Extension methods outside builder for optional properties #28
Description
What about generating additional extension methods for optional properties which can be populated in any order after fluent builder was fully executed?
Example:
[FluentApi]
public class Student
{
[FluentMember(0)]
public string FirstName { get; private set; }
[FluentMember(1)]
public string LastName { get; private set; }
...
public string? FavoriteFood { get; private set; }
public string? Hobby { get; private set; }
}Usage:
Student alice1 = CreateStudent
.WithFirstName("Alice").
.WithLastName("TestName")
.WithHobby("Reading")
.WithFavoriteFood("Pizza");
Student alice2 = CreateStudent
.WithFirstName("Alice").
.WithLastName("TestName")
.WithFavoriteFood("Pizza")
.WithHobby("Reading");Generated code (pseudo code):
public static Student WithHobby(this Student student, string hobby)
{
student.Hobby = hobby; // Probably set via reflection
return student;
}
