These powerful tools serve as an advanced feature that taps into the Roslyn compiler pipeline, allowing for the creation and injection of source code into a project before it is compiled. Source generators help eliminate boilerplate code, ensure type safety, and improve performance by pre-calculating complex or static values. Unlike traditional code generation tools that create additional files, source...
