Nice... I first noticed partials showing up in code generation tools many years ago. The tool was telling us, "code up something to fill this partial gap". I thought that was very nice and cool at the same time.
Yes partials are a good coding construct for sure! Also, Extension Methods are just awesome. Too bad many C# shops don't use them more.
It's probably because they are difficult to test. There are solutions, but they are a little gross I'll admit. Regardless, they result in such a clean API surface compared to having to pass a bunch of things in as parameters.

Thanks for the article.
That's true. Thank you for reading. 😌
Extension methods are very widely used. Check out IdentityServer and IdentityModel.
I've worked at two companies in last 5 years, neither allowed extension methods.
I was astonished at their arrogance.

They are not any harder to test than anything else.
