Fast.Activator 2.1.1

FastActivator

FastActivator is a C# library that provides a faster alternative to the System.Activator class for creating instances of classes.

Purpose

The purpose of FastActivator is to replace the usage of System.Activator with a more efficient implementation, resulting in improved performance when creating instances of classes.

Speed Comparisons

In many instances it's about 2x to 10x faster depending on the method used.

Usage

To use FastActivator, follow these steps:

1. Add a reference to the FastActivator library in your project.

   dotnet add package Fast.Activator
   

2. Import the required namespaces:

   using Fast.Activator;
   

3. To create an instance of a class using FastActivator, use one of the following methods:

   • CreateInstance<TClass>(params object[] args): Creates an instance of the specified class TClass with the provided arguments, if any.

     var instance = FastActivator.CreateInstance<MyClass>(arg1, arg2);
     

   • CreateInstance<TClass>(): Creates an instance of the specified class TClass without any arguments.

     var instance = FastActivator.CreateInstance<MyClass>();
     

   • CreateInstance(Type type, params object[] args): Creates an instance of the specified Type with the provided arguments, if any.

     var instance = FastActivator.CreateInstance(typeof(MyClass), arg1, arg2);
     

   • CreateInstance(Type type): Creates an instance of the specified Type without any arguments.

     var instance = FastActivator.CreateInstance(typeof(MyClass));
     

   Note: If the object cannot be created, the methods will return null.
