Use handlebars instead of t4 #1

Closed Oceanswave closed 7 years ago

Oceanswave commented 7 years ago

t4 support is troublesome outside of Visual Studio (win). This PR changes the code file generation to use Handlebars templates instead of T4 templates.

Advantages:

Faster, deterministic generation
Generation can be scripted or automated via CLI tool
Regeneration doesn't require hunt-and-peck of t4 templates
Smaller, easier to maintain code base

Disadvantages:

T4 is viewed as 'cool, hip and advanced'
