Deep clone generator

Deep clone generator is a library that utilizes source generator to generate a DeepClone() method which clones classes by its values.

NuGet Version GitHub Actions Workflow Status GitHub issues

Usage

  1. Install package using dotnet add DeepCloneGenerator
  2. Add the [GenerateDeepClone] attribute on top of a partial class that you want to generate a DeepClone() method for
  3. Done! You now have a DeepClone() method

Supported type members

The following type members are supported:

  • Fields
  • required Fields
  • Properties
  • required Properties

Supported types

The following types are supported for deep cloning:

  • Any class annotated with [GenerateDeepClone]
  • Any built-in value type
  • Any concrete class which implements ICollection<T> and has a parameterless ctor (like List<T> and HashSet<T>)
  • Any IEnumerable<T> (the clone will have a List<T> with the values of the original cloned)
  • Any concrete class which implements IDictionary<T, V> and has a parameterless ctor (like Dictionary<T, V>)
  • Any struct
  • Any record

Known limitations

  • When collections are made with certain characteristics, those characteristics are currently lost (e.g.: an EqualityComparer for a Dictionary)
  • Classes with primary constructors are not yet supported

Future plans

  • Add analyzers which will inform of known limitations as warnings when DeepClone functionality is not working as intended

Requests

There are many many more scenarios in which people can structure classes/structs. I intend to cover them all but my imagination has his limits.

Feel free to submit issues when one of the more exotic situations are not supported and I'll see if the library can support it.

There are no supported framework assets in this package.
