A basic template for writing a C# source generator

sourcegeneratortemplate's Issues

[Suggestion] Refactor to make it distributable as a dotnet template on nuget

Great little project, but I had to spend some time with some Regex-ing in Visual Studio Code to get this to a "template" stage, (my project name and namespaces etc.).

It would be cool to make this a proper template that is distributed through nuget so its command-line installable

I am working on some templates and I might just do some copypasting and send a PR in your direction if you are interested? (No promises, this would be a side-project to my side-project that's sprung out of my not-work-project #scopecreep 😆 )

Included in reference list

Hi,

I've included your repository in my personal C# Source Generators list to help gather these kind of projects in one place and hopefully under single umbrella, thus I propose to add the csharp-sourcegenerator topic to this repository to help with visibility.

I hope you're okay with this. If you happen to know other generator projects, I'll be happy to enlist those in my list as well.

Thanks!

Internal NuGet dependency

Can you please update the code to show how do if the generator is dependent on a NuGet package. I think it is a common scenario.

I have try to use you template to write a generator that is generating code based on a json file using System.Text.Json, but I cannot make it to work.
And how do I add the json file to the tests that you have in the template?

IncrementalGenerator is not working correctly.

Hi Thanks for this simple tutorial.

The moment I add a new type to Program.cs, the IncrementalGenerator stopped working. The other generator is working fine.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Types in this assembly:");
        foreach (Type t in typeof(Program).Assembly.GetTypes())
        {
            Console.WriteLine(t.FullName);
        }
    }
}

public class HereWeGo {  }

If I then comment out that HereWeGo class, restart visual studio, then things restore back.
