About The Project

Generate c# code to clone objects on the fly.

Getting Started

• Add the Dolly nuget and add [Clonable] attribute to a class and ensure that the class is marked as partial.
• Add [CloneIgnore] to any property or field that you don't want to include in the clone.
• Call DeepClone() or ShallowClone() on the object.

Example

[Clonable]
public partial class SimpleClass
{
    public string First { get; set; }
    public int Second { get; set; }
    [CloneIgnore]
    public float DontClone { get; set; }
}

Should generate

partial class SimpleClass : IClonable<SimpleClass>
{
    
    object ICloneable.Clone() => this.DeepClone();

    public SimpleClass DeepClone() =>
        new SimpleClass()
        {
            First = First,
            Second = Second
        };

    public SimpleClass ShallowClone() =>
        new SimpleClass()
        {
            First = First,
            Second = Second
        };
}
