NotiFire

NotiFire is a Source Generator that creates automatic implementations of the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. For a given type, you can use the Notify attribute like this:

	[Notify]
	public partial class SimpleUserDTO
	{
		private int IdField;
		private string NameField;
		private string AddressField;
		private string CityField;
		private string ZipCodeField;
		private string PhoneField;
	}

Classes must be declared as partial for the generator to work. All fields in the class will have a property generated for them that will notify when changed. If you would like to specify specific fields to generate instead of all of them, use the Notify attribute on only the fields you wish to use. You can also specify the name you would like to have created for the given field using the PropertyName property:

	public partial class SimpleUserDTO
	{
		[Notify(PropertyName = "SimpleUserId")]
		private int IdField;

		[Notify]
		private string NameField;
	}

By default, the generated property names will follow this convention:

1. If the field name ends in "field", drop the "field" and use the remaining name.
2. If the field name starts with a _, drop the _ and use the remaining name.
3. If neither of the above apply, append the word "Property" to the field name.
4. If the name is null or whitespace after steps 1 or 2, use rule 3 as the name.

If there are fields you would like the generator to ignore, simply use the Exclude attribute on the field you wish to ignore:

	[Notify]
	public partial class SimpleUserDTO
	{
		[Exclude]
		private int Id;
		private string NameField;
		private string AddressField;
		private string CityField;
		private string ZipCodeField;
		private string PhoneField;
	}
