Source Generator

Refitter is available as a C# Source Generator that uses the Refitter.Core library for generating a REST API Client using the Refit library. Refitter can generate the Refit interface from OpenAPI specifications. Refitter could format the generated Refit interface to be managed by Apizr (v6+) and generate some registration helpers too.

The Refitter source generator is a bit untraditional in a sense that it creates a folder called Generated in the same location as the .refitter file and generates files to disk under the Generated folder (can be changed with --outputFolder). The source generator output should be included in the project and committed to source control. This is done because there is no other way to trigger the Refit source generator to pickup the Refitter generated code

(Translation: I couldn't for the life of me figure how to get that to work, sorry)

Installation

The source generator is distributed as a NuGet package and should be installed to the project that will contain the generated code

dotnet add package Refitter.SourceGenerator

Usage

This source generator generates code based on any .refitter file included to the project as AdditionalFiles.

The generator can automatically detect all .refitter files inside the project that referenced the Refitter.SourceGenerator package and there is no need to include them manually as AdditionalFiles

.Refitter File format

The following is an example .refitter file
