Ploch.Common.Ardalis.Result

Extension methods that bridge Ardalis.Result result status values to HTTP status codes.

Overview

Ploch.Common.Ardalis.Result is a thin adapter library that adds HTTP concern awareness to the Ardalis.Result library's ResultStatus enumeration. It targets netstandard2.0 and has a single dependency: the Ardalis.Result NuGet package.

The library is intended for use in Web API projects where result objects returned from use-case or service layers need to be translated into HTTP responses. Rather than writing the ResultStatus → HTTP status code switch statement in each endpoint, this library centralises the mapping as a single extension method on ResultStatus.

Installation

dotnet add package Ploch.Common.Ardalis.Result

Key Types

Type	Description
`ResultStatusExtensions`	Static class providing the `ToHttpStatusCode(this ResultStatus)` extension method.

Usage Examples

Mapping result status in a minimal API endpoint

using Ardalis.Result;
using Ploch.Common.Ardalis.Result;

app.MapGet("/profiles/{id}", async (int id, IGetProfileUseCase useCase) =>
{
    var result = await useCase.ExecuteAsync(id);

    if (!result.IsSuccess)
    {
        return Results.StatusCode(result.Status.ToHttpStatusCode());
    }

    return Results.Ok(result.Value);
});

Mapping result status in a controller

using Ardalis.Result;
using Ploch.Common.Ardalis.Result;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;

[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class ProfilesController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpDelete("{id}")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Delete(int id, IDeleteProfileUseCase useCase)
    {
        var result = await useCase.ExecuteAsync(id);

        return result.IsSuccess
            ? NoContent()
            : StatusCode(result.Status.ToHttpStatusCode());
    }
}

Using the extension directly

using Ardalis.Result;
using Ploch.Common.Ardalis.Result;

int code = ResultStatus.NotFound.ToHttpStatusCode();   // 404
int ok   = ResultStatus.Ok.ToHttpStatusCode();         // 200
int err  = ResultStatus.Error.ToHttpStatusCode();      // 500

Status Code Mapping

`ResultStatus`	HTTP Status Code
`Ok`	200
`Created`	201
`NoContent`	204
`Invalid`	400
`Unauthorized`	401
`Forbidden`	403
`NotFound`	404
`Conflict`	409
`Unavailable`	503
`Error`	500
Any other value	500

Ploch.Common — Core library. Does not directly depend on Ploch.Common.Ardalis.Result, but projects using both libraries benefit from the Guard argument checking and collection utilities when implementing use cases that return Ardalis.Result results.
