Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the
EmailMessage
struct has public fields, which allows external code to modify its state directly. This can lead to issues such as invalid data being set, inconsistent state, and potential security vulnerabilities. For example, email addresses might not be validated, and text inputs might not be sanitized, leading to injection attacks.Describe the solution you'd like
Refactor the
EmailMessage
struct to use private fields and provide a constructor and setter methods for field initialization and modification. This will ensure that:Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative solution could be to keep the fields public and enforce validation externally, but this approach is error-prone and less secure compared to encapsulating the fields within the struct itself.
Additional context
Encapsulation is a fundamental principle of object-oriented design that helps protect the integrity of an object’s data, hide implementation details, and provide a clear and controlled API. By refactoring the
EmailMessage
struct to use private fields and a constructor, we can enhance the robustness, security, and maintainability of the code.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
