Source
YamlStringEnumConverter{T}.cs

Produces a converter that serializes the enumeration TEnum as a YAML string holding its member name, applying an optional naming policy and honoring StringEnumMemberNameAttribute on individual members.

public sealed class YamlStringEnumConverter<TEnum> : YamlConverterFactory where TEnum : struct, Enum

Type Parameters

TEnum

The enumeration type the produced converter handles.

Inheritance
YamlStringEnumConverter<TEnum>
Inherited Members
Extension Methods

Examples

[Converter(typeof(YamlStringEnumConverter<Status>))]
public enum Status
{
    Active,
    OnHold,
}

// Status.OnHold serializes as the YAML scalar OnHold.

Remarks

Unlike the non-generic YamlStringEnumConverter, this strongly typed factory can be referenced from a ConverterAttribute on a member, property, or the enumeration itself, because it exposes a public parameterless constructor and applies to a single enumeration type.

Constructors

YamlStringEnumConverter()

Initializes a new instance of the YamlStringEnumConverter<TEnum> class that applies no naming policy and accepts integers on read.

public YamlStringEnumConverter()

YamlStringEnumConverter(NamingPolicy?, bool)

Initializes a new instance of the YamlStringEnumConverter<TEnum> class with the specified naming policy and integer-handling behavior.

public YamlStringEnumConverter(NamingPolicy? namingPolicy, bool allowIntegerValues)

Parameters

namingPolicy NamingPolicy

The naming policy applied to member names, or null to use member names unchanged.

allowIntegerValues bool

Whether a YAML integer scalar is accepted as an enumeration value on read.

Methods

CanConvert(Type)

Determines whether the converter can convert the specified type.

public override bool CanConvert(Type typeToConvert)

CreateConverter(Type, YamlSerializerOptions)

Creates a converter for the specified type.

public override YamlConverter CreateConverter(Type typeToConvert, YamlSerializerOptions options)
