Blazorators: Blazor C# Source Generators

Thank you for perusing my Blazor C# Source Generator repository. I'd really appreciate a ⭐ if you find this interesting.

A C# source generator that creates fully functioning Blazor JavaScript interop code, targeting either the IJSInProcessRuntime or IJSRuntime types. This library provides several NuGet packages:

Core libraries

NuGet package	NuGet version	Description
`Blazor.SourceGenerators`		Core source generator library.
`Blazor.Serialization`		Common serialization library, required in some scenarios when using generics.

WebAssembly libraries

NuGet package	NuGet version	Description
`Blazor.LocalStorage.WebAssembly`		Blazor WebAssembly class library exposing DI-ready `IStorageService` type for the `localStorage` implementation (relies on `IJSInProcessRuntime`).
`Blazor.SessionStorage.WebAssembly`		Blazor WebAssembly class library exposing DI-ready `IStorageService` type for the `sessionStorage` implementation (relies on `IJSInProcessRuntime`).
`Blazor.Geolocation.WebAssembly`		Razor class library exposing DI-ready `IGeolocationService` type (and dependent callback types) for the `geolocation` implementation (relies on `IJSInProcessRuntime`).
`Blazor.SpeechSynthesis.WebAssembly`		Razor class library exposing DI-ready `ISpeechSynthesisService` type for the `speechSynthesis` implementation (relies on `IJSInProcessRuntime`).

Targets the IJSInProcessRuntime type.

Server libraries

NuGet package	NuGet version	Description
`Blazor.LocalStorage`		Blazor Server class library exposing DI-ready `IStorageService` type for the `localStorage` implementation (relies on `IJSRuntime`)
`Blazor.SessionStorage`		Blazor Server class library exposing DI-ready `IStorageService` type for the `sessionStorage` implementation (relies on `IJSRuntime`)
`Blazor.Geolocation`		Razor class library exposing DI-ready `IGeolocationService` type (and dependent callback types) for the `geolocation` implementation (relies on `IJSRuntime`).
`Blazor.SpeechSynthesis`		Razor class library exposing DI-ready `ISpeechSynthesisService` type for the `speechSynthesis` implementation (relies on `IJSRuntime`).

Targets the IJSRuntime type.

Note
The reason that I generate two separate packages, one with an async API and another with the synchronous version is due to the explicit usage of IJSInProcessRuntime when using Blazor WebAssembly. This decision allows the APIs to be separate, and easily consumable from their repsective consuming Blazor apps, either Blazor server or Blazor WebAssembly. I might change it later to make this a consumer configuration, in that each consuming library will have to explicitly define a preprocessor directive to specify IS_WEB_ASSEMBLY defined.

Using the `Blazor.SourceGenerators` package 📦

As an example, the official Blazor.LocalStorage.WebAssembly package consumes the Blazor.SourceGenerators package. It exposes extension methods specific to Blazor WebAssembly and the localStorage Web API.

Consider the IStorageService.cs C# file:

// Copyright (c) David Pine. All rights reserved.
// Licensed under the MIT License.

namespace Microsoft.JSInterop;

[JSAutoGenericInterop(
    TypeName = "Storage",
    Implementation = "window.localStorage",
    Url = "https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage",
    GenericMethodDescriptors = new[]
    {
        "getItem",
        "setItem:value"
    })]
public partial interface IStorageService
{
}

This code designates itself into the Microsoft.JSInterop namespace, making the source generated implementation available to anyone consumer who uses types from this namespace. It uses the JSAutoGenericInterop to specify:

TypeName = "Storage": sets the type to Storage.
Implementation = "window.localStorage": expresses how to locate the implementation of the specified type from the globally scoped window object, this is the localStorage implementation.
Url: sets the URL for the implementation.
GenericMethodDescriptors: Defines the methods that should support generics as part of their source-generation. The localStorage.getItem is specified to return a generic TResult type, and the localStorage.setItem has its parameter with a name of value specified as a generic TArg type.

The generic method descriptors syntax is: "methodName" for generic return type and "methodName:parameterName" for generic parameter type.

The file needs to define an interface and it needs to be partial, for example; public partial interface. Decorating the class with the JSAutoInterop (or `JSAutoGenericInterop) attribute will source generate the following C# code, as shown in the source generated IStorageServiceService.g.cs:

using Blazor.Serialization.Extensions;
using System.Text.Json;

#nullable enable
namespace Microsoft.JSInterop;

/// <summary>
/// Source generated interface definition of the <c>Storage</c> type.
/// </summary>
public partial interface IStorageServiceService
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Source generated implementation of <c>window.localStorage.length</c>.
    /// <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Storage/length"></a>
    /// </summary>
    double Length
    {
        get;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Source generated implementation of <c>window.localStorage.clear</c>.
    /// <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Storage/clear"></a>
    /// </summary>
    void Clear();

    /// <summary>
    /// Source generated implementation of <c>window.localStorage.getItem</c>.
    /// <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Storage/getItem"></a>
    /// </summary>
    TValue? GetItem<TValue>(string key, JsonSerializerOptions? options = null);

    /// <summary>
    /// Source generated implementation of <c>window.localStorage.key</c>.
    /// <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Storage/key"></a>
    /// </summary>
    string? Key(double index);

    /// <summary>
    /// Source generated implementation of <c>window.localStorage.removeItem</c>.
    /// <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Storage/removeItem"></a>
    /// </summary>
    void RemoveItem(string key);

    /// <summary>
    /// Source generated implementation of <c>window.localStorage.setItem</c>.
    /// <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Storage/setItem"></a>
    /// </summary>
    void SetItem<TValue>(string key, TValue value, JsonSerializerOptions? options = null);
}

These internal extension methods rely on the IJSInProcessRuntime to perform JavaScript interop. From the given TypeName and corresponding Implementation, the following code is also generated:

IStorageService.g.cs: The interface for the corresponding Storage Web API surface area.
LocalStorgeService.g.cs: The internal implementation of the IStorageService interface.
LocalStorageServiceCollectionExtensions.g.cs: Extension methods to add the IStorageService service to the dependency injection IServiceCollection.

Here is the source generated LocalStorageService implementation:

using Blazor.Serialization.Extensions;
using Microsoft.JSInterop;
using System.Text.Json;

namespace Microsoft.JSInterop;

/// <inheritdoc />
internal sealed class LocalStorageService : IStorageService
{
    private readonly IJSInProcessRuntime _javaScript = null;

    /// <inheritdoc cref="P:Microsoft.JSInterop.IStorageService.Length" />
    double IStorageService.Length => _javaScript.Invoke<double>("eval", new object[1]
    {
        "window.localStorage.length"
    });

    public LocalStorageService(IJSInProcessRuntime javaScript)
    {
        _javaScript = javaScript;
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="M:Microsoft.JSInterop.IStorageService.Clear" />

    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="M:Microsoft.JSInterop.IStorageService.GetItem``1(System.String,System.Text.Json.JsonSerializerOptions)" />
    TValue? IStorageService.GetItem<TValue>(string key, JsonSerializerOptions? options)
    {
        return _javaScript.Invoke<string>("window.localStorage.getItem", new object[1]
        {
            key
        }).FromJson<TValue>(options);
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="M:Microsoft.JSInterop.IStorageService.Key(System.Double)" />
    string? IStorageService.Key(double index)
    {

        {

        });
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="M:Microsoft.JSInterop.IStorageService.RemoveItem(System.String)" />
    void IStorageService.RemoveItem(string key)
    {

    }

    void IStorageService.SetItem<TValue>(string key, TValue value, JsonSerializerOptions? options)
    {
        _javaScript.InvokeVoid("window.localStorage.setItem", key, value.ToJson<TValue>(options));
    }
}

Finally, here is the source generated service collection extension methods:

using Microsoft.JSInterop;

namespace Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

/// <summary></summary>
public static class LocalStorageServiceCollectionExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Adds the <see cref="IStorageService" /> service to the service collection.
    /// </summary>
    public static IServiceCollection AddLocalStorageServices(
        this IServiceCollection services) =>
        services.AddSingleton<IJSInProcessRuntime>(serviceProvider =>
            (IJSInProcessRuntime)serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IJSRuntime>())
            .AddSingleton<IStorageService, LocalStorageService>();
}

Putting this all together, the Blazor.LocalStorage.WebAssembly NuGet package is actually less than 15 lines of code, and it generates full DI-ready services with JavaScript interop.

The Blazor.LocalStorage package, generates extensions on the IJSRuntime type.

    /// </summary>
    ValueTask SetItemAsync(string key, string value);
}

Notice, that since the generic method descriptors are not added generics are not supported. This is not yet implemented as I've been focusing on WebAssembly scenarios.

Design goals 🎯

I was hoping to use the TypeScript lib.dom.d.ts bits as input. This input would be read, parsed, and cached within the generator. The generator code would be capable of generating extension methods on the IJSRuntime. Additionally, the generator will create object graphs from the well know web APIs.

Using the lib.dom.d.ts file, we could hypothetically parse various TypeScript type definitions. These definitions could then be converted to C# counterparts. While I realize that not all TypeScript is mappable to C#, there is a bit of room for interpretation.

Consider the following type definition:

/**
An object can programmatically obtain the position of the device.
It gives Web content access to the location of the device. This allows
a Web site or app to offer customized results based on the user's location.
*/
interface Geolocation {

    clearWatch(watchId: number): void;

    getCurrentPosition(
        successCallback: PositionCallback,
        errorCallback?: PositionErrorCallback | null,
        options?: PositionOptions): void;
    
    watchPosition(
        successCallback: PositionCallback,
        errorCallback?: PositionErrorCallback | null,
        options?: PositionOptions): number;
}

This is from the TypeScript repo, lib.dom.d.ts file lines 5,498-5,502.

Example consumption of source generator ✔️

Ideally, I would like to be able to define a C# class such as this:

// Copyright (c) David Pine. All rights reserved.
// Licensed under the MIT License.

namespace Microsoft.JSInterop;

[JSAutoInterop(
    TypeName = "Geolocation",
    Implementation = "window.navigator.geolocation",
    Url = "https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Geolocation")]
public partial interface IGeolocationService
{
}

The source generator will expose the JSAutoInteropAttribute, and consuming libraries will decorate their classes with it. The generator code will see this class, and use the TypeName from the attribute to find the corresponding type to implement. With the type name, the generator will generate the corresponding methods, and return types. The method implementations will be extensions of the IJSRuntime.

The following is an example resulting source generated IGeolocationService object:

namespace Microsoft.JSInterop;

public partial interface IGeolocationService
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Source generated implementation of <c>window.navigator.geolocation.clearWatch</c>.
    /// <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/clearWatch"></a>
    /// </summary>
    void ClearWatch(double watchId);

    /// <summary>
    /// Source generated implementation of <c>window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition</c>.
    /// <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/getCurrentPosition"></a>
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="component">The calling Razor (or Blazor) component.</param>
    /// <param name="onSuccessCallbackMethodName">Expects the name of a <c>"JSInvokableAttribute"</c> C# method with the following <c>System.Action{GeolocationPosition}"</c>.</param>
    /// <param name="onErrorCallbackMethodName">Expects the name of a <c>"JSInvokableAttribute"</c> C# method with the following <c>System.Action{GeolocationPositionError}"</c>.</param>
    /// <param name="options">The <c>PositionOptions</c> value.</param>
    void GetCurrentPosition<TComponent>(
        TComponent component,
        string onSuccessCallbackMethodName,
        string? onErrorCallbackMethodName = null,
        PositionOptions? options = null)
        where TComponent : class;

    /// <summary>
    /// Source generated implementation of <c>window.navigator.geolocation.watchPosition</c>.
    /// <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/watchPosition"></a>
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="component">The calling Razor (or Blazor) component.</param>
    /// <param name="onSuccessCallbackMethodName">Expects the name of a <c>"JSInvokableAttribute"</c> C# method with the following <c>System.Action{GeolocationPosition}"</c>.</param>
    /// <param name="onErrorCallbackMethodName">Expects the name of a <c>"JSInvokableAttribute"</c> C# method with the following <c>System.Action{GeolocationPositionError}"</c>.</param>
    /// <param name="options">The <c>PositionOptions</c> value.</param>
    double WatchPosition<TComponent>(
        TComponent component, 
        string onSuccessCallbackMethodName, 
        string? onErrorCallbackMethodName = null, 
        PositionOptions? options = null) 
        where TComponent : class;
}

The generator will also produce the corresponding APIs object types. For example, the Geolocation API defines the following:

GeolocationService
PositionOptions
GeolocationCoordinates
GeolocationPosition
GeolocationPositionError

namespace Microsoft.JSInterop;

/// <inheritdoc />
internal sealed class GeolocationService : IGeolocationService
{
    private readonly IJSInProcessRuntime _javaScript = null;

    public GeolocationService(IJSInProcessRuntime javaScript)
    {
        _javaScript = javaScript;
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="M:Microsoft.JSInterop.IGeolocationService.ClearWatch(System.Double)" />
    void IGeolocationService.ClearWatch(double watchId)
    {
        _javaScript.InvokeVoid("window.navigator.geolocation.clearWatch", watchId);
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="M:Microsoft.JSInterop.IGeolocationService.GetCurrentPosition``1(``0,System.String,System.String,Microsoft.JSInterop.PositionOptions)" />
    void IGeolocationService.GetCurrentPosition<TComponent>(
        TComponent component, 
        string onSuccessCallbackMethodName, 
        string? onErrorCallbackMethodName, 
        PositionOptions? options)
    {
        _javaScript.InvokeVoid("blazorators.getCurrentPosition", DotNetObjectReference.Create<TComponent>(component), onSuccessCallbackMethodName, onErrorCallbackMethodName, options);
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="M:Microsoft.JSInterop.IGeolocationService.WatchPosition``1(``0,System.String,System.String,Microsoft.JSInterop.PositionOptions)" />
    double IGeolocationService.WatchPosition<TComponent>(
        TComponent component, 
        string onSuccessCallbackMethodName, 
        string? onErrorCallbackMethodName, 
        PositionOptions? options)
    {
        return _javaScript.Invoke<double>("blazorators.watchPosition", new object[4]
        {
            DotNetObjectReference.Create<TComponent>(component),
            onSuccessCallbackMethodName,
            onErrorCallbackMethodName,
            options
        });
    }
}

// Additional models omitted for brevity...

In addition to this GeolocationExtensions class being generated, the generator will also generate a bit of JavaScript. Some methods cannot be directly invoked as they define callbacks. The approach the generator takes is to delegate callback methods on a given T instance, with the JSInvokable attribute. Our generator should also warn when the corresponding T instance doesn't define a matching method name that is also JSInvokable.

const getCurrentLocation =
    (dotnetObj, successMethodName, errorMethodName, options) =>
    {
        if (navigator && navigator.geolocation) {
            navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
                (position) => {
                    dotnetObj.invokeMethodAsync(
                        successMethodName, position);
                },
                (error) => {
                    dotnetObj.invokeMethodAsync(
                        errorMethodName, error);
                },
                options);
        }
    };

// Other implementations omitted for brevity...
// But we'd also define a "watchPosition" wrapper.
// The "clearWatch" is a straight pass-thru, no wrapper needed.

window.blazorator = {
    getCurrentLocation,
    watchPosition
};

The resulting JavaScript will have to be exposed to consuming projects. Additionally, consuming projects will need to adhere to extension method consumption semantics. When calling generated extension methods that require .NET object references of type T, the callback names should be marked with JSInvokable and the nameof operator should be used to ensure names are accurate. Consider the following example consuming Blazor component:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
using Microsoft.JSInterop;
using Microsoft.JSInterop.Extensions;

namespace Example.Components;

// This is the other half of ConsumingComponent.razor
public sealed partial class ConsumingComponent
{
    [Inject]
    public IJSRuntime JavaScript { get; set; }

    protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender)
    {
        if (firstRender)
        {
            await JavaScript.GetCurrentPositionAsync(
                this,
                nameof(OnCoordinatesPermitted),
                nameof(OnErrorRequestingCoordinates));
        }
    }

    [JSInvokable]
    public async Task OnCoordinatesPermitted(
        GeolocationPosition position)
    {
        // TODO: consume/handle position.

        await InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged);
    }

    [JSInvokable]
    public async Task OnErrorRequestingCoordinates(
        GeolocationPositionError error)
    {
        // TODO: consume/handle error.

        await InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged);
    }
}

Pseudocode and logical flow ➡️

Consumer decorates a static partial class with the JSAutoInteropAttribute.
Source generator is called:
- JavaScriptInteropGenerator.Initialize
- JavaScriptInteropGenerator.Execute
The generator determines the TypeName from the attribute of the contextual class.
1. The TypeName is used to look up the corresponding TypeScript type definition.
2. If found, and a valid API - attempt source generation.

Future work

Known limitations ⚠️

At the time of writing, only pure JavaScript interop is supported. It is a stretch goal to add the following (currently missing) features:

Source generate corresponding (and supporting) JavaScript files.
- We'd need to accept a desired output path from the consumer, JavaScriptOutputPath.
- We would need to append all JavaScript into a single builder, and emit it collectively.
Allow for declarative and custom type mappings, for example; suppose the consumer wants the API to use generics instead of string.
- We'd need to expose a TypeConverter parameter and allow for consumers to implement their own.
- We'd provide a default one for standard JSON serialization, StringTypeConverter (maybe make this the default).
