Headless.Generator.Primitives

Roslyn source generator for creating strongly-typed domain primitives.

Problem Solved

Automatically generates boilerplate code for domain primitives including constructors, equality, comparison, JSON serialization, Entity Framework value converters, TypeConverters, and OpenAPI schema mappings.

Key Features

  • Roslyn incremental source generator
  • Generates for types implementing IPrimitive<T>
  • Auto-generated code:
    • Constructors and factory methods
    • IEquatable<T>, IComparable<T> implementations
    • JSON converters (System.Text.Json)
    • Entity Framework Core value converters
    • TypeConverter for model binding
    • Dapper type handlers
    • NSwag/Swashbuckle schema mappings

Installation

dotnet add package Headless.Generator.Primitives

Quick Start

// Define your primitive
[StringLength(1, 50)]
public readonly partial struct Email : IPrimitive<string>
{
    public static PrimitiveValidationResult Validate(string value)
    {
        if (!value.Contains('@'))
            return PrimitiveValidationResult.Error("Invalid email format");

        return PrimitiveValidationResult.Ok;
    }
}

// Generated code provides:
var email = Email.From("user@example.com");  // Factory method
var value = email.Value;                      // Underlying value
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(email);   // JSON: "user@example.com"

Entity Framework Integration

// Auto-generated value converter is registered via:
modelBuilder.Entity<User>()
    .Property(u => u.Email)
    .HasConversion<EmailValueConverter>();
