ktsu.StrongStrings
A transparent wrapper around strings that provides strong typing, compile-time feedback, and runtime validation.
Introduction
ktsu.StrongStrings is a .NET library that provides a way to create strongly-typed wrappers around standard strings. It gives you the benefits of strong typing, compile-time feedback, and runtime validation while maintaining full compatibility with string operations. The intention is to provide usage context and validation to naked strings in a similar way that Enums do for integers.
Features
- Strong Typing: Create distinct types for different string usages (e.g., EmailAddress, UserId, Url)
- Compile-Time Safety: Prevent mixing of semantically different strings
- Runtime Validation: Apply custom validation rules that throw exceptions for invalid data
- Transparent Usage: Works with existing string APIs through implicit conversion
- String Operation Support: Full access to standard string methods and properties
- Immutability: Implemented as records for value semantics and immutability
Installation
Package Manager Console
Install-Package ktsu.StrongStrings
.NET CLI
dotnet add package ktsu.StrongStrings
Package Reference

Usage Examples
Basic Example
using ktsu.StrongStrings;
// Create a strong type by deriving a record class from StrongStringAbstract<TDerived>:
public record class MyStrongString : StrongStringAbstract<MyStrongString> { }
public class MyDemoClass
{
public MyStrongString Stronk { get; set; } = new();
public static void Demo(MyStrongString inStrongString, string inSystemString, out MyStrongString outStrongString, out string outSystemString)
{
// You can implicitly cast down to a System.String
outSystemString = inStrongString;
// You must explicitly cast up to a StrongString
outStrongString = (MyStrongString)inSystemString;
//You can provide a StrongString to a method that expects a System.String
Path.Combine(inStrongString, inSystemString);
// You can use the .WeakString property or the .ToString() method to get the value of the underlying System.String
outSystemString = inStrongString.WeakString;
outSystemString = inStrongString.ToString();
// You can not implicitly cast up to a StrongString
// outStrongString = inSystemString; // This will not compile
// You can not cast from one StrongString to another
// OtherStrongString other = inStrongString; // This will not compile
// OtherStrongString other = (OtherStrongString)inStrongString; // This will not compile either
}
}
Validation Example
public abstract class StartsWithHttp : IValidator
{
public static bool IsValid(AnyStrongString? strongString)
{
ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(strongString);
return strongString.StartsWith("http", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
}
}
public abstract class EndsWithDotCom : IValidator
{
public static bool IsValid(AnyStrongString? strongString)
{
ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(strongString);
return strongString.EndsWith(".com", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
}
}
public record class MyValidatedString : StrongStringAbstract<MyValidatedString, StartsWithHttp, EndsWithDotCom> { }
// This will work:
MyValidatedString valid = (MyValidatedString)"http://example.com";
// This will throw a FormatException:
MyValidatedString invalid = (MyValidatedString)"ftp://example.net";
Advanced Usage
Creating Domain-Specific String Types
using ktsu.StrongStrings;
// Define validators
public abstract class ValidEmail : IValidator
{
private static readonly Regex EmailRegex = new Regex(@"^[^@\s]+@[^@\s]+\.[^@\s]+$");
public static bool IsValid(AnyStrongString? strongString)
{
ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(strongString);
return EmailRegex.IsMatch(strongString.ToString());
}
}
// Create domain-specific types
public record class EmailAddress : StrongStringAbstract<EmailAddress, ValidEmail> { }
public record class Username : StrongStringAbstract<Username> { }
public record class UserId : StrongStringAbstract<UserId> { }
// Use in a service
public class UserService
{
public User GetUser(UserId id) { /* ... */ }
public void SendEmail(EmailAddress to, string subject) { /* ... */ }
// Type safety ensures you can't pass a Username where UserId is expected
}
Modifying Strong Strings
// Strong strings are immutable, but you can create new ones with modifications
public record class Path : StrongStringAbstract<Path> { }
Path basePath = (Path)"/home/user";
// Add prefixes or suffixes
Path documentsPath = basePath.WithSuffix("/documents"); // "/home/user/documents"
Path etcPath = (Path)"/etc".WithSuffix("/config"); // "/etc/config"
// Combine with standard string methods
Path combined = (Path)(basePath + "/downloads"); // "/home/user/downloads"
