Source Generation

Instagile.nukpg includes a source generator which produces entity types based on .theModel files. To control generation, add MSBuild Items to a .csproj file.

Item list

Item name	What it generates	Corresponding T4 templates
ModelFeature	Nothing directly - extra events are included in this project's models.
GenerateEntities	Entity types, typed metadata, typed properties, stringifying reports.	Entities/Metadata.tt
GenerateScreens	Base classes for screen customisation	Controllers/Models/Factories.tt
GenerateSpecifications	Deprecated query types for search screen customisation.	Specifications.tt
GenerateSQL	Schema metadata for SQLEntityStore.	SQLPersistence.tt

Examples

Generate the core types needed for the ORM, as well as typed search specifications (in My.Model.csproj):

<ItemGroup>
	<GenerateEntities Include="My.Model.theModel" />
	<GenerateSpecifications Include="My.Model.theModel" />
</ItemGroup>

Generate SQL in a different project (in My.Website.csproj):

<ItemGroup>
	<GenerateSQL Include="..\My.Model\My.Model.theModel" />
</ItemGroup>

Generate WPF screens using a custom modelfeatures (in My.App.csproj):

<ItemGroup>
	<ModelFeature Include="..\My.Model\Custom.theFeature" />
	<GenerateScreens Include="..\My.Model\My.Model.theModel" />
	<GenerateSpecifications Include="..\My.Model\My.Model.theModel" />	
</ItemGroup>
