[转]Multiple outputs from T4 made easy

One of the things I wanted my LINQ to SQL T4 templates to do was be able to split the output into a file-per-entity. Existing solutions used either a separate set of templates with duplicate code or intrusive handling code throughout the template. Here’s my helper class to abstract the problem away from what is already complicated enough template code.

Using the Manager class

Setup

You’ll need to get the code into your template – either copy the code in or reference it with an include directive. Then declare an instance of the Manager class passing in some environmental options such as the desired default output path.

<#@ template language="C#v3.5" hostspecific="True"
#><#@ include file="Manager.ttinclude"
#><# var manager = new Manager(Host, GenerationEnvironment, true) { OutputPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Host.TemplateFile) }; #>

Define a block

Then add one line before and one line after each block which could be split out into it’s own file passing in what the filename would be if split.

<# manager.StartBlock("Employee.generated.cs"); #>
public class Employee { … }
<# manager.EndBlock(); #>

Headers and footers

Many templates need to share a common header/footer for such things as comments or using/import statements or turning on/off warnings. Simply use StartHeader/EndHeader and StartFooter/EndFooter. The resulting blocks will be emitted into all split files and left in the original output too.

<# manager.StartHeader(); #>
// Code generated template
using System;

<# manager.EndHeader(); #>

Process

At the end of the template call Process to handle splitting the files (true) or not (false). Anything not included in a specific start/end block will remain in the original output file.

<# manager.Process(true); #>

When processing each block name in the Output path will either be overwritten or deleted to enable proper clean-up. It will also add and remove the files from Visual Studio somake sure your generated names aren’t going to collide with hand-written ones!

Manager classes

Here is the Manger class itself as well as the small ManagementStrategy classes that determines what to do with the files within Visual Studio (add/remove project items) and outside of Visual Studio (create/delete files).
