Morris.Moxy

Morris.Moxy is a code mix-in code generator for Microsoft .NET

Overview

Moxy allows you to write code templates at development time, which are then processed as Roslyn code-generators in real-time, and the results mixed-in to target classes.

Goal

1. Write your code patterns once.

namespace {{ moxy.Class.Namespace }}
{
  partial class {{ moxy.Class.Name}}
  {
    public string FullName => $"{Salutation} {GivenName} {FamilyName}"
    public string Salutation { get; set; }
    public string GivenName { get; set; }
    public string FamilyName { get; set; }
  }
}

2. Moxy automatically creates a .Net attribute for each pattern, which you can then apply to multiple targets in your source code.

[PersonName]
public partial class Contact
{
}

4. The Moxy Roslyn code-generator executes the code pattern to generate additional C# code

namespace MyApp
{
    partial class Contact
    {
        public string FullName => $"{Salutation} {GivenName} {FamilyName}"
        public string Salutation { get; set; }
        public string GivenName { get; set; }
        public string FamilyName { get; set; }
    }
}

5. Moxy is FAST. Changes to the template should reflect in the code in real-time. No need to recompile C# source code between changes.
