Basic example for CompareNETObjects NuGet package

readme.md

Basic code to try out CompareNETObjects NuGet package for comparing objects.

Note 1

The following line excludes Human.Id and Country.Id from the compare operation

compare.Config.MembersToIgnore.Add("*Id");

Note 2

System.Text.Json is used to serialize bad results.

Country.cs

public class Country
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string CountryName { get; set; }
}

Human.cs

public class Human
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public DateOnly BirthDay { get; set; }
    public Country Country { get; set; }
}

Run.cs

List<Country> countries = [ new() { Id = 1, CountryName = "Mexico" }, new() { Id = 2, CountryName = "mexico" } ];

Human human1 = new() { Id = 1, FirstName = "Karen", LastName = "Payne", BirthDay = new DateOnly(1967,11,1), Country = countries[0] };
Human human2 = new() { Id = 2, FirstName = "Karen", LastName = "Payne", BirthDay = new DateOnly(1968, 11, 1), Country = countries[1] };

CompareLogic compare = new();
compare.Config.MembersToIgnore.Add("*Id");

ComparisonResult result = compare.Compare(human1, human2);
if (result.AreEqual)
{
    Debug.WriteLine("Equal");
}
else
{
    var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(result.Differences, new JsonSerializerOptions { WriteIndented = true });
    Debug.WriteLine(json);
}
