Some random C# extension methods I've found useful. Published as Ardalis.Extensions on Nuget.

Conventions

• Extension methods are grouped into folders based on similar purpose.
• Folder nesting should match class namespaces.
  • Ardalis.Extensions.Parsing
  • Ardalis.Extensions.Encoding.Base64
• One extension method class per folder.
• Extension methods classes should have an Extensions suffix.
• Classes should be made partial.
• One extension method per file.
• Overloads should be placed in the same file.
• File names should be the contained extension method's name.
• Tests should be provided for each extension method and overload.
• Test classes should have a Tests suffix.

Roadmap

For now as I gather different useful extensions there is a single Ardalis.Extensions package available on NuGet. Once there are more than a few, I will most likely break up the extensions into separate individual NuGet packages (for example: Ardalis.StringExtensions? Ardalis.Extensions.Strings?) and then the original Ardalis.Extensions would become a meta-package that would pull in all of the separate smaller packages.
