Code Generation

Allows meta-programming-like experience to reduce repetitive code.

app.Layers.AddCodeGeneration();

Configuration Targets

Code generation layer provides IGeneratedAssemblyCollection as the only configuration target.

IGeneratedAssemblyCollection

This target is provided in GenerateCode phase. To configure it in a feature;

configurator.ConfigureGeneratedAssemblyCollection(assemblies =>
{
    ...
});

Phases

This layer introduces following phases to the application it is added;

• GenerateCode: This phase creates a IGeneratedAssemblyCollection instance and places it in the application context
• Compile: This phase compiles generated code during above phase, and places all generated assemblies into GeneratedAssemblyProvider, which is added to the application context

To access to a generated assembly from a feature use configurator.Context.GetGeneratedAssembly("MyAssembly") extension method.
