Could you tell me what's going on with this project? Why should I Care?
To answer this question, first understand what the Extension method is.
Extension methods enable you to "add" methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. Extension methods are static methods, but they're called as if they were instance methods on the extended type. Copied from Microsoft docs
In simpler words, this thing allows you to extend the functionality of the existing type. We allow string type containing many methods like ToUpper() or ToLower() to convert the string in upper and lower case respectively, but if I want to create a method which converts the string into title case (making the first letter of each word upper case)? You can go with a traditional approach like creating a method then do this:
newText = TitleCase(oldtext);
now this code looks out of place if we compare it with newText = oldText.ToUpper() or newText = oldText.ToLower(), so to deal with things we can use the extensions method which will make the code look like this:
newText = oldText.ToTitleCase()
So How will I create it?
Well in the first place, you do not have to that's why this repo exists, all you need put this repo inside your unity project and just call the method like this something.DoSomethingMoreAwesome()
Here are the few Examples of Extension Method that are provided by this repo
audioSource.PlayFadeIn(fadeDuration:2,EaseType.EaseIn); //Plays the audio with 2 sec fade in with ease in effect.
explosionPoint.Add2DExplosiveForce(5, 10, explosionLayer); //Add the 2D Explosion Force of 10 unit force with the radius of 5 units which will impact the object in explosionLayer at explosionPoint(Vector2)
someRandomList.GetRandomItem(2); //get 2 random items from the someRandomList
How do I dive in and get started?
Just Download the package from Release and import it in unity and you are done!
