Original Readme
Morris.Moxy
Morris.Moxy is a code mix-in code generator for Microsoft .NET
Overview
Moxy allows you to write code templates at development time, which are then processed as Roslyn code-generators in real-time, and the results mixed-in to target classes.
Goal
- Write your code patterns once.
namespace {{ moxy.Class.Namespace }}
{
partial class {{ moxy.Class.Name}}
{
public string FullName => $"{Salutation} {GivenName} {FamilyName}"
public string Salutation { get; set; }
public string GivenName { get; set; }
public string FamilyName { get; set; }
}
}
- Moxy automatically creates a .Net attribute for each pattern, which you can then apply to multiple targets in your source code.
[PersonName]
public partial class Contact
{
}
- The Moxy Roslyn code-generator executes the code pattern to generate additional C# code
namespace MyApp
{
partial class Contact
{
public string FullName => $"{Salutation} {GivenName} {FamilyName}"
public string Salutation { get; set; }
public string GivenName { get; set; }
public string FamilyName { get; set; }
}
}
- Moxy is FAST. Changes to the template should reflect in the code in real-time. No need to recompile C# source code between changes.
Getting started
The easiest way to get started is to read the documentation.

This is the use of MorrisMoxy in Program.cs
// See https://aka.ms/new-console-template for more information
using MorrisMoxyDemo;
var e = new Employee();
e.Name = "Andrei";
var d = new Department();
d.Name = "IT";
Console.WriteLine(e.ID);
This is the use of MorrisMoxy in Employee.cs
namespace MorrisMoxyDemo;
[IDName]
partial class Employee
{
}
This is the use of MorrisMoxy in Department.cs
namespace MorrisMoxyDemo;
[IDName]
partial class Department
{
}
This is the use of MorrisMoxy in IDName.mixin
namespace {{ moxy.Class.Namespace }}
{
partial class {{ moxy.Class.Name}}
{
public string Name {get;set;}
public long ID { get; set; }
}
}
