nameof(myString))
    .WithExtraMessageOf(p => "Some more details")
    .IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace();

Turn On/Off - default is On

Could be used with different profiles. Like Debug and CI is On while Release is Off.

#if RELEASE
    Ensure.Off()
#endif
