SteveDunn/Vogen

Vogen is a .NET source generator library that simplifies the creation of immutable value objects, automatically generating boilerplate code for equality, serialization, and database mapping. It provides seamless integration with major .NET ecosystems, including Entity Framework Core, Dapper, and various JSON serializers, while enforcing best practices through built-in Roslyn analyzers. The system supports a wide range of underlying types and modern C# features, ensuring type safety and validation across web, desktop, and microservices architectures.

This period focused on refactoring the Vogen source generator into a modular, interface-based architecture that supports granular configuration and automatic integration with various serialization and database mapping frameworks. The team removed legacy implementation code and significantly expanded the test suite, introducing comprehensive snapshot and integration tests to verify code generation, serialization, and conversion behaviors across multiple .NET versions.

This period focused on expanding test coverage for the Vogen source generator, particularly for serialization, casting, and validation logic. It also introduced numerous sample projects demonstrating integration with external libraries such as EF Core, MongoDB, Orleans, and various JSON serializers.

33 changes

This period focused on broadening the project's example suite to cover new features like gRPC, Blazor, and XML serialization, while simultaneously adding comprehensive snapshot and unit tests for source generator behavior. The work also established the foundational structure for an AI-driven development team through the introduction of Squad templates and configuration files.
