jab VS csharp-source-generators

Having the same issues trying to get into source generators. I don't see too many opportunities to include it in my day-to-day development, or at least with the examples I've seen thus far. The exception being the dependency-injection based ones like https://github.com/pakrym/jab

There's also this https://github.com/pakrym/jab. Though imo, it has some downsides as well. One being less developer friendly when composing things compared to the current registration style and there's also convention based registration that so far isn't as easy to make.

Indeed! They're still early, but source generators can enable this sort of functionality, eg: https://github.com/pakrym/jab

I don't know of anything out of the box that would emit errors/warnings for a case like that, but if it was something you were dealing with often enough you could certainly write your own analyzer if one doesn't already exist.

I also couldn't find many info in docs nor more advanced tutorials, but this list of source generators helped me as an inspiration.

I'm planning to rewrite all of our company's old T4-based codegen tools into Source Generators. I've been looking at how other Source Generators are implemented and what surprised me is that everyone seems to assemble the output code manually as text with string builders or at best some simple templating engine (eg. Scriban). I expected that I would see a lot of projects assembling their output code from Roslyn tokens and then using Roslyn's formatter to produce the actual code that can be emitted into the output file(s), like this article demonstrates. No-one seem to be doing that though. Why?
