Now I want to let the user make his own template. For this, I have enriched the attribute AutoActionsAttribute with a
public string CustomTemplateFileName { get; set; }
The code was pretty easy, just reading from GeneratorExecutionContext . AdditionalFiles instead of reading from the template in the dll
switch (templateId)
{
case TemplateIndicator.None:
context.ReportDiagnostic(DoDiagnostic(DiagnosticSeverity.Info, $"class {myController.Name} has no template "));
continue;
case TemplateIndicator.CustomTemplateFile:
var file = context.AdditionalFiles.FirstOrDefault(it => it.Path.EndsWith(templateCustom));
if (file == null)
{
context.ReportDiagnostic(DoDiagnostic(DiagnosticSeverity.Error, $"cannot find {templateCustom} for {myController.Name} . Did you put in AdditionalFiles in csproj ?"));
continue;
}
post = file.GetText().ToString();
break;
default:
using (var stream = executing.GetManifestResourceStream($"SkinnyControllersGenerator.templates.{templateId}.txt"))
{
using var reader = new StreamReader(stream);
post = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
break;
}
There are 2 small catches
1 see the EndsWith ? The GeneratorExecutionContext . AdditionalFiles gives you the full path
2. the additional files should be registered in the .csproj
<ItemGroup>
<AdditionalFiles Include=”Controllers\CustomTemplate1.txt” />
</ItemGroup>
Now the user can define his own template for the controller like this
[AutoActions(template = TemplateIndicator.CustomTemplateFile, FieldsName = new[] { "*" } ,CustomTemplateFileName = "Controllers\\CustomTemplate1.txt")]
[Route("api/[controller]/[action]")]
[ApiController]
public partial class CustomTemplateController : ControllerBase
{
private readonly RepositoryWF repository;
public CustomTemplateController ()
{
//do via DI
repository = new RepositoryWF();
}
}
And this is all ! ( ok. some documentation should be involved)
