Usage

:one: Annotate a class

Annotate a class with [AutoGenerateBuilder] to indicate that a FluentBuilder should be generated for this class:

[AutoGenerateBuilder] public class User { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public DateTime? Date { get; set; } }

:two: Define a class which needs to act as a builder

This scenario is very usefull when you cannot modify the class to annotate it.

Create a public and partial builder class

And annotate this class with [AutoGenerateBuilder(typeof(XXX))] where XXX is the type for which you want to generate a FluentBuilder.

[AutoGenerateBuilder(typeof(UserDto))] public partial class MyUserDtoBuilder { }

Use FluentBuilder

using System; namespace Test; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var user = new UserBuilder() .WithFirstName("Test") .WithLastName("User") .Build(); Console.WriteLine($"{user.FirstName} {user.LastName}"); } }
