Testura.Code is a wrapper around the Roslyn API and used for generation, saving and compiling C# code. It provides methods and helpers to generate classes, methods, statements and expressions.

It provide helpers to generate:

  • Classes
  • Methods
  • Parameters
  • Arguments
  • Attributes
  • Fields
  • Properties

But also simple statements like:

  • Declaration statements (for example declare and assign variables)
  • Iterations statements (for example for-loop)
  • Jump statements (for example return)
  • Selection statement (for example if-statements)
  • Expression statements (for example invoke methods)

Install

NuGet NuGet Status

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Testura.Code

PM> Install-Package Testura.Code

Usage

Testura.Code have three different types of helpers:

  • Generators - The most basic kinds of code generators, for example fields, properties and modifiers.
  • Statement - Helpers for regular statements and expressions, for example declare and assign a variable or invoke a method.
  • Builders - Currently we have two builder - One class builder and one method builder. These have the highest abstraction and are easy to use.

Examples

Hello world

Here is an example on how to generate, save and compile a simple hello world.

Generate

var @class = new ClassBuilder("Program", "HelloWorld")
	.WithUsings("System") 
	.WithModifiers(Modifiers.Public)
	.WithMethods(
		new MethodBuilder("Main")
		.WithModifiers(Modifiers.Public, Modifiers.Static)
		.WithParameters(new Parameter("args", typeof(string[])))
		.WithBody(
			BodyGenerator.Create(
				Statement.Expression.Invoke("Console", "WriteLine", new List<IArgument>() { new ValueArgument("Hello world") }).AsStatement(),
				Statement.Expression.Invoke("Console", "ReadLine").AsStatement()
				))
		.Build())
	.Build();

This code will generate following code:

using System;

namespace HelloWorld
{
   public class Program
   {
       public static void Main(String[] args)
       {
           Console.WriteLine("Hello world");
           Console.ReadLine();
       }
   }
}

Save

var saver = new CodeSaver();

// As a string
var generatedCode = saver.SaveCodeAsString(@class);

// Or to file
saver.SaveCodeToFile(@class, @"/path/HelloWorld.cs");

Compile

var compiler = new Compiler();

//To a dll

// From string
var result = await compiler.CompileSourceAsync(@"/path/HelloWorld.dll", generatedCode);

// From file
var result = await compiler.CompileFilesAsync(@"/path/HelloWorld.dll",  @"/path/HelloWorld.cs");

//In memory (without creating a dll)

// From string
var result = await compiler.CompileSourceInMemoryAsync(generatedCode);

// From file
var result = await compiler.CompileFilesInMemoryAsync(@"/path/HelloWorld.cs");

Model class

        var classBuilder = new ClassBuilder("Cat", "Models");
        var @class = classBuilder
            .WithUsings("System")
            .WithConstructor(
                ConstructorGenerator.Create(
                    "Cat",
                    BodyGenerator.Create(
                        Statement.Declaration.Assign("Name", ReferenceGenerator.Create(new VariableReference("name"))),
                        Statement.Declaration.Assign("Age", ReferenceGenerator.Create(new VariableReference("age")))),
                    new List<Parameter> { new Parameter("name", typeof(string)), new Parameter("age", typeof(int)) },
                    new List<Modifiers> { Modifiers.Public }))
            .WithProperties(
                PropertyGenerator.Create(new AutoProperty("Name", typeof(string), PropertyTypes.GetAndSet, new List<Modifiers> { Modifiers.Public })),
                PropertyGenerator.Create(new AutoProperty("Age", typeof(int), PropertyTypes.GetAndSet, new List<Modifiers> { Modifiers.Public })))
            .Build();

This code will generate following code:

using System;

namespace Models
{
    public class Cat
    {
        public Cat(string name, int age)
        {
            Name = name;
            Age = age;
        }

        public string Name { get; set; }
        public int Age { get; set; }
    }
}

Enum

        var @class = new ClassBuilder("Cat", "Models")
            .WithUsings("System")
            .With(new EnumBuildMember("MyEnum", new List<EnumMember> { new("EnumValueOne", 2, new Attribute[] { new Attribute("MyAttribute"), }), new EnumMember("EnumValueTwo") }, new List<Modifiers> { Modifiers.Public }))
            .Build();

This code will generate following code:

using System;

namespace Models
{
    public class Cat
    {
        public enum MyEnum
        {
            [MyAttribute]
            EnumValueOne = 2,
            EnumValueTwo
        }
    }
}

Class with file scoped namespace and body properties

        var @class = new ClassBuilder("Cat", "Models", NamespaceType.FileScoped)
            .WithUsings("System")
            .WithFields(
                new Field("_name", typeof(string), new List<Modifiers>() { Modifiers.Private }),
                new Field("_age", typeof(int), new List<Modifiers>() { Modifiers.Private }))
            .WithConstructor(
                ConstructorGenerator.Create(
                    "Cat",
                    BodyGenerator.Create(
                        Statement.Declaration.Assign("Name", ReferenceGenerator.Create(new VariableReference("name"))),
                        Statement.Declaration.Assign("Age", ReferenceGenerator.Create(new VariableReference("age")))),
                    new List<Parameter> { new Parameter("name", typeof(string)), new Parameter("age", typeof(int)) },
                    new List<Modifiers> { Modifiers.Public }))
            .WithProperties(
                PropertyGenerator.Create(
                    new BodyProperty(
                        "Name",
                        typeof(string),
                        BodyGenerator.Create(Statement.Jump.Return(new VariableReference("_name"))), BodyGenerator.Create(Statement.Declaration.Assign("_name", new ValueKeywordReference())),
                        new List<Modifiers> { Modifiers.Public })),
                PropertyGenerator.Create(
                    new BodyProperty(
                        "Age",
                        typeof(int),
                        BodyGenerator.Create(Statement.Jump.Return(new VariableReference("_age"))), BodyGenerator.Create(Statement.Declaration.Assign("_age", new ValueKeywordReference())),
                        new List<Modifiers> { Modifiers.Public })))
            .Build();

This code will generate following code:

using System;

namespace Models;

public class Cat
{
    private string _name;
    private int _age;

    public Cat(string name, int age)
    {
        Name = name;
        Age = age;
    }

    public string Name
    {
        get
        {
            return _name;
        }

        set
        {
            _name = value;
        }
    }

    public int Age
    {
        get
        {
            return _age;
        }

        set
        {
            _age = value;
        }
    }
}

Record with primary constructor

        var record = new RecordBuilder("Cat", "Models", NamespaceType.FileScoped)
            .WithUsings("System")
            .WithPrimaryConstructor(new Parameter("Age", typeof(int)))
            .Build();

This code will generate following code:

using System;

namespace Models;

public record Cat(int Age);

Class with methods that override operators and comments

        var @class = new ClassBuilder("Cat", "Models")
            .WithUsings("System")
            .WithMethods(new MethodBuilder("MyMethod")
                .WithModifiers(Modifiers.Public, Modifiers.Static)
                .WithOperatorOverloading(Operators.Increment)
                .WithParameters(new Parameter("MyParameter", typeof(string)))
                .WithBody(
                    BodyGenerator.Create(
                        Statement.Declaration.Declare("hello", typeof(int)).WithComment("My comment above").WithComment("hej"),
                        Statement.Declaration.Declare("hello", typeof(int)).WithComment("My comment to the side", CommentPosition.Right)))
                .Build())
            .Build();

            int hello; //My comment to the side
        }
    }
}

Test class with method references

       var @class = new ClassBuilder("NullTest", "MyTest")
            .WithUsings("System", "NUnit.Framework")
            .WithModifiers(Modifiers.Public)
            .WithMethods(
                new MethodBuilder("SetUp")
                    .WithAttributes(new Attribute("SetUp"))
                    .WithModifiers(Modifiers.Public)
                    .Build(),
                new MethodBuilder("Test_WhenAddingNumber_ShouldBeCorrectSum")
                    .WithAttributes(new Attribute("Test"))
                    .WithModifiers(Modifiers.Public)
                    .WithBody(
                        BodyGenerator.Create(
                            Statement.Declaration.Declare("myList", typeof(List<int>)),
                            NunitAssertGenerator.Throws(new VariableReference("myList", new MethodReference("First")), typeof(ArgumentNullException))))
                    .Build())
            .Build();

This code will generate following code:

using System;
using NUnit.Framework;

namespace MyTest
{
    public class NullTest
    {
        [SetUp]
        public void SetUp()
        {
        }

        [Test]
        public void Test_WhenAddingNumber_ShouldBeCorrectSum()
        {
            List<int> myList;
            Assert.Throws<ArgumentNullException>(() => myList.First(), "");
        }
    }
}
