A C# source generator to create an enumeration class from an enum type. With this package, you can work on enums very, very fast without using reflection.
Package - Supernova.Enum.Generators
Add the package to your application using
dotnet add package Supernova.Enum.GeneratorsAdding the package will automatically add a marker attribute, [EnumGenerator], to your project.
To use the generator, add the [EnumGenerator] attribute to an enum. For example:
[EnumGenerator]
public enum UserTypeTest
{
[Display(Name = "مرد", Description = "Descمرد")] Men = 3,
[Display(Name = "زن", Description = "Descزن")] Women = 4,
//[Display(Name = "نامشخص")]
None
}This will generate a class called EnumNameEnumExtensions (UserTypeTest + EnumExtensions), which contains a number of helper methods.
For example:
/// <summary>
/// Provides extension methods for operations related to the <see cref="global::UnitTests.UserTypeTest" /> enumeration.
/// </summary>
[GeneratedCodeAttribute("Supernova.Enum.Generators", null)]
public static class UserTypeTestEnumExtensions
{
/// <summary>
/// Provides a dictionary that maps <see cref="global::UnitTests.UserTypeTest" /> values to their corresponding display names.
/// </summary>
public static readonly ImmutableDictionary<UnitTests.UserTypeTest, string> DisplayNamesDictionary = new Dictionary<UnitTests.UserTypeTest, string>
{
{UnitTests.UserTypeTest.Men, "مرد"},
{UnitTests.UserTypeTest.Women, "زن"},
{UnitTests.UserTypeTest.None, "None"},
}.ToImmutableDictionary();
/// <summary>

Usage
var stringEnum = UserTypeTest.Men.ToStringFast(); //Men;
var isDefined = UserTypeTestEnumExtensions.IsDefinedFast(UserType.Men); //true;
var displayEnum = UserTypeTest.Men.ToDisplayFast(); //مرد
var descriptionEnum = UserTypeTest.Men.ToDescriptionFast(); //Descمرد
var names = UserTypeTestEnumExtensions.GetNamesFast(); //string[]
var values = UserTypeTestEnumExtensions.GetValuesFast(); //UserType[]
var length = UserTypeTestEnumExtensions.GetLengthFast(); //3
var menString = "Men";
var result = UserTypeTestEnumExtensions.TryParseFast(menString, out var enumValue);If you had trouble using UserTypeTestEnumExtensions and the IDE did not recognize it. This is an IDE problem and you need to restart the IDE once.
