AvroSchemaGenerator 2.5.1

AvroSchemaGenerator

Use to generate Avro Schema with support for RECURSIVE SCHEMA

Getting Started

Install the NuGet package AvroSchemaGenerator and copy/paste the code below

using AvroSchemaGenerator;
public class Course
{
    public string Level { get; set; }
        
    public int Year { get; set; }
        
    public string State { get; set; }
        
    public string Gender { get; set; }
}
var avroSchema = typeof(Course).GetSchema();

By default, AvroSchemaGenerator generates schema with optional fields. The code below is an example of how to mark fields as required

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using AvroSchemaGenerator;
public class Course
{
    [Required]
    public string Level { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public int Year { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string State { get; set; }
        
    [Required]
    public string Gender { get; set; }
}
var avroSchema = typeof(Course).GetSchema();

You can assign a default value as well

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using AvroSchemaGenerator;
public class Course
{
    [DefaultValue("200")]
    [Required]
    public string Level { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public int Year { get; set; }

    [DefaultValue("Closed")]
    public string State { get; set; }

    public string Gender { get; set; }
}
var avroSchema = typeof(Course).GetSchema();

Aliases

[Aliases("OldCourse")]
public class Course
{
    [Aliases("Level")]
    public string NewLevel { get; set; }
}

Logical Types

public class MessageTimeKind
{
    [LogicalType(LogicalTypeKind.TimeMicrosecond)]
    public TimeSpan TimeMicros { get; set; }

    [LogicalType(LogicalTypeKind.TimeMillisecond)]
    public TimeSpan TimeMillis { get; set; }
}
	
public class MessageTimestampKind
{
    [LogicalType(LogicalTypeKind.TimestampMicrosecond)]
    public DateTime StampMicros { get; set; }

    [LogicalType(LogicalTypeKind.TimestampMillisecond)]
    public DateTime StampMillis { get; set; }
}
	
public class MessageDateKind
{
    [LogicalType(LogicalTypeKind.Date)]
    public DateTime CreatedTime { get; set; }
        
    public AvroDecimal Size { get; set; }
        
	public string DayOfWeek { get; set; }
}

NOTE

• Don't use same declaring type as dictionary value
• Don't use same declaring type as list argument
• Dictionary key must be a string type
