Blindness is a framework for you to build your frameworks without seeing the details.

Overview

Blidness will control your dependency injection system, your state management, your execution flow, your component oriented structure and your event system to allows you to concentrate where it really matters.

How to install

dotnet new classlib # Create your library (can be a console or other option too)
dotnet add package Blindness # Install Blindness

Use Blindness.Core to use all framework resources...

App.Start<Example>();

// Create interfaces that will be autoimplementend
public interface Example : INode
{
    string Value { get; set; }

    void OnLoad()
    {
        // This value is only setted on first run
        Value = "Hello, Blindness!";

        // Modify and test Hot Reload
        // The data will be keeped in process
        When(() => Random.Shared.Next(10) == 0, () => Value += "!");
    }

    void OnRun()
    {
        Console.Clear();
        Console.WriteLine(Value);
        Thread.Sleep(100);
    }
}

Make complex applications with Bind expressions and components

Generate the following code:

//     Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if

Use Boxing easily with events using Blindness.Bind

using Blindness.Bind;

var myBox = new Box<int>();
myBox.Place(8);
myBox.OnChange += e =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("The value changed!");
    if (e.NewValue > e.OldValue)
        Console.WriteLine("The value incresead!");
};

var component = new MyComponent(myBox);
component.Run();
Console.WriteLine(myBox.Open());
// output:
// The value changed!
// The value incresead!
// The value changed!  
// 8

public class MyComponent(IPlaceable<int> reference)
{
    public void Run()
    {
        reference.Place(8);
        reference.Place(12);
        reference.Place(8);
    }
}

Use Binding to manage Box smartly

using Blindness;
using Blindness.Bind;
using static Blindness.Bind.Binding;

MyComponent a = new();
MyComponent b = new();

// b.List = [1, 2, 3]
b.List = [1, 2, 3];
// a.List is binded to b.List and recive the value
// from the dominant type (b) so a.List = b.List = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
Bind(() => a.List == b.List);
// b.List = [], but a.List and b.List are binded so a.List = []
b.List = [];
// a.List = [ 2 ] so b.List = [ 2 ]
a.List.Add(2);

show(a.List); // [ 2 ]
show(b.List); // [ 2 ]

void show(List<int> list)
    => Verbose.Info($"[ {string.Join(", ", list)} ]");

public class MyComponent
{   
    // Create a Bindable Property
    [Binding]
    public List<int> List
    {
        get => Get(this).Open<List<int>>(nameof(List));
        set => Get(this).Place(nameof(List), value);
    }
}

Bind non-Binding properties

using Blindness.Bind;
using static Blindness.Bind.Binding;

MyComponent a = new();

int value = 8;
Bind(() => a.Value == value); // Bind a.Value to value, so a.Value equals to 8 now
value += 2; // a.Value = value = 10
a.Value += 2; // a.Value = value = 12
Verbose.Info(value); // 12
Verbose.Info(a.Value); // 12

public class MyComponent
{   
    [Binding]
    public int Value
    {
        get => Get(this).Open<int>(nameof(Value));
        set => Get(this).Place(nameof(Value), value);
    }
}

Bind many types of expressions

using Blindness;
using Blindness.Bind;
using static Blindness.Bind.Binding;

MyComponent index = new();
MyComponent oddIndex = new();
MyComponent oddValue = new();

List<int> list = [ 9, 6, 5, 11, 4, 3 ];

Bind(() => oddIndex.Value == 2 * index.Value + 1);
Bind(() => oddValue.Value == list[oddIndex.Value]);

int lastOddIndex = 
    list.Count % 2 == 0 ? 
    list.Count - 1 : list.Count;
oddIndex.Value = lastOddIndex; // (Reverse calcule) index.Value = (oddIndex.Value - 1) / 2 = 2
int lastIndex = index.Value;

int sum = 0;
for (index.Value = 0; index.Value <= lastIndex; index.Value++)
    sum += oddValue.Value;
Verbose.Success(sum);

public class MyComponent
{
    [Binding]
    public int Value
    {
        get => Get(this).Open<int>(nameof(Value));
        set => Get(this).Place(nameof(Value), value);
    }
}

Customize the binding pipeline

using System;
using System.Linq.Expressions;

using Blindness.Bind;
using Blindness.Bind.Boxes;
using Blindness.Bind.Analyzers;

Binding.SetBehaviour(
    new DefaultLeftBindAnalyzer(), // left analyzer
    new MyBindAnalyzer(), // right analyzer
    new MyBindBehavior() // behaviour
)

public class MyConstantBindChainLink : BindChainLink
{
    protected override BindingResult TryHandle(BindingArgs args)
    {
        var body = args.Body.RemoveTypeCast();
        if (body is not ConstantExpression constant)
            return BindingResult.Unsuccesfull;
        
        if (constant.value is null)
            throw new Exception();

        return BindingResult.Successful(
            Box.CreateConstant(constant.Value)
        );

Update your code with Blindness.Reload

using System.Threading;

using Blindness;
using Blindness.Reload;

var reloader = Reloader.GetDefault();
dynamic component = new MyComponent();

reloader.OnReload += assembly =>
{
    var newMyComponent = assembly.GetType("MyComponent");
    var constructor = newMyComponent.GetConstructor([]);
    var obj = constructor.Invoke([]);
    component = obj;
};

while (true)
{
    Console.Clear();
    component.Print();
    reloader.TryReload();
    Thread.Sleep(200);
}

public interface BaseComponent { void Print(); }
public class MyComponent : BaseComponent {
    public void Print()
        => Verbose.Success("Message...");
}

The app display 'Message...' on screen continuously. If the code is modified likes:

public class MyComponent : BaseComponent {
    public void Print()
        => Verbose.Success("Message!!");
}

Some time the code start to display 'Message!!' on screen without reestart app.
