C# Templates

Support for C# and JS templating. Use handlebars-style template strings and functions with parameters from the template will be generated instead of properties.

Example

Name	Value	Comment
Example	This is a {{adjective}} example.

---

Output

        /// <summary>
        /// Looks up a localized string similar to "This is a {{adjective}} example.".
        /// </summary>
        public static string Example(object adjective)
        {
            return ExampleFileName.ResourceManager.GetString("Example", ExampleFileName.CultureInfo).Replace("{{adjective}}", adjective.ToString());
        }

JS Templates

For JS templates, first define a JS template by creating an entry starting with "__TEMPLATE_NAME__". Any characters after this prefix will be the ID of the JS template. Add a * at the end of a text template name and an 'overload' will be generated that consumes the JS template.

The constants that you can use to make JS templates that can fit your pipeline are:

• __TARGET_CLASS_NAME__ — which is the filename of the .resx file that the ResourceGenerator custom tool is being applied to.
• __TEMPLATE_NAME__ — which is the name of the text template string.
• __NAMED_PARAMS_OBJ__ — which is a JS object containing all of the parameters to pass to your JS templating solution.

Example

Name	Value	Comment
__TEMPLATE_NAME__ko	$root.template(window.Resources.__TARGET_CLASS_NAME__.__TEMPLATE_NAME__, __NAMED_PARAMS_OBJ__)
Example*ko	This is a {{adjective}} example.
