Name: sourcedepend

A source generator for C# that uses Roslyn (the C# compiler) to allow you to generate your constructor for injection during compile time.

Source Depend

A source generator for C# that uses Roslyn (the C# compiler) to help you with dependency injection (DI). It saves you from writing the constructor because this will be written for you (during compile time). Just tag the member with a [Dependency] attribute.

Version history

• v0.1. First implementation.
• v0.2. Complete rewrite from ISourceGenerator to IIncrementalGenerator, this should boost performance
  • keep sealed and accessibility intact.
• v0.3. Complete Rewrite: reorganized the code.
  • Allow one level of inheritance.

How to use it

Install it and add the attribute to the fields or properties you want be set in your constructor, like so:

public partial class ExampleService
{
    [Dependency]
    private readonly AnotherService anotherService;

    [Dependency]
    AnotherService Prop { get; }
}

Alternative assignment

It is also possible that the generated assignment is to an alternative property:

public partial class ExampleService
{
    [Dependency(nameof(BindingContext))]
    AnotherService ViewModel => BindingContext as AnotherService;
}

Inheritance

And it is possible to inherit from a base implementation that also uses the [Dependency] attribute:

internal partial class BaseExampleService
{
    [Dependency]
    private readonly IForBaseService _someBaseService;
}

internal partial class ExampleService : BaseExampleService
{

}

Add construction work

Because your constructor is highjacked, there are the alternative methods PreConstruct/PostConstruct to do your construction work:

public partial class ExampleService
{
    [Dependency]
    private readonly AnotherService anotherService;

    ///This method will be called before the generated assignments
    partial void PreConstruct()
    {
        Initialize()
    }

    ///This method will be called after the generated assignments
    partial void PostConstruct() => anotherService.ConstructValue = "Hello from post-construct!";
}

These samples give the following combined generated code:

namespace ConsoleApp
{
    public partial class ExampleService
    {
        public ExampleService(ConsoleApp.IAnotherService anotherService, ConsoleApp.AnotherService prop, ConsoleApp.AnotherService viewModel, ConsoleApp.IForBaseService someBaseService) : base(someBaseService)
        {
            PreConstruct();

            this.anotherService = anotherService;
            Prop = prop;
            BindingContext = viewModel;

            PostConstruct();
        }

        partial void PreConstruct();
        partial void PostConstruct();
    }
}

namespace ConsoleApp
{
    /// <inheritdoc/>
    internal partial class BaseExampleService
    {
        public BaseExampleService(ConsoleApp.IForBaseService someBaseService)
        {
            PreConstruct();

            this._someBaseService = someBaseService;

            PostConstruct();
        }

        partial void PreConstruct();
        partial void PostConstruct();
    }
}

Installing

The package is available on NuGet. To install from the command line:

dotnet add package sourcedepend

Or use the Package Manager in Visual Studio.

How to use

Example ( source csproj, source files )

CSharp Project

This is the CSharp Project that references sourcedepend

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

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

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

    <ItemGroup>
      <PackageReference Include="SourceDepend" Version="0.3.0" />
    </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Program.cs

This is the use of sourcedepend in Program.cs

using CtorDemo;

var p = new Person("Andrei", "Ignat");

Console.WriteLine(p.FullName());

Person.cs

This is the use of sourcedepend in Person.cs

namespace CtorDemo;
internal partial class Person
{
    [Dependency]
    public readonly string? FirstName;
    [Dependency]
    public readonly string? LastName;
    
    public string FullName() => $"{FirstName} {LastName}";

    partial void PostConstruct()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Person constructed");
    }
    partial void PreConstruct()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Person constructing");
    }

}

Generated Files

Those are taken from $(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GX

Dependency.Generated.g.cs

// <auto-generated />

/// <summary>
/// Injects this item in the constructor. This will also highjack your constructor, so if you have any construct business, use PreConstruct() or PostConstruct() methods.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Make sure your class is partial.
/// </remarks>
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Field | System.AttributeTargets.Property, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = false)]
[System.Diagnostics.Conditional("DependencyGenerator_DEBUG")]
internal sealed class DependencyAttribute : System.Attribute
{
    internal DependencyAttribute(string alternativePropertyName = null) { }
}

Person_Dependency.g.cs

// <auto-generated/>
#pragma warning disable
#nullable enable
namespace CtorDemo
{
    /// <inheritdoc/>
    internal partial class Person
    {
        public Person(string? FirstName, string? LastName)
        {
            PreConstruct();

            this.FirstName = FirstName;
            this.LastName = LastName;

            PostConstruct();
        }

        partial void PreConstruct();
        partial void PostConstruct();
    }
}
