Class ValueObjectJsonRegistry

Namespace: AdCodicem.ValueObjects.Json
Assembly: AdCodicem.ValueObjects.Json.dll

Directory of the converters generated for the value objects of the loaded assemblies.

public static class ValueObjectJsonRegistry

Inheritance

Inherited Members

object.Equals(object?), object.Equals(object?, object?), object.GetHashCode(), object.GetType(), object.MemberwiseClone(), object.ReferenceEquals(object?, object?), object.ToString()

Remarks

A source generator only ever sees the original compilation, never the output of another generator. The [JsonConverter] attribute placed on a generated value object is therefore invisible to the System.Text.Json generator, and a JsonSerializerContext would otherwise fall back to serializing the value object as an object with properties.

This registry closes that gap. The value object generator registers the converter of every value object with its descriptor in , whatever the declaring assembly references, and — a hand-written type the System.Text.Json generator can see — hands the right converter back at run time. A converter registered here, for a value object written by hand, comes first. The lookup is a dictionary hit, so nothing here needs reflection or dynamic code.

Properties

Count

Gets the number of converters registered here, those registered with a descriptor aside.

public static int Count { get; }

Property Value

int

Methods

Register<TSelf>(JsonConverter<TSelf>)

Registers the converter of a value object.

public static void Register<TSelf>(JsonConverter<TSelf> converter) where TSelf : struct

Parameters

converter JsonConverter<TSelf>

Converter to register.

Type Parameters

TSelf

Value object type.

TryGet(Type, out JsonConverter?)

Looks up the converter registered for a value object type.

public static bool TryGet(Type type, out JsonConverter? converter)

Parameters

type Type

Value object type.

converter JsonConverter?

The registered converter.

Returns

bool

true when a converter is registered here, or with the descriptor of the type, as the generator registers it.

Remarks

over a value object has no converter of its own: the serializer wraps the converter of the value object itself.
