builderbuilder

Generate code for my unit-test builders. It's not perfect as you have to fix the usings and namespaces and such yourselves, but it should save you quite some typing.

Prerequisite

It expects the AbstractBuilder and AbstractEntityBuilder base classes and an IdGenerator to exist in your project. You can copy the ones in this repo if you want.

Example

This tool will take an entity, for example:

using ...

namespace ...
{
    [Class]
    public class ExampleEntity
    {
        [Id]
        public virtual long? Id { get; set; }

        [Property]
        public virtual string Name { get; set; }

        [ManyToMany]
        public virtual IEnumerable<Stuff> Stuffs { get; set; }

        public virtual int IgnoreMe()
        {
            return 42;
        }
    }
}

And turn it into a builder:

using ...

namespace Declaratiegeneratie.WebApplication.VIPLive.Test. ...
{
    public class ExampleEntityTestHelper
    {
        public static ExampleEntityBuilder Builder()
        {
            return new ExampleEntityBuilder();
        }


        public class ExampleEntityBuilder
        {
            private ExampleEntity _exampleEntity;

            public ExampleEntityBuilder() : this(new ExampleEntity()) { }

            public ExampleEntityBuilder(ExampleEntity exampleEntity)
            {
                _exampleEntity = exampleEntity;
            }

            public ExampleEntityBuilder WithId(long? id)
            {
                _exampleEntity.Id = id;
                return this;
            }

            public ExampleEntityBuilder WithName(string name)
            {
                _exampleEntity.Name = name;
                return this;
            }

            public ExampleEntity Build()
            {
                return _exampleEntity;
            }

            public ExampleEntity Persist(DeclaratiegeneratieZorggroepenDbTest context)
            {
                SaveToDatabase(context);
                return Build();
            }

            private void SaveToDatabase(DeclaratiegeneratieZorggroepenDbTest context)
            {
                context.SaveToDatabase(_exampleEntity);
            }
        }
    }
}
