Maxle5.FinderGenerator

Maxle5.FinderGenerator is a high performance library used for finding all instances of a given Type from a complex object.

Built without reflection by leveraging .NET Source Code Generators that were introduced in .NET 5!

Usage:

Prerequisites:

• method has the [FinderGenerator] Attribute
• method is marked as static partial
• method returns an IEnumerable<T> (T is the type to find)
• method accepts a single argument (argument is the Type to look through)

Example

public static partial class IntegerFinder
{
    [FinderGenerator]
    public static partial IEnumerable<int> FindInts(MyComplexObject test);
}

// Sample Object To Look through
public class MyComplexObject
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<int> Numbers { get; set; }
}

What it generates behind the scenes:

public static partial class IntegerFinder
{
    public static partial IEnumerable<int> FindInts(MyComplexObject test)
    {
        var instances = new List<int>();
        instances.Add(test.Id);

        foreach (var y in test.Numbers)
        {
            instances.Add(y);
        }

        return instances;
    }
}
