Create a nuget package and publish it to Azure Devops Repository

So an idea came up. Decorate your C# domain event class with “DomainEvent” attribute. Write a tool that parse the decorated the class and generate markdown file.

So this post is about creating a nuget package for those attribute classes.

Two attributes

// for domain event class
public class DomainEventAttribute : Attribute
{
    public string TopicName { get; }
    public string Description { get; }

    public DomainEventAttribute(string topicName, string description)
    {
        TopicName = topicName;
        Description = description;
    }
}

// for property description
public class DomainEventDescriptionAttribute : Attribute
{
    public string Description { get; }

    public DomainEventDescriptionAttribute(string description)
    {
        Description = description;
    }
}

Class library project

Create a class library project and put those two above classes. Make it packable with some extra properties.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
    <Platforms>x64</Platforms>
    <IsPackable>True</IsPackable>
    <Description>Decorator to wrap your service's domain event classes</Description>
    <Company>...</Company>
    <Authors>Innovation Technology</Authors>
    <Product>Domain Events Package</Product>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>
