ISourceGenerator Interface

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.CodeAnalysis

Assembly:

Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.dll

Package:

Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common v4.7.0

Source:

ISourceGenerator.cs

The base interface required to implement a source generator

public interface ISourceGenerator

type ISourceGenerator = interface

Public Interface ISourceGenerator

Remarks

The lifetime of a generator is controlled by the compiler. State should not be stored directly on the generator, as there is no guarantee that the same instance will be used on a subsequent generation pass.

Methods

Execute(GeneratorExecutionContext)	Called to perform source generation. A generator can use the context to add source files via the AddSource(String, SourceText) method.
Initialize(GeneratorInitializationContext)	Called before generation occurs. A generator can use the context to register callbacks required to perform generation.

Extension Methods

GetGeneratorType(ISourceGenerator)

Returns the underlying type of a given generator
