Declaration

public LinksGroup(Link<TLinkAddress> link, IList<LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>>? groups)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Link<TLinkAddress>	link	The primary link of this group.
IList<LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>>	groups	The nested groups within this group.

Methods

AppendToLinksList(List<Link<TLinkAddress>>)

Appends this links group to the specified list as flattened links.

Declaration

public void AppendToLinksList(List<Link<TLinkAddress>> list)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
List<Link<TLinkAddress>>	list	The list to append the links to.

AppendToLinksList(List<Link<TLinkAddress>>, Link<TLinkAddress>, LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>)

Recursively appends a links group to a list, combining dependencies with nested groups to create a flattened structure.

Declaration

public static void AppendToLinksList(List<Link<TLinkAddress>> list, Link<TLinkAddress> dependency, LinksGroup<TLinkAddress> group)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
List<Link<TLinkAddress>>	list	The list to append the links to.

LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>	group	The links group to process.

Equals(LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>)

Indicates whether the current links group is equal to another links group.

Declaration

public bool Equals(LinksGroup<TLinkAddress> other)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>	other	The links group to compare with this links group.

Returns

Type	Description

Equals(object?)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to this links group.

Declaration

public override bool Equals(object? obj)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object	obj	The object to compare with this links group.

Returns

Type	Description

GetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for this links group.

Declaration

public override int GetHashCode()

Returns

Type	Description
int	A hash code for this links group.

Overrides

ToLinksList()

Converts this links group to a flat list of links, preserving the hierarchical relationships.

Declaration

public List<Link<TLinkAddress>> ToLinksList()

Returns

Type	Description
List<Link<TLinkAddress>>	A list of links representing the flattened structure of this group.

Operators

operator ==(LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>, LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>	value	The links group to convert.

Returns

Type	Description
List<Link<TLinkAddress>>

operator !=(LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>, LinksGroup<TLinkAddress>)
