AdvancedLazy

AdvancedLazy<T> is a small helper for caching a value that is computed on-demand, with the extra ability to clear the cached value and recompute it later.

When To Use It

  • You want Lazy<T>-style value initialization, but you also need to invalidate the cached value (ClearValue()).
  • You want a simple "cache once" primitive without bringing in a full caching abstraction.

Basic Usage

using Garyon.Objects.Advanced;

var lazy = new AdvancedLazy<int>(() => ExpensiveCalculation());

// Triggers factory on first access:
var value1 = lazy.Value;

// Reuses cached value:
var value2 = lazy.Value;

lazy.ClearValue();

// Factory runs again after invalidation:
 var value3 = lazy.Value;

Async Values

AdvancedLazy<T> is intentionally synchronous: if your factory is synchronous, AdvancedLazy<T> is a good fit.

If the value must be created asynchronously, use AsyncLazy<T> instead.
