Fluent Builder Design Pattern in C#

This repository demonstrates the Fluent Builder Design Pattern in C#, showcasing how it differs from the traditional builder approach for creating complex objects. By using this pattern, developers can write cleaner, more readable, and more maintainable code for object construction.

🚀 What is the Fluent Builder Pattern?

The Fluent Builder pattern is an advanced implementation of the Builder Design Pattern. It leverages method chaining to create objects step by step, allowing for a more readable and intuitive API. This approach is especially useful for constructing objects with numerous properties or configurations.

🆚 Fluent Builder vs. Traditional Builder

Feature	Traditional Builder	Fluent Builder
Readability	Step-by-step, more verbose	Chainable, concise, intuitive
Ease of Use	Requires intermediate objects	Streamlined with method chaining
Flexibility	Moderate customization	Highly customizable with clean syntax

📂 Repository Structure

The repository contains:

• Examples of the traditional builder pattern: Demonstrating the step-by-step approach.

🛠 Code Example Here’s a quick comparison:

Without Builder :

var test = new Test
    {
        Id = Guid.NewGuid(),
        TestName = createTestRequest.TestName,
        Description = createTestRequest.Description,
        StartDate = createTestRequest.StartDate,
        EndDate = createTestRequest.EndDate,
        IsActive = createTestRequest.IsActive,
        Tags = createTestRequest.Tags,
        Difficulty = createTestRequest.Difficulty,
        MaxParticipants = createTestRequest.MaxParticipants,
        Sections = createTestRequest.Sections.Select(s => new TestSection
        {
            Title = s.Title,
            TimeLimit = s.TimeLimit,
            QuestionCount = s.QuestionCount
        }).ToList()
    };

With Builder :

var test = new TestBuilder()
        .WithBasicInfo(
            createTestRequest.TestName,
            createTestRequest.Description,
            createTestRequest.StartDate,
            createTestRequest.EndDate)
        .WithIsActive(createTestRequest.IsActive)
        .WithTags(createTestRequest.Tags)
        .WithDifficulty(createTestRequest.Difficulty)
        .WithMaxParticipants(createTestRequest.MaxParticipants)
        .WithSections(createTestRequest.Sections)
        .Build();

🌟 Benefits of the Fluent Builder Pattern Improved Readability: Code is easier to understand with method chaining. Clean API: Reduces clutter and complexity in object creation. Extensibility: Easily extendable for future requirements. 🏗 About the Author This repository was created by MrEshboboyev, showcasing modern design patterns and best practices in software development.
