CommandLineGenerator

A package that generates System.CommandLine boilerplate for you.

Features

Generate CLI commands from simple C# classes with attributes
Zero runtime reflection - everything is generated at compile time
Native AOT compatible
No runtime library dependency - all code is generated

Usage

Add the package to your project:

<PackageReference Include="LoganBussell.CommandLineGenerator" Version="0.1.0" />

Create a command class with the [Command] attribute:

[Command("hello", Description = "Say hello")]
public class HelloCommand
{
    [Argument(Description = "Name to greet")]
    public required string Name { get; set; }

    [Option("-c", "--count", Description = "Number of times to greet")]
    public int Count { get; set; } = 1;

    public Task<int> ExecuteAsync()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < Count; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {Name}!");
        }
        return Task.FromResult(0);
    }
}

Build your CLI app:

return await ConsoleApp.RunAsync(args);

How It Works

The source generator analyzes your command classes at compile time and generates:

[Command], [Argument], and [Option] attributes
ConsoleApp and ConsoleAppBuilder classes
Command factory methods that wire up System.CommandLine

All generated code is visible in your IDE and can be inspected at obj/Debug/net*/generated/CommandLineGenerator/.
