Settings

Defaults copy public and non-public properties and fields, and will use non-public constructors when needed. Override what you need via CloneSettings.

Passing settings

var clone = source.CloneX(new CloneSettings {
    IncludeNonPublicFields = false,
    IncludeNonPublicProperties = false,
    UseICloneableClone = true,
    Logger = logger   // Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
});

The same object works with CloneXTo():

source.CloneXTo(target, settings);

Visibility

Setting	Default	Meaning
`IncludePublicProperties`	`true`	Copy public properties
`IncludeNonPublicProperties`	`true`	Copy non-public properties
`IncludePublicFields`	`true`	Copy public fields
`IncludeNonPublicFields`	`true`	Copy non-public fields
`IncludePublicConstructors`	`true`	Allow public constructors when creating instances
`IncludeNonPublicConstructors`	`true`	Allow non-public constructors when needed

ICloneable

ICloneable is ignored unless you opt in:

UseICloneableClone = true

When enabled, CloneBox may call ICloneable.Clone() for types that implement it.

Skip predicates

See Skip members for DoNotCloneProperty, DoNotCloneField, and DoNotCloneClass.

Logging

Set Logger to an ILogger from Microsoft.Extensions.Logging if you want diagnostics while cloning.
