AutoEntityGenerator

AutoEntityGenerator is a Visual Studio extension that simplifies the process of generating Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) and mapping extensions based on existing domain entity classes. This extension helps developers quickly create and maintain supporting classes, enhancing productivity and reducing manual coding errors.

Features

Automatically generates DTOs from domain entity classes or records.
Creates mapping extension methods to convert between domain entities and DTOs.
Supports generating code in the same folder or a new folder.
User-friendly UI for configuring generation options.
Seamless integration with Visual Studio.
Supports all kinds of DTOs.
Generates DTOs as records when the C# version allows it, or as classes for older versions.
All generated classes are partial, allowing users to add custom code while still maintaining the ability to re-generate if needed.
Supports generic types and generic constraints.
