Various static helpers to assist with runtime generation of type-safe C# code. The helpers wrap the Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.SyntaxFactory class provided by Roslyn.

This is still an early release of an internal helper tool so there might be some inconsistencies or improvements to be made.

Example

Create an instance of a CodeFile, define the class and write it to a file:

var codeFile = new CodeFile
{
    DefinedInNamespace = "BlueprintTech.CodeGeneration.Test",
    UsingNamespaces = new[]
    {
        "System"
    },
    ClassName = "ACodeGenerationTestClass",
    AccessModifiers = new[]
    {
        SyntaxKind.PublicKeyword,
        SyntaxKind.StaticKeyword
    },
    Members = () => new[]
    {
        Methods.Header("Test", Types.Void)
            .WithModifiers(Tokens.StaticModifier)
            .WithBody(
                Invocations.Invoke("Console", "WriteLine", "Hello world!".AsLiteral().AsArgument())
                .AsStatement().AsBlock())
    }
};

File.WriteAllText("ACodeGenerationTestClass.cs", codeFile.Definition());

Resulting in:

namespace BlueprintTech.CodeGeneration.Test
{
    using System;

    public static class ACodeGenerationTestClass
    {
        static void Test()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");
        }
    }
}
