Object Activation

LazyActivator and MockActivator can be used to create instances of an object. LazyActivator should be used for concrete types, and MockActivator should be used for abstract/interface types.

Both provide the ability to create an object without supplying all constructor arguments, absent arguments will be resolved. Protected/private constructors can also be targeted by these classes.

Object Proxy

ObjectProxy can be used to interact (set/get) private members of a given instance, and can be used to invoke protected/private methods. Dot separated member access is supported to access members of members recursively. E.g. ObjectProxy.For(person)["Name"."FirstName"] Static classes can be setup with ObjectProxy.ForStatic to interact with static classes.

Examples

Given the following class:

public class Person
{
  private string Name { set; get; }

  private Person(ILogger<Person> logger, string name)
  {
    Name = name;
  }
}

Creating an instance of Person can be achieved as shown below.

var person = LazyActivator.CreateLazy<Person>("Fred");
// or
var person = LazyActivator.CreateLazy<Person>();

And members can be managed as shown below.

// Get.
var name = ObjectProxy.For(person)["Name"];

// Set.
ObjectProxy.Create(person)["Name"] = "Bob";

Setup Extension Methods

Several extension methods have been provided which enable functional Moq creation (returning Mock{T} to enable chaining) and to setup private/protected members. Given an example interface:

public interface IPerson
{
    string SetName(string name);
    int GetAge();
}

The following can be used to set up an IPerson interface.

var person = new Mock<IPerson>()
    .Setup(x => x.SetName, (string name) => "")
    .Setup(x => x.GetAge, () => 25);

Please note that this does not provide any filters on the arguments for methods (such as It.Is<T>(Func<T, bool>) filtering).

Developer Notes

It is not the intention for this library to provide the ability to test private/protected members, rather to assist the creation of objects prior to being tested correctly.
