.NET Source Generators are the latest metaprogramming technique to add C# code to your compilation.
They help us automate tedious boilerplate implementations of common patterns, replace Reflection-based logic with high-performance strongly typed solutions, and - in some scenarios - enable Native AOT deployments.
Introduced in .NET 5, their capabilities are expanded in .NET 6, which also starts utilizing their power in order to level up well-established scenarios, such as logging, JSON (de)serialization, and regular expressions. Additionally, C# 9.0 adds module initializers and extends partial methods, C# 11 adds file-scoped types, and C# 12 previews Interceptors to further compile-time code generation.

Not only would I like to show you these language features plus the basic mechanics of adding new sources and reporting diagnostics via (Incremental) Source Generators, but also cover a selection of advanced topics, including unit testing (both the Generator itself and the code it generates), code coverage, mutation testing, benchmarking, and how to use nullable reference types within .NET Standard 2.0 Generator-Projects. As a bonus, I shall deliver a suite of (web) tools to kick-start your journey.
