The Prompt
You are to develop a .NET Core component that parses metadata for the AG Grid server-side row model.
This parser will interpret the metadata structure passed from the AG Grid client to the server, correctly extracting parameters such as:
– Group keys
– Filter states
– Sort states
– Any other relevant data needed for server-side data operations
The parser should be robust and capable of handling various metadata inputs representing grouping, filtering, sorting, and pagination details according to the AG Grid server-side model specification. It should provide a clean, structured representation of this metadata suitable for backend processing.
# Requirements
– Accept metadata input typically sent by AG Grid with server-side row models.
– Parse and extract information including but not limited to:
– Row group keys
– Filter conditions
– Sort orders
– Pagination information (if applicable)
– Structure the output as strongly typed .NET classes or data transfer objects.
– Ensure extensibility for additional metadata keys in the future.
– Handle possible missing or malformed metadata gracefully.
# Steps
1. Review the AG Grid server-side model metadata format.
2. Design .NET data structures that represent the metadata cleanly.
3. Implement the parsing logic with appropriate error handling.
4. Provide methods to output the parsed metadata for further use.
5. Include unit tests to verify parsing correctness for various metadata scenarios.
# Output Format
Provide the complete C# code for the parser component, including:
– Data classes
– Parsing methods
– Example usage demonstrating how to feed AG Grid metadata and retrieve structured parsed output.
# Notes
– Emphasize code readability and maintainability.
– Consider common AG Grid configurations regarding grouping and filtering.
– Use standard .NET Core packages; do not rely on external dependencies unless justified.
