Overview

TemplatePropertyGenerator is a C# source generator that creates strongly-typed template properties from annotated classes. This allows for easy and safe string formatting by generating classes with methods to format predefined templates.

Features

• Define template properties with format strings using attributes.
• Auto-generate classes with methods to format the strings.
• Supports FormattableString for more complex formatting needs.

How to Use

1. Install the NuGet package:

   Ensure you have the NuGet package installed in your project. If not, you can install it via the NuGet Package Manager or the .NET CLI.

   dotnet add package JKToolKit.TemplatePropertyGenerator

2. Define your templates:

   Use the TemplateProperty attribute to define your template properties in a partial class. The attribute takes the name of the property and the format string as parameters.

   [TemplateProperty("Hello", "Hello {value}, {value}!")]
   [TemplateProperty("FooBar", "Foo {value}, Bar {value}")]
   public static partial class Consts
   {
   }

3. Use the generated code:

   Once the generator runs, it will produce a class with properties and methods to format your strings. You can use these in your code as shown below:

   private static void Main(string[] args)
   {
       Console.WriteLine(Consts.Hello.Template); // Output: Hello {value}, {value}!
       Console.WriteLine(Consts.Hello.Format("World")); // Output: Hello World, World!
      Console.WriteLine(Consts.FooBar.Format("Foo1", "Bar1")); // Output: Foo Foo1, Bar Bar1
   }

Program.cs

This is the use of JKToolKit.TemplatePropertyGenerator in Program.cs

using SimpleTemplate;

Person person = new();
person.FirstName = "Andrei";
person.LastName = "Ignat";
Console.WriteLine(new Person.HelloClass().Format(person.FirstName,person.LastName));

Person.cs

This is the use of JKToolKit.TemplatePropertyGenerator in Person.cs

namespace SimpleTemplate;
[TemplateProperty("Hello", "Hello {name1}, {name2}!")]
internal partial class Person
{
    public string? FirstName { get; set; }
    public string? LastName { get; set; }
}

TemplatePropertyAttribute.g.cs

global using JKToolKit.TemplatePropertyGenerator.Attributes;

using System;

namespace JKToolKit.TemplatePropertyGenerator.Attributes;

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = true)]
internal class TemplatePropertyAttribute : Attribute
{
    public string Name { get; }
    public string Format { get; }

    public TemplatePropertyAttribute(string name, string format)
    {
        Name = name;
        Format = format;
    }
}

SimpleTemplate.Person_Generated.cs

// <auto-generated />
using System;
namespace SimpleTemplate
{
    internal partial class Person
    {
        public static readonly HelloClass Hello = new();

        public class HelloClass
        {
            public string Template => "Hello {name1}, {name2}!";

            internal HelloClass()
            {
            }

            public string Format(string name1, string name2)
            {
                return $"Hello {name1}, {name2}!";
            }

            public FormattableString AsFormattable(string name1, string name2)
            {
                return $"Hello {name1}, {name2}!";
            }
