This is an add-in for Fody

Facilitates adding constraints for Enum and Delegate to types and methods.

Usage

See also Fody usage.

NuGet installation

Install the ExtraConstraints.Fody NuGet package and update the Fody NuGet package:

PM> Install-Package Fody
PM> Install-Package ExtraConstraints.Fody

The Install-Package Fody is required since NuGet always defaults to the oldest, and most buggy, version of any dependency.

Add to FodyWeavers.xml

Add <ExtraConstraints/> to FodyWeavers.xml

<Weavers>
  <ExtraConstraints/>
</Weavers>

Your Code

public class Sample
{
    public void MethodWithDelegateConstraint<[DelegateConstraint] T> () {...}

    public void MethodWithTypeDelegateConstraint<[DelegateConstraint(typeof(Func<int>))] T> () {...}

    public void MethodWithEnumConstraint<[EnumConstraint] T>() {...}

    public void MethodWithTypeEnumConstraint<[EnumConstraint(typeof(ConsoleColor))] T>() {...}
}

What gets compiled

public class Sample
{
    public void MethodWithDelegateConstraint<T>() where T: Delegate {...}

    public void MethodWithTypeDelegateConstraint<T>() where T: Func<int> {...}

    public void MethodWithEnumConstraint<T>() where T: struct, Enum {...}

    public void MethodWithTypeEnumConstraint<T>() where T: struct, ConsoleColor {...}
}
