Class DataPointCounter

Provides utility methods for counting data points by their source within complex object graphs. This class uses reflection to traverse object hierarchies and identify DataPoint<T> instances, aggregating counts by their associated SourceAttribute.

Syntax

public static class DataPointCounter

Remarks

This utility is primarily used for billing and auditing purposes to track the number of data points consumed from different data sources during operations. It handles circular references and complex nested structures including collections.

Methods

CountDataPointsBySource(object)

Counts all DataPoint<T> instances within an object graph, grouped by their source. Uses reflection to recursively traverse the object hierarchy, including nested objects and collections.

Declaration

public static List<(string Point, string Source)> CountDataPointsBySource(this object instance)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object	instance	The object instance to count data points within.

Returns

Type	Description
List<(string Point, string Source)>	A dictionary where keys are source names (from SourceAttribute) and values are the count of data points from that source.

Remarks

This method:

Traverses all public and non-public fields and properties
Handles circular references to prevent infinite loops
Processes collections and nested objects recursively
Only counts DataPoint instances that have a SourceAttribute
