Introduction

I will share same libraries and packages to make your .NET project easier, and explain a little about their functionality.Note: You can copy copy the library links from github and paste them into your Notions.

NBuilder
Is a library that allows you to rapidly create test data, automatically. Some examples below.

NBuilder Github
Nuget: Install-Package NBuilder -Version 6.1.0

I wrote about this library in my last articleTools o improve your unit test with .NET. I have a Github repository about Unit Test and I used this library for test ([Unit Test]https://github.com/JessicaNathany/unit-test) the code ist portuguese but I will write in english.

Faker.NET

This library is a little diferent the NBuilder, because if you want something whic looks like actual names, address, email, thelephone numbers, etc you can use Faker.NET.

Faker.Net Github
Nuget: Install-Package Faker.Net -Version 1.5.148

Bogus

Bogus is a simple and sane fake data generator for .NET languages like C#, F# and VB.NET. Bogus is fundamentally a C# port of faker.js and inspired by FluentValidation's syntax sugar. Created by Brian Chavez.

Bogus Github
Nuget: Install-Package Bogus -Version 33.1.1

The example bellow is from repository Brian Chavez

Ocelot

Ocelot is a .NET API Gateway. This project is aimed at people using .NET running a micro services / service oriented architecture that need a unified point of entry into their system. However it will work with anything that speaks HTTP and run on any platform that ASP.NET Core supports.

Ocelot Github
Nuget: Install-Package Ocelot -Version 17.0.0

The example below is taken from the website Microsoft Documentation API Gateway with Ocelot.

Polly

Polly is a .NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library that allows developers to express policies such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Timeout, Bulkhead Isolation, and Fallback in a fluent and thread-safe manner.

Polly Github
Nuget: Install-Package Polly -Version 7.2.2

The example below is taken from repository Polly Github.

CacheManager

CacheManager is an open source caching abstraction layer for .NET written in C#. It supports various cache providers and implements many advanced features.

The main goal of the CacheManager package is to make developer's life easier to handle even very complex caching scenarios..

CacheManager Github
Nuget: Install-Package CacheManager.Core -Version 2.0.0-beta-1629

AutoMapper

AutoMapper is a simple little library built to solve a deceptively complex problem - getting rid of code that mapped one object to another.

Automapper Github
Nuget: Install-Package AutoMapper -Version 10.1.1

The example below is taken from repository AutoMapper Github.

FluentValidation

A small validation library for .NET that uses a fluent interface and lambda expressions for building validation rules.

FluentValidation Github
Nuget: Install-Package FluentValidation -Version 10.3.3

The example below is taken from repository FluentValidation Github.

Swagger

Swagger tooling for APIs built with ASP.NET Core. Generate beautiful API documentation, including a UI to explore and test operations, directly from your routes, controllers and models.

Swagger Github
Nuget: Install-Package Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Swagger -Version 6.2.2
