WebApiProxy.CSharp doesn't generate interfaces

[mawt]

Hi

Thanks for all the hard work!

One of the limitations I came across and fixed on my local branch was the lack of partial interfaces for dependency injection.

I've added the generator in a common project, subclass the generated services (to provide a custom HttpClientHandler for basic auth) and inject.

Another problem I've stumbled across is the tight coupling between the task and visual studio, making the compile/package reinstall thing a bit of a pain as it requires a restart. If I get time I might start a fork that turns the code generator into an external executable and use MustacheSharp for templating. Any thoughts?

Kind regards

Matt

Hello,

Just to point out that in the new version of WebApiProxy.CSharp the generation of the proxy is not coupled anymore by default to the compile task http://www.faniereynders.com/2015/01/an-update-on-webapiproxy.html?m=1

Hi @mawt, yes @wocar is correct. In the new version you will be able to generate the proxy on demand using a Powershell commandlet.

@mawt the generation of interfaces might be included in a future version, but in the meanwhile here is a great workaround that does exactly what you want:

Let's say you have a PeopleClient that got generated by WebApiProxy. The generated proxy clients are partial classes so assuming the client is generated in the WebApi.Proxies.Clients namespace, you can create a seperate partial class with the same namespace and save it as PeopleClient.partial.cs for instance.

namespace WebApi.Proxies.Clients
{
    public partial class PeopleClient
    {

    }
}

Now using Visual Studio's refactoring tools you can extract an interface from the PeopleClient class by right-clicking on the class name, point to Refactor and select Extract Interface. (You can also do this by pressing CTRL+R, CTRL+I)

This will create an interface from the PeopleClient and automatically implement it on the partial class you've created.

Hope this helps.

For completeness I added interfaces and an exception type.

Thank you @mawt, I'll merge after a quick review. Kudos!

This feature is added to the current release and is part of #39 and closes #33

Hi @mawt,

I noticed that and fixed in in https://github.com/faniereynders/WebApiProxy/commit/2fb60bc193e626305d4d8823aa873e6032ab2111. Everything should work fine.
