ISourceGenerator Interface

Assembly:

Package:

Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common v4.13.0

Source:

ISourceGenerator.cs

The base interface required to implement a source generator

C#

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

Extension Methods

AsIncrementalGenerator(ISourceGenerator)	Converts an ISourceGenerator into an IIncrementalGenerator
GetGeneratorType(ISourceGenerator)	Returns the underlying type of a given generator
