RSCG – RossLean.StringificationGenerator

Generating constructor code as string

This is how you can use RossLean.StringificationGenerator .

The code that you start with is

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="RossLean.StringificationGenerator" Version="1.0.1">
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
    </PackageReference>
    <PackageReference Include="RossLean.StringificationGenerator.Core" Version="1.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>

	<PropertyGroup>
		<EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>
		<CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GX</CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>
	</PropertyGroup>
</Project>

The code that you will use is

using Code2String;
using RossLean.StringificationGenerator.Generated;
Person person = new Person("Andrei","Ignat");
string personString = ConstructionCodeGeneration.ForPerson(person);
Console.WriteLine(personString);

using RossLean.StringificationGenerator.Core;

namespace Code2String;
[GenerateConstructionCode]
public record Person(string firstName,string lastName)
{
    
}

The code that is generated is

using Code2String;
using RossLean.StringificationGenerator.Core;
using System.Text;

namespace RossLean.StringificationGenerator.Generated;

public partial class ConstructionCodeGeneration : BaseConstructionCodeGeneration
{
    public static string ForPerson(Person person)
    {
        return $$"""
            new Person({{StringLiteral(person.firstName)}},{{StringLiteral(person.lastName)}})
            """;
    }
    public static void AppendPerson(Person person,StringBuilder builder)
    {
        builder.Append($$"""
            new Person({{StringLiteral(person.firstName)}},{{StringLiteral(person.lastName)}})
            """);
    }
    public static string ForPersonTargetTyped(Person person)
    {
        return $$"""
            new({{StringLiteral(person.firstName)}},{{StringLiteral(person.lastName)}})
            """;
    }
    public static void AppendPersonTargetTyped(Person person,StringBuilder builder)
    {
        builder.Append($$"""
            new({{StringLiteral(person.firstName)}},{{StringLiteral(person.lastName)}})
            """);
    }
}
