Extensions

FriendlyName

Gets friendly (human readable) name for the type.

Usage

// Without GetFriendlyName typeof(List<ValueTuple<int?, string>?>).Name.Should().Be("List`1"); typeof(List<ValueTuple<int?, string>?>).FullName.Should().StartWith("System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.Nullable`1[[System.ValueTuple`2[[System.Nullable`1[[System.Int32, System.Private.CoreLib"); // With GetFriendlyName typeof(List<(int Key, string Value)>).GetFriendlyName().Should().Be("List<ValueTuple<int, string>>");

Notes:

• For for standard and primitive types uses aliases: string, object, bool, byte, char, decimal, double, short, int, long, sbyte, float, ushort, uint, ulong, void. Example: Int32 -> int.
• You can replace standard aliases with typeAliases param
• For generic types uses angle brackets: List'1 -> List<int>
• For array types uses square brackets: Int32[] -> int[]
• For Nullable value types adds ? at the end
• Uses recursion. Example: List<Tuple<int, string>>
• Uses cache: every name builds only once. You can use uncached BuildFriendlyName.
• ThreadSafe: true
