NTypewriter VS scriban

I am currently using NTypewriter for code generation.

With NTypewriter you can generate anything. It connects Scriban templates with data exposed from Roslyn API. You can run templates from VS (design time) or embed them (run time) into your application with the help of Buildalayzer.

With NTypewriter you can generate clients for any language (TS, Java), because you have full control over generated code, but similar to other tools, it uses C# as an input language.

You can use NTypewriter for that, it is mainly for generating typed TS clients, but in general, you can generate whatever you want.

You can try to use NTypewriter for code generation, but its main purpose is generation of java script clients for APIs or documentation.

NTypewriter is better and alive, but I am definitely biased.

Recently, while creating some experimental C# source code generators (xafero/csharp-generators), I was just concatenating strings together. Like you do, you know, if things have to go very quickly. If you have a simple use case, use a formatted multi-line string or some template library like scriban. But I searched for a way to generate more and more complicated logic easily - like for example, adding raw SQL handler methods to my pre-generated DBSet-like classes for my ADO.NET experiment. You could now say: Use Roslyn and that's really fine if you look everything up in a website like SharpLab, which shows immediately the syntax tree of our C# code.

What if text templates were just another asset in the Unity Editor? And could be used to generate code or any text asset. This is what I set out to accomplish with Templ. An open-source Unity Editor extension which integrates Scriban templates to enable declarative text assets generation effortlessly.

That's a well trodden path in most languages. A cursory search surfaced this library that looks like it would probably do the job:

I've come across scriban template language but it does not have any watch feature. Maybe I'll hook it up with some File Watcher API of dotnet (if it exists) and see how it goes.

Scriban or FluentEmail's renderers might be just what you're looking for.
