### Overview

tdiscover simplifies type discovery overhead when searching through .Net assemblies with a bunch of helpful methods to speed up your development.

### Prerequisities

[![My Skills](https://skillicons.dev/icons?i=dotnet)](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0)

`tdiscover` runs on the stable release of .Net 8 and requires the SDK installed.

    https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

### Install the package

Iinstall `TDiscover` package.

    dotnet add package TDiscover

    

### Examples

Search for a derived type by its root.

```csharp

using System.Reflection;

using TDiscover;

public record AggregateRoot;

public record OrderAggregate : AggregateRoot;

var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

var type = Td.FindByAsse(assembly);

// or typeof(AggregateRoot).FindByAsse(assembly);

```

Use `FindByCallingAsse()` to start from calling assembly all the way back to matching assembly, `FindByCallingAsse()` offers significant performance gains.

```csharp

typeof(AggregateRoot).FindByCallingAsse(Assembly.GetCallingAssembly());

```

Search for a type through `AppDomain`, smart tricks and filters are applied to enhance the search.

```csharp

public record DomainEvent;

public record OrderPlaced : DomainEvent;

Td.FindByType();

```

To further enhance the above search, use `FindByTypeName` to specify the type and name as well.

```csharp

public record DomainEvent;

public record OrderPlaced : DomainEvent;

public record OrderConfirmed : DomainEvent;

Td.FindByTypeName("OrderPlaced");

// or typeof(DomainEvent).FindByTypeName("OrderPlaced");

```

Search for a type when all you have is the type name.

```csharp

Td.FindByTypeName("OrderPlaced");

```
