❔ Source generator, generating type script definitions at compile time

I would like to make a automatic type script definition from code, i consider to use source generator to do that, is it a good idea? is source generator able to do this?

a bit more context: i'm using https://github.com/microsoft/ClearScript to run js from c#, i made a list of methods, classes that are availiable to use in js and now i would like to loop through all of them and generate types

You probably want swagger and NSwag if you're doing a rest api
C
CrosRoad95•511d ago
not rest api just plain text file with typescript definition

An SG can output non-cs source files afaik.

And if you're doing grpc, you just need to use their compiler

https://andrewlock.net/creating-a-source-generator-part-1-creating-an-incremental-source-generator/ i wonder if it will okey class Foo{ void Bar(){} } do some reflection magic, generate: 
interface Foo {
  bar(): void
}
interface Foo {
  bar(): void
}

Are you talking about SGs or reflection

C
CrosRoad95•511d ago

T
Thinker•511d ago

C
CrosRoad95•511d ago
ok, i will try it then

Anton•511d ago
what for
C
CrosRoad95•511d ago
did they fix so i no longer need to restart vs to see new generated code?
T
Thinker•511d ago
nope Also, you might want to consider using an attribute to denote the types which should be targeted
C
CrosRoad95•511d ago
i'm using ClearScript tags to do it attributes* not tags how can i tell an IIncrementalGenerator to generate content, for example html files? Generator attribute doesn't like "Html" as first parameter

Call AddSource on the context inside RegisterSourceOutput although actually... i don't know if you can output things other than cs files Better ask in #roslyn to be safe
