Implementation

CodeFixProvider

The GlobalUsingsAnalyzerCodeFixProvider class is responsible for providing the code fix. It contains the following methods:

• FixableDiagnosticIds: Returns the diagnostic IDs that this provider can fix.
• GetFixAllProvider: Returns a FixAllProvider that can handle the Fix all button.
• RegisterCodeFixesAsync: Registers the code fix action for each diagnostic.

The code fix is implemented in the ReplaceUsingWithGlobalAsync method, which takes the document, the using directive syntax node, and a cancellation token as parameters. It first removes the using directive from the original file and adds it to the Usings.cs file, creating the file if it does not exist. It then returns the updated solution.

GlobalUsingsFixAllProvider

The GlobalUsingsFixAllProvider is the class that handle the Fix All button.
