A [``singledispatch()``](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html#functools.singledispatch) for arguments that are classes annotated as specific types.

Inspired by https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/100623.

# A Simple Example
While `functools.singledispatch` examines the class of the first user argument,
`class_singledispatch` uses the first argument as the class itself and performs
the same task with it as `functools.singledispatch`.

```python
from class_singledispatch import class_singledispatch

class T:
pass

class OtherT:
pass

@class_singledispatch
def on_class(cls: type[T], /) -> None:
print("T!")

@on_class.register
def on_other_class(cls: type[OtherT], /) -> None:
print("OtherT!")

# Useful for <3.10 without eval_type_backport -- pass the class to the decorator
# not to use the annotation from the function for the targeted class resolution
@on_class.register(SomeOtherT)
def on_some_other_class(cls: type[SomeOtherT], /) -> None:
print("SomeOtherT!")

on_class(T) # T!
on_class(OtherT) # OtherT!
on_class(SomeOtherT) # SomeOtherT!
```

# Installation
You might simply install it with pip:

```shell
pip install class-singledispatch
```
> [!Note]
> `class-singledispatch` supports modern type hinting.

> To use [PEP 585](https://peps.python.org/pep-0585/)
> or [PEP 604](https://peps.python.org/pep-0604/) annotations on Python <3.10, install
> `class-singledispatch[modern-type-hints]`.

If you use [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/), then you might want to run:

```shell
poetry add class-singledispatch
```

> [!Note]
> If you use Windows, it is highly recommended to complete the installation in the way presented below through [WSL2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).
1. Fork the [class_singledispatch repository](https://github.com/bswck/class_singledispatch) on GitHub.

1. [Install Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation).

Poetry is an amazing tool for managing dependencies & virtual environments, building packages and publishing them.
You might use [pipx](https://github.com/pypa/pipx#readme) to install it globally (recommended):

```shell
pipx install poetry
```

If you encounter any problems, refer to [the official documentation](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation) for the most up-to-date installation instructions.

Be sure to have Python 3.8 installed—if you use [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#readme), simply run:

```shell
pyenv install 3.8
```

1. Clone your fork locally and install dependencies.

```shell
git clone https://github.com/your-username/class_singledispatch path/to/class_singledispatch
cd path/to/class_singledispatch
poetry env use $(cat .python-version)
poetry install
```

Next up, simply activate the virtual environment and install pre-commit hooks:

```shell
poetry shell
pre-commit install
```
