Metalama.Community.Virtuosity 2024.1.23

Metalama.Community.Virtuosity

Allows you to make all target methods virtual without adding the virtual keyword to every one of them.

This is a Metalama aspect. It modifies your code during compilation by using source weaving.

Example

Your code:

using Metalama.Community.Virtuosity;

[Virtualize]
class A 
{
  public void M1() { }
  protected void M2() { }
  private void M3() { }
}

What gets compiled:

class A 
{
  public virtual void M1() { }
  protected virtual void M2() { }
  private void M3() { }
}

Installation

1. Install the NuGet package: dotnet add package Metalama.Community.Virtuosity --prerelease.
2. Apply the aspect to the relavant types by adding the [Virtualize] attribute to them.

How to use

By annotating a class or a record type with [Virtualize], you make all methods virtual (except those that can't be virtual, like static and private methods).
