Extension Methods

• Extension files should always begin with the type name and end with Extensions. Examples:
  • StringExtensions.cs
  • ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs
• Write for every type a separate extension file.
• Use the origin namespace of the type; use HotChocolate when extending an external type like Microsoft.Ectensions.DependencyInjection.IServiceCollection or HotChocolate.AspNetCore when extending a ASP .Net core specific type like Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.IApplicationBuilder. Example:

  using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
  
  namespace HotChocolate
  {
      public static class ServiceCollectionExtensions
      {
          public static IServiceCollection AddGraphQL(
              this IServiceCollection serviceCollection,
              ISchema schema)
          {
              // omitted for brevity
          }
      }
  }
