Cli tool	Global tool	Core library

Dotnet cli tool for generating c# / f# / vb / cil enums from json files.

If you have config in json files it can be nice to have a enum to reference in the code instead of having to hard code values, this tool allows you to generate that enum.

There are 4 different ways to use the generator:

To be able to handle many different file structures the generator takes in a number of JsonPath entries:

Note: If no entryvalue is provided the index in the collection will be used as the value.

Here's a couple structure examples:

• Outer array

  json:

  [
    {
      "name": "A",
      "value": 1
    },
    {
      "name": "B",
      "value": 2
    },
  ]

  options:

  collection = "[*]"
  entryname = "name"
  entryvalue = "value"

• Inner array

  json:

  {
    "entries": [
        "A",
        "B"
    ]
  }

  options:

  collection = "entries[*]"
  entryname = "$"

• Inner object

  json:

  {
    "entries": [
      {
        "info": {
          "name": "A"
        },
        "value": 10
      },
      {
        "info": {
          "name": "B"
        },
        "value": 20
      }
    ]
  }

  options:

  collection = "entries[*]"
  entryname = "info.name"
  entryvalue = "value"

• Deep search

  json:

  {
    "collection1": {
      "entries": [
        {
          "name": "A"
        },
        {
          "name": "B"
        }
      ]
    },
    "collection2": {
      "entries": [
        {
          "name": "C"
        },
        {
          "name": "D"
        }
      ]
    }
  }

  options:

  collection = "..entries[*]"
  entryname = "name"
  entryvalue = "value"

• Filtering

  json:

  [
    {
      "name": "A",
      "value": 1,
      "active": false
    },
    {
      "name": "B",
      "value": 2,
      "active": true
    },
    {
      "name": "C",
      "value": 3,
      "active": true
    },
    {
      "name": "D",
      "value": 4,
      "active": false
    }
  ]

  options:

  collection = "[?(@.active == true)]"
  entryname = "name"
  entryvalue = "value"

Note: Enable verbose logging to get more output about what the mapper is doing.
