Interface Generator

[adamhathcock]

I've been using a source generator for interface generation, specifically for mock testing, with some success: https://github.com/codecentric/net_automatic_interface

I have a need now to not use Microsoft DI so Pure DI great.

However, these source generators don't play nice with one another and robots say they can never really. It might be a bit much to ask if Pure.DI can also have interface generation (which I'd love) but I was hoping you had suggestions around mock testing and this library.

Any ideas? What do you think?

@adamhathcock You have a very interesting project, I looked at it.

Unfortunately, the source code generators cannot rely on each other due to technical limitations. I may not fully understand your idea and the limitations associated with it, but the simplest solution I see is to release a new regular NuGet package (for example Pure.DI.Core). It can include all the logic of Pure.DI generation, but without the generator itself. Your generator could combine your generation with the generation from Pure.DI is under one of your generators. Here is an example of how to use Pure.DI.Core.

So I'd make my own source generator that was dependent on a new package you could make available? Sounds interesting.

Another idea I had was contributing back interface generation to this project as well? Could that work?

Sorry for the late reply. There was no way to answer. I see the PR, thank you, I'll be watching.

@adamhathcock could you please review this branch and this readme section

Thank you for this!

I like your solution better because I don't need to register via the interface, I can just use it and everything is figured out for me.

Things are like I expect and I can test users of the interface with a Mock at test time.

Looks good!
