PowerCode.CodeGeneration.Extensions 1.0.1

PowerCode

An intuitive code specification for generating source code.

Type what really matters to declare members. The following is a simple PowerCode specification to generate class code.

Example 1 - Classes

c Person, .name
Id, Name, DateOfBirth, p5 UserDefinedField
m GetAge:int

The code generated for the above PowerCode specification is as below:

public class Person
{
    public Person(string name)
    {
    }

    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }

    public string UserDefinedField0 { get; set; }

    public string UserDefinedField1 { get; set; }

    public string UserDefinedField2 { get; set; }

    public string UserDefinedField3 { get; set; }

    public string UserDefinedField4 { get; set; }

    public string UserDefinedField5 { get; set; }

    public int GetAge()
    {
        return default;
    }
}

Example 2 - Interfaces

i Repository<T>:IEntity<T>, GetAll:IEnumerable<T>, Get:T id:int
m Add:T, item:T
m Update:T, item:T
m Delete ,id:int

... converted to

public interface Repository<T> : IEntity<T>
{
    T Add(T item);
    T Update(T item);
    void Delete(int id);
    IEnumerable<T> GetAll();
    T Get(int id);
}

Example 3 - Structures

s Point, X:int, Y:int, m Clone:Point

... converted to

public struct Point
{
    public int X { get; set; }

    public int Y { get; set; }

    public Point Clone()
    {
        return default;
    }
}

Example 4 - Enums

e Color, Red=0, Blue, Green, Yellow=10

... converted to

public enum Color
{
    Red = 0,
    Blue,
    Green,
    Yellow = 10
}

NOTE: You can also combine all the example specification together and generate the code at once.

NuGet Extension

You can install the NuGet extension to generate code for all your coding purposes by using C# Interactive or LinqPad.

Install the extension:

Install-Package PowerCode.CodeGeneration.Extensions -Version 1.0.0

Visual Studio Extension

You can execute the PowerCode specification directly from within Visual Studio. This extension installs a PowerCode refactoring.

Press CTRL+. in a multi-comment and you will get an option "Execute from PowerCode" refactoring context menu.

Install the editor extension from the Visual Studio Extensions dialog and search for PowerCode.CodeGeneration.EditorExtensions
