SOLID Principles

Introduction

  • SRP Single Responsibility Principle
  • OCP Open Closed Principle
  • LSP Liskov Substitution Principle
  • ISP Interface Segregation Principle
  • DIP Dependency Inversion Principle

SRP Single Responsibility Principle

Each software module should have one and only one reason to change

Cohesion

This refers to what a class or module can do. When a class has low cohesion, it means that it does a great variety of actions and in that, the class is unfocused on what it should do. High cohesion means that the class is focused on what it should be doing as it contains only methods relating to the intention of the class.

Coupling

This refers to how related or dependent two classes or modules are towards each other. For low coupled classes, a major change in one class has a low impact on the other. High coupling in a system makes it difficult to maintain since a change in one class will have impact on other classes as well. This could result in one change flowing through a system as an oil slick, sometimes even requiring a full overhaul to fully implement.

C# 8.0 and .Net Core 3.0

Intro

Here is the history of C#

  • 2.0 included generics
  • 3.0 Added Linq with Lambda and anonymous types
  • 4.0 Added Dynamics
  • 5.0 Added Async and Await
  • 6.0 Added Null propagating operator (targer?.IsActive ?? false;
  • 7.0 Expressions, Span and Tuples

C# 8.0 brings

  • Nullable Reference Types
  • Pattern Matching
  • Indices and Ranges
  • Built-in Json Support
  • Windows Desktop Support
  • Build and Deploy Improvements
  • Other Language Improvements
  • Other .NET Core Platform Improvements

Nullable Reference Types

This allows you to specify a possibility of null. e.g.

class
{
    public string? Title {get; set;}
    public List<Comment> Title {get;} = new List<Comment>();
}

Bad code is highlighted a compile time with CS8618 Non-nullable property and via intellisence.

You and enable and restore this feature on a file basis using #nullable enable and #nullable restore

Pattern Matching

Deconstructors

Hardcoded unlike javascript

claas Test
{
    public PropA {get; set;}
    public PropB {get; set;}
    public PropC {get; set;}
    public PropD {get; set;}

    Test(string a, string b, string c, string d)
    {
      PropA = a;
      PropB = b;
      PropC = c;
      PropD = d;
    }

    void Deconstructor(
       out string a,
       out string b,
       out string c,
       out string d)
    {
       a = PropA;
       b = PropB
       c = PropC;
       d = PropD;
    } 
}

Positional Pattern

public static bool TestHasCValue5(Test inTest)
{
    return inTest is Test(_,_,"5",_);
}

Property Pattern

public class Employee
{
    public string FirstName {get; set;}
    public string LastName {get; set;}
    public string Region {get; set;}
    public Employee ReportsTo {get; set;}
}

public static bool IsUsBasedWithUkManager(object o)
{
    return o is Employee e && 
        e is { Region: "US", ReportsTo: {Region:" UK" }};
}

Switch Expression

Allows switching on types
var result = shape switch
{
    Rectangle r => "{r.Length}",
    Circle {Radius: 1} c => "Small Circle", // We can use LHS too!
    Circle c => "{c.Radius}",
    Triangle t => "{t.Side1}",
    _ => "Default"
}

Tuple Pattern

public statis bool MakesBlue(Color c1, Color c2)
{
    return (c1,c2) is (Color.Red, Color.Green) ||
           (c2,c1) is (Color.Red, Color.Green);
}

Indices and Ranges

Index reference as location in the sequence

var numbers = new[] {0,1,2,3,4,5};
var number = numbers[1]; // number is 1
var numberFromRHS = numbers[^2]; // number is 4

Note ^1 is the last element

C# now supports the range expressions with dots.

var numbers = Enumerable.Range(1,10).ToArray();
var copy = numbers[0..^0];
var lastThreeItems = numbers[3^..];

Built-in Json Support

Adds support similar to NewtownSoft but does lack features. Just some key reminders in the code below. Google examples

// Reading as Tokens
    var myBytes = File.ReadAllBytes("my.json");
    var jsonSpan = myBytes.AsSpan();
    var json = new Utf8JsonReader(jsonSpan);
    while(json.Read()) // goes to next token
    {
       GetData(json);
    } 

// Parse
    using var stream = File.OpenRead("my.json");
    using var document = JsonDocument.Parse(stream);
    var root = document.RootElement;

    foreach(var prop in root.EnumerateObject())
    {
        if(prop.Value.ValueKind == JsonValueKind.Object) 
        ...
    }

// Writing
    var outputOptions = new JsonWriteOptions {
       Indented = true;
    };

    var buffer = new ArrayBufferWriter<byte>();
    using var json = new Utf8JsonWriter(buffer, outputOptions);

    json.WriteStartObject();
    json.WritePropertyName("NAME");
    json.WriteStringValue"Value");
...
    json.WriteEndObject();
    json.Flush();

// Deserialize
    var serialOptions = new JsonSerializerOptions {
       PropertyNamingPolicy = JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase;
    };

    var myTestObject = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<TestObject>(text,serialOptions);  

// Serialize
    JsonSerializer.Serialize(myTestObject, serialOptions);

Windows Desktop Support

  • Only on Windows
  • Supports WPF in Core
  • Supports WinForms in Core

Build and Deploy Improvements

  • Builds a platform application .exe and deps copied
  • Can publish single file (not default)
  • Trimmed only publishes used parts (not default)
  • ReadyToRun Image, as Native and .Net Code (Difficult o understand what this is)
  <TarghetFramework>3.0<TarghetFramework>
  <PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
  <PublishTrimmed>true</PublishTrimmed>
  <PublishReadyToRun>true</PublishReadyToRun>

Other Language Improvements

Supports Default Implementation on Interface

public interface IStarTrekWidget
{
   string Captain {get; }

   string WriteLog() // Not allowed prior to 8.0
   {
       Console.WriteLine("Captain's Log Stardate");
   }
}

Using Fixed

Finally the language supports this

using var leakingResource = new LeakyResource();

Asyncronous Streams

When consuming an asynchronous stream, you need to specify the await keyword followed by the foreach keyword. You can call the method in the above example from the Main method as shown in the code snippet below.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace Test
{
    class Program
    {
        const int DELAY = 1000;
        const int MIN = 1;
        const int MAX = 10;
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            await foreach (int number in GetData())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(number);
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        static async IAsyncEnumerable<int> GetData()
        {
            for (int i = MIN; i < MAX; i++)
            {
                yield return i;
                await Task.Delay(DELAY);  
            }
        }
    }
}

Local Functions

You can add static to local function to disallow access to global, local values

public  void Run()
{
    var state = "42";

    static string NotAllowed()
    {
        return state + "99";
    }
}

Disposable ref Structs

You can now use the using keyword to destroy.

public unsafe ref struct UnmanagedHandle
{
    private int* handle;

    public UnmanagedHandle(int* handle) = this.handle = handle;

    public int* GetHandle() {
       return handle;
    }

    public void Dispose() {
        ResourceManager.Free(this.handle);
    }
}
