Simplify Source Generator creation the RoslynGenerator template

I’m currently writing my own Source generator which can become quite challenge. Yesterday I talked about RoslynQuoter as one of the tools that helped me along the way. Today I want to show you an easy way to get started thanks to the F0.Templates project.

Start by installing the F0.templates using dotnet new --install F0.Templates:

Now create a new project using the installed RoslynGenerator template dotnet new roslyngenerator.

This will create not only a SourceGenerator project but also a unit and integration tests project and a benchmark project:

Inside the projects we find a simple example of an incremental source generator that searches for methods with the [HelloWorld] attribute and generates an implementation:

But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
