Creating a Builder

Lets say you have a class that looks something like:

public class Person
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

You would create a builder, set its properties, and construct the final object like this:

BuilderFactory.Create<Person>
    .With(p => p.FirstName, "John")
    .With(p => p.LastName, "Doe")
    .Build()

This only scratches the surface of what FluentBuilders can accomplish. If you have more complex objects or even graphs of objects check out our in depth usage guides here.
