Tmds.DBus.SourceGenerator

A roslyn source generator targeting the Tmds.DBus.Protocol API

Introduction

This source generator completely eliminates the usage of reflection in order to be trimmer- and AOT-friendly. For further documentation of Tmds.DBus and DBus in general, see https://github.com/tmds/Tmds.DBus#readme.

Usage

Either install the NuGet package Tmds.DBus.SourceGenerator or clone the git repository and add a project reference to the source generator in your .csproj

<ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReference Include="./Tmds.DBus.SourceGenerator/Tmds.DBus.SourceGenerator/Tmds.DBus.SourceGenerator.csproj" OutputItemType="Analyzer" ReferenceOutputAssembly="false" />
</ItemGroup>

Then add the xml definitions as AdditionalFiles to your project. Depending on whether you want to generate a Proxy or a handler, set the DBusGeneratorMode to either Proxy or Handler, respectively.

<ItemGroup>
    <AdditionalFiles Include="DBusXml/DBus.xml" DBusGeneratorMode="Proxy" />
    <AdditionalFiles Include="DBusXml/StatusNotifierItem.xml" DBusGeneratorMode="Handler" />
</ItemGroup>

Now you can instantiate the generated proxy class and use it like with the traditional Tmds.DBus. For handlers, create a new class and inherit from the generated one and implement its abstract methods.
