在CodeSmith 使用教程(1): 概述我们通过使用CodeSmith从数据库自动生成NHiberate代码,可以了解到使用CodeSmith自动生成代码的基本步骤:
其核心为代码模板文件,随CodeSmith自带了不少常用的模板,可以通过模板浏览器来查询,此外网上也有很多第三方开发的模板,在使用前可以先查查是否已有现成的模板,或是可以通过修改现有的模板来完成自动生成代码的需要。
在开发应用时,很多人都喜欢通过复制以前的项目中的代码,然后通过修改以满足新项目,这些重用的代码通常具有很多共性(可以想想C++的模板类,C#的Generic等),CodeSmith就是用来为这些具有相似性的代码创建模板,然后通过设置属性(代码直接的不同点),就可以自动创建所需代码。
本例通过一个简单的例子来介绍创建一个自定义代码模板的方法。CodeSmith提供了Visual Studio的集成开发环境的支持,本例也是通过创建模板自动生成简化每个的C#项目都需要的AssemblyInfo.cs,在开发C# 应用时,一般是通过手工修改AssemblyInfo.cs的中属性(或者是Copy & Paste :-)).
首先我们使用Visual Studio创建一个C# HelloWorld下面(Console或是WinForm项目都可以),可以打开项目中的AssemblyInfo.cs
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
// General Information about an assembly is controlled through the following
// set of attributes. Change these attribute values to modify the information
// associated with an assembly.
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("HelloWorld")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("Microsoft")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("HelloWorld")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © Microsoft 2013")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
// Setting ComVisible to false makes the types in this assembly not visible
// to COM components. If you need to access a type in this assembly from
// COM, set the ComVisible attribute to true on that type.
[assembly: ComVisible(false)]
// The following GUID is for the ID of the typelib if this project is exposed to COM
[assembly: Guid("72797715-64b9-4bab-a49f-f55e8a0a18d7")]
// Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values:
//
// Major Version
// Minor Version
// Build Number
// Revision
//
// You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers
// by using the '*' as shown below:
// [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]
为了使用CodeSmith,我们在HelloWorld中添加CodeSmith的项目文件并创建一个模板文件AssemblyInfo.cst
创建好的项目文件如下:
编写CodeSmith的代码模板和编写Asp.Net 的Page非常类似,CodeSmith支持以C#,VB.Net和JavaScript做为脚本语言来编写模板,本例使用C#做为脚本语言(源代码/语言),计划生成的也是C#语言(目标代码/语言),打开AssemblyInfo.cst,修改代码为
<%@ CodeTemplate Language="C#" TargetLanguage="C#" Description="Create an AssemblyInfo.cs file." %>
每个CodeSmith的代码模板都是以CodeTemplate开始,定义代码模板使用的源语言,目标语言和简单的描述。
然后将这个模板添加到CodeSmith项目中,可以右键单击codesmith.csp ,选择Add output
这时CodeSmith的项目将创建好了,但单击”Generate code” 不会生成任何代码,因为我们的代码模板AssemblyInfo.cst 没做任何事。
创建代码模板可以从生成的结果开始,可以直接先把要生成的代码复制到代码模板AssemblyInfo.cst中,比如:
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
//
// Created: 1/1/2013
// Author: James Shen
//
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("User storage utility")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("Helps manage data in Isolated Storage files.")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("Retail")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("Guidebee Pty Ltd, Inc.")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("StorageScan")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright (c) Guidebee Pty Ltd.")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyDelaySign(true)]
可以把要生成的代码模板的内容分成三部分:
此时如果使用Codesmith 的Generate Codes, 将自动生成AssemblyInfo.cs (缺省为模板名),不过AssemblyInfo.cs位置不是我们所需的Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs, 这可以通过重载代码模板的GetFileName方法来实现:
<%@ CodeTemplate Language="C#" TargetLanguage="C#"
Description="Create an AssemblyInfo.cs file." %>
...
// Created: <%= DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString() %>
可以看出来CodeSmith的模板文件如AssemblyInfo.cst 和Asp.Net的Page文件中功能是非常类似,可以通过<%= 和%>直接嵌入C#代码(或VB.Net,JavaScripts)。
对于属性来说,可以通过先定义属性:
<%@ Property Name="Author" Type="System.String" Description="Lead author of the project." %>
<%@ Property Name="Title" Type="System.String" Description="Title of the project." %>
<%@ Property Name="Description" Type="System.String" Description="Description of the project." %>
<%@ Property Name="Configuration" Type="System.String" Default="Debug" Description="Project configuration." %>
<%@ Property Name="Company" Type="System.String" Default="Guidebee Pty Ltd." %>
<%@ Property Name="Product" Type="System.String" Description="Product Name." %>
<%@ Property Name="Version" Type="System.String" Default="1.0.*" Description=".NET assembly version." %>
<%@ Property Name="FileVersion" Type="System.String" Default="1.0" Description="Win32 file version." %>
属性定义通过Property 定义,Name定义属性名,Type为属性的数据类型,Default定义属性的缺省值, Description可以定义属性的作用及说明。
然后就可以在C#代码中使用这些属性,完整的代码模板如下:
<%@ CodeTemplate Language="C#" TargetLanguage="C#" Description="Create an AssemblyInfo.cs file." %>
<%@ Property Name="Author" Type="System.String" Description="Lead author of the project." %>
<%@ Property Name="Title" Type="System.String" Description="Title of the project." %>
<%@ Property Name="Description" Type="System.String" Description="Description of the project." %>
<%@ Property Name="Configuration" Type="System.String" Default="Debug" Description="Project configuration." %>
<%@ Property Name="Company" Type="System.String" Default="Guidebee Pty Ltd." %>
<%@ Property Name="Product" Type="System.String" Description="Product Name." %>
<%@ Property Name="Version" Type="System.String" Default="1.0.*" Description=".NET assembly version." %>
<%@ Property Name="FileVersion" Type="System.String" Default="1.0" Description="Win32 file version." %>
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
//
// Created: <%= DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString() %>
// Author: <%= Author %>
//
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("<%= Title %>")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("<%= Description %>")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("<%= Configuration %>")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("<%= Company %>")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("<%= Product %>")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright (c) <%= DateTime.Now.Year.ToString() %> <%= Company %>")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("<%= Version %>")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("<%= FileVersion %>")]
[assembly: AssemblyDelaySign(true)]
此时如果需要“Generate output” 首先要配置代码模板的属性,这通过”Manage output” 来完成,
次数如果打开codesmith.csp 文件可以看到为AssemblyInfo.cst 配置的属性内容:
