Ability to define nested class

[beninkg]

I have a requirement in my project, need to define a nested class. Is it an exiting feature?

Hey! Yeah you can use the class builder for that. Here is an example:

var @class = new ClassBuilder("MyClass", "MyNamespace")
	.With(new ClassBuildMember(new ClassBuilder("MyNestedClass", "")
		.BuildWithoutNamespace()))
	.Build();

This will generate this

namespace MyNamespace
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        public class MyNestedClass
        {
        }
    }
}

Thanks a lot @MilleBo for the quick help.

I have one more question on this. Can we define a property as -
public string CustId { get; protected internal set; }

I have actually missed modifiers on get/set. It's pretty easy to add so I will do it later today and upload a new version for you.

You can also use roslyn directly as a workaround if you just want to try it (until I add it to my property class):

using static Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.SyntaxFactory;

var @class = new ClassBuilder("MyClass", "MyNamespace")
	.With(new ClassBuildMember(new ClassBuilder("MyNestedClass", "")
		.WithProperties(PropertyDeclaration(
				PredefinedType(
					Token(SyntaxKind.StringKeyword)),
				Identifier("CustId"))
			.WithModifiers(
				TokenList(
					Token(SyntaxKind.PublicKeyword)))
			.WithAccessorList(
				AccessorList(
					List<AccessorDeclarationSyntax>(
						new AccessorDeclarationSyntax[]{
							AccessorDeclaration(
									SyntaxKind.GetAccessorDeclaration)
								.WithSemicolonToken(
									Token(SyntaxKind.SemicolonToken)),
							AccessorDeclaration(
									SyntaxKind.SetAccessorDeclaration)
								.WithModifiers(
									TokenList(
										new []{
											Token(SyntaxKind.ProtectedKeyword),
											Token(SyntaxKind.InternalKeyword)}))
								.WithSemicolonToken(
									Token(SyntaxKind.SemicolonToken))}))))
		.BuildWithoutNamespace()))
	.Build();

Will generate

namespace MyNamespace
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        public class MyNestedClass
        {
            public string CustId { get; protected internal set; }
        }
    }
}

Thanks @MilleBo

Hey again,

I have just added a new nuget version (0.14.0). With it you can create your property like this:

var @class = new ClassBuilder("MyClass", "MyNamespace")
	.With(new ClassBuildMember(new ClassBuilder("MyNestedClass", "")
                .WithProperties(new AutoProperty("CustId", typeof(string), PropertyTypes.GetAndSet, new List<Modifiers> { Modifiers.Public }, setModifiers: new List<Modifiers> { Modifiers.Protected, Modifiers.Internal }))
		.BuildWithoutNamespace()))
	.Build();

Really Appreciate for quick turnaround !!.

Thanks a lot for you help.

No problem! Closing this one then. 👍
