Is it possible to reduce the number of constructors I am using in this code? Constructor overloading and forwarding with multiple classes

Question

I wrote this code earlier today. The purpose of the code is to implement ICommand such that it exclusively runs only one method at a time, and returns silently for others.

I wrote it for use with a multi-platform user interface so that multiple key presses aren't registered.

It has a ton of constructors, and I don't understand overloading of this sort very well. I am taking design patterns next semester and Object Oriented Programming the semester after that, so hopefully my code will be cleaner after that!

Is there a way for me to shorten the code (reduce the number of constructors needed)?

Answer 1

You can use optional parameters like so:

public AsyncCommand (Func<object, Task> execute, Func<object, bool> canExecute = null)
{
    this.execute = execute;
    this.canExecute = canExecute;
}

This will allow your to remove your AsyncCommand (Func<object, Task> execute) constructor.

You could also just have your Func<object, Task> overload and drop the Func<Task> overload and require clients to write the _ => stuff lambda. But that may or may not be acceptable depending on your requirements.
