CodeToCommandline

Turn your code into a commandline application. Sometimes you have some exsisting code that you could use to automate some of your work, but because it takes time to turn it into a console application you are not doing it. With this project you can easily turn your exsisting code into a console application you you can run it more easly via the commandline or powershell.

Most basic example code:

// Program.cs
public static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
    var app = ConsoleCreation.Start()
        .ForType<StaticMethods>()
        .CreateConsoleApplication();
    await app.RunAsync(args);
}

The code above will result in a console application that can be run directly with arguments, or can be started so it will run with a console ui.

Design goals

• Generate a console application from your exsisting code with minimal setup.
  • Run the program with arguments.
  • Run the program as a console application.
• Simple fluent api for setup.

Non goals

• to be the perfect console application.
• super high performance (as the code doesn't run often)

Build and release

overload resolution

Because the input types cannot be determined untill the actual method is selected overload resolution happens based on:

• The number of arguments.
• Names of arguments passed in.

Todo's

• more unit tests/integration tests

possible future features

generate powershell module.
