WriteToFile(ClassFileWriter, EntityDescriptor, IEnumerable<ICustomObjectProperty>)

Write the entity class definition for an existing LemonEdge entity Interface (obtained either from custom .net code (must be marked with EntityDefinitionAttribute) or a ICustomObject)

Declaration
public void WriteToFile(ClassFileWriter writer, EntityDescriptor descriptor, IEnumerable<ICustomObjectProperty> props)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ClassFileWriter writer

The writer to add the generated code to
EntityDescriptor descriptor

An entity descriptor describing the interface. This is loaded dynamically from an interface type, or for a custom object from CreateTempFrom(ICustomObject, IEnumerable<ICustomObjectProperty>)
IEnumerable<ICustomObjectProperty> props

If this interface comes from a ICustomObject then this optionally holds the custom object properties, used to provide custom attributes and validation to the generated interface
