✅ sourcegen - type location/namespace considerations
roslynrideradvanced
hi again, as mentioned earlier, i'm making a source generator whose job is the following
- define
- let the user annotate arbitrary accessible static methods with said attributes
- generate a
- let the user call them at appropriate times
it's basically the compile-time equivalent of reflecting the assembly, iterating over all its methods, finding ones annotated with the correct attribute and invoking them.
i got the source gen to work, but now i'm at a bit of a predicament - the namespace of the generated type is constant. this means that two different assemblies may have a type in the same location, which i feel like would be problematic.
- ideally i would use the .csproj's
- is having two types with the same FQN in two different assemblies fine? i saw the embeddedattribute section in the cookbook, but the type isn't a marker type...
- what should i keep in mind when choosing a namespace/identifier for generated sources, if any? any sourcegen good practice tips are welcome actually
please ping me when replying so that i don't accidentally miss it! thank you for your time.
- define
[OnLoad][OnInitialize][OnLoadContent][OnUnload]- let the user annotate arbitrary accessible static methods with said attributes
- generate a
LifecycleMethodsOnLoad()[OnLoad]- let the user call them at appropriate times
