Reasoning behind spanning CodeGeneration through the Engine assembly #131

Closed mwpowellhtx closed 5 years ago

mwpowellhtx commented 5 years ago

Hello,

It appears as though TransformationContext is really key to driving the whole code generation process. However, what I do not understand is why instantiation occurs in the Engine assembly and not in the CodeGeneration.Roslyn?

Thank you, cheers.

CodeGeneration.Roslyn is supposed to only contain an API interface required for implementation of generators.

Engine package is used by the Tool (dotnet-codegen) and contains an implementation of the process.

Thank you for that. Appreciated.
