About

The Metalama.Patterns.Immutability implements the concept of immutable type, i.e. types whose value cannot be changed after they have been created. Other packages, such as Metalama.Patterns.Observability, can then rely on this concept to achieve a better understanding of the code.

Key Features

  • You can mark types as immutable using the [Immutable] custom attribute or the ConfigreImmutability fabric extension warning.
  • Concept of shallow or deep immutability.
  • The [Immutable] aspect reports warnings if some fields or properties are not mutable.

Main Types

The primary types in this package are:

  • ImmutabilityKind represents the kind of immutability of a type, i.e. None, Shallow or Deep.
  • ImmutableAttribute is an aspect that marks a type as immutable and reports warnings if some fields or properties are mutable.
  • ImmutabilityExtensions.GetImmutability is an extension of INamedType to get the ImmutabilityKind of a given type.
  • ImmutabilityConfigurationExtensions.ConfigureImmutability is a fabric extension method to programmatically set the ImmutabilityKind of types.
  • IImmutabilityClassifier is an abstraction whose implementations can be passed to ImmutabilityConfigurationExtensions.ConfigureImmutability to dynamically return the ImmutabilityKind of a kind. It is useful when the ImmutabilityKind depends on type arguments.

Additional Documentation

  • Metalama.Patterns.Observability relies on Metalama.Patterns.Immutability to decide which method calls are supported in property getters.
