Original Readme

note

NameGenerator

Generator of names for an assembly / product release . Generates names for {adjective}-{name} or {adjective-name-city}

The fact that is a Roslyn Code Generator ensures that you can use it in your projects without any additional dependencies - and get rid of him !

Usage

Add to the .csproj file:

 <ItemGroup>
 <PackageReference Include="RSCG_NameGenerator" Version="2024.26.8.2002" >
 <OutputItemType>Analyzer</OutputItemType>
 <ReferenceOutputAssembly>false</ReferenceOutputAssembly>
 </PackageReference>
 </ItemGroup>
 <!-- optional -->
 <PropertyGroup>
<EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>
<CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GX</CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>

Then, in the code, you can use the following code:

using Generated.TestNameGenerator;
//by just putting here
//you will not deploy the dll when you deploy the project
//name are generated in the code source
Console.WriteLine($"Name:{TheAssemblyInfo.GeneratedName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Nice:{TheAssemblyInfo.GeneratedNameNice}");
Console.WriteLine($"Small:{TheAssemblyInfo.GeneratedNameSmall}");

How to use

Example (source csproj, source files)

CSharp Project
Program.cs

This is the CSharp Project that references RSCG_NameGenerator

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

<PropertyGroup>

<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
<ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
<Nullable>enable</Nullable>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="RSCG_NameGenerator" Version="2024.26.8.2002" >
<OutputItemType>Analyzer</OutputItemType>
<ReferenceOutputAssembly>false</ReferenceOutputAssembly>
</PackageReference>
</ItemGroup>
<PropertyGroup>
<EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>
<CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GX</CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>

This is the use of RSCG_NameGenerator in Program.cs

using Generated.TestNameGenerator;
//by just putting here
//you will not deploy the dll when you deploy the project
//name are generated in the code source
Console.WriteLine($"Name:{TheAssemblyInfo.GeneratedName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Nice:{TheAssemblyInfo.GeneratedNameNice}");
Console.WriteLine($"Small:{TheAssemblyInfo.GeneratedNameSmall}");
//if you want to generate a new name every time you run the app
//put in the csproj
//<ReferenceOutputAssembly>false</ReferenceOutputAssembly>
//but the dll will be deployed with the app
//Console.WriteLine(NameGenerator.NameGeneratorData.Generate().UniqueNameLong);

Generated Files

Those are taken from $(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GX

TheAssemblyInfo.g.cs

 // <auto-generated/>
 namespace Generated.TestNameGenerator
 {
 public static class TheAssemblyInfo
 {
 public const string AssemblyName = "TestNameGenerator";
 public const string GeneratedNameNice = "Henri Bergson is feeling clear in Dhaka";
 public const string GeneratedNameSmall = "clear-Henri Bergson";
 public const string GeneratedName = "clear-Henri Bergson-Dhaka";
 
 }
 }
