Warning: This is pre-release software under active development. Breaking changes may occur.

A collection of model-driven compile-time source generators for quickly creating DTOs (Data Transport Objects) supporting the following serialization schemes:

  • JSON (NewtonSoft)
  • MessagePack
  • MemBlocks

and related types.

Models are defined as C# interfaces with additional attributes. Here's a trivial example:

[Entity][Id(1)]
public interface IMyFirstDTO
{
    [Member(1)] string Name { get; set; }
}

If using the MessagePack source generator, the following implmentation will be generated (simplified):

[MessagePackObject]
public sealed class MyFirstDTO : EntityBase, IMyFirstDTO, IEquatable<MyFirstDTO>
{
    [Key(1)] string Name { get; set; }
}

Included Packages

This repo includes the following packages:

DTOMaker.Models

Attributes for defining simple data models as interfaces in C#.

DTOMaker.JsonNewtonSoft

A source generator that creates DTOs (Data Transport Objects) that are serializable to JSON using the Newtonsoft.Json package.

DTOMaker.MessagePack

A source generator that creates MessagePack DTOs (Data Transport Objects). See https://github.com/MessagePack-CSharp/MessagePack-CSharp.

DTOMaker.Models.MessagePack

Additional attributes used by the DTOMaker.MessagePack source generator, to manage MessagePack entity and member keys.

DTOMaker.MemBlocks

Generates DTOs whose internal data is a single memory block (Memory<byte>). Property getters and setters decode and encode values directly to the block with little-endian (default) or big-endian byte ordering.

DTOMaker.Models.MemBlocks

Additional attributes used by the DTOMaker.MemBlocks source generator, to manage entity and member memory layout.

DTOMaker.CSPoco

Generates basic POCOs (Plain Old C# Objects) that implement the model interfaces.

DTOMaker.Runtime

Common types used at runtime by DTOMaker generated entities.

Model features

  • Member value types: Boolean, S/Byte, U/Int16/32/64/128, Double, Single, Half, Char, Guid, Decimal
  • String member types
  • Binary member types (Octets)
  • polymorphic types
  • generic types
  • entity members
  • Built-in freezability (mutable until frozen) support
  • [Obsolete] members
  • Fixed length arrays of above value types.
  • IEquatable<T> support
  • Templates as testable code, template-to-generator processing.

MemBlocks features

  • auto-embedded string, binary and entity members when encoded < 63 bytes.
  • fixed-length string and binary member types.

!Limitations

Single compilation unit

All models and generated DTOs are contained within a single assembly. Models cannot reference types in other projects or packages (other than native or built-in types). Generated classes are partial, which can help you mitigate the single assembly constraint.

Development

In progress

  • custom struct members (to avoid primitive obsession)

Coming soon

  • Json (System.Text) generator
  • upgrade source generators to IIncrementalGenerator
  • global interface equality comparer
  • reservation (hidden members)
  • Orleans generator
  • ProtobufNet 3.0 generator
  • MessagePack 3.x generator
  • NetStrux generator
  • MemBlocks compact layout method
  • Enum data types. Workaround - enums can be implemented with an underlying integer property and a cast.
  • MemBlocks nullable types. Workaround - T? can be implemented with a pair of members (Boolean, T).

Coming later

  • Google Protobuf .proto generation
  • model.json generation
  • command-line alternative
  • variable length arrays
  • logical value equality
  • Rune member types
