Pull request overview
This PR implements a Roslyn source generator to automatically extract component attributes from [Parameter] properties, eliminating the need for manual GetAttributes() methods in sample pages. The AttributeTable component now supports an optional Name parameter for automatic attribute loading.
Changes:
- Created new
BootstrapBlazor.SourceGeneratorproject with Roslyn-based code generation - Modified
AttributeTablecomponent to support automatic attribute loading viaNameparameter - Simplified Circle sample page by removing manual
GetAttributes()method

If multiple types with the same name are found (e.g., through partial classes or types in different namespaces), the code will accumulate all their properties into the same dictionary entry. While this works correctly for partial classes of the same type, it would incorrectly merge properties if there are genuinely different types with the same simple name in different namespaces. This could result in a component getting attributes from an unrelated component with the same name. Consider using fully qualified names as dictionary keys or validating that accumulated properties belong to the same type.

The XML documentation comment for the Name parameter's summary is "Component name for auto-loading attributes", but it doesn't specify what format the component name should be in (simple name vs fully qualified name) or provide examples. Consider adding more detail such as "The simple class name of the component (e.g., 'Circle', 'Button') used to auto-load its parameter attributes from the generated metadata."

The ImplicitUsings feature is not supported in netstandard2.0. This property should be removed or set to disable since netstandard2.0 does not support implicit global usings. The current codebase has explicit using statements at the top of the source generator file, which is the correct approach for netstandard2.0.

The generated code does not populate the ValueList property of AttributeItem, which exists in the data model. While the old manual implementation populated this field (e.g., "Primary / Secondary / Success / Danger / Warning / Info / Dark" for Color enums, or "0-100" for Value ranges), the generated code leaves it empty. This results in incomplete attribute documentation for consumers.

The method OnInitialized has been renamed to OnParametersSet which changes when this lifecycle method runs. OnInitialized runs once when the component is first initialized, while OnParametersSet runs every time parameters are set (including on first render and subsequent updates). This change means that attribute auto-loading will now happen on every parameter change rather than just once. If this is intentional to support dynamic parameter updates, it's acceptable; otherwise, it should remain as OnInitialized to maintain the original behavior pattern.

The source generator attempts to extract default values from property initializers (lines 167-197), but this will not work for properties in compiled assemblies (like the BootstrapBlazor.Components assembly). The generator operates on symbol information from compiled references, which don't include the original source code with initializers. This means default values will often be incorrect (showing "null", "false", or "0" instead of the actual defaults like "120", "2", or "Color.Primary"). The PR description mentions this limitation and suggests a Manual.cs partial class for overrides, but this file is not present in the changes.

There are no unit tests for the new ComponentAttributeGenerator source generator. Given that this is a critical feature that replaces manual attribute definitions across many sample pages, comprehensive tests should be added to verify: 1) correct extraction of Parameter properties, 2) proper handling of inheritance chains, 3) accurate type name generation including generics and nullable annotations, 4) XML documentation parsing, and 5) correct generation of the ComponentAttributeProvider class.

The AttributeTable component conditionally loads attributes only when Items == null, which is good. However, this check happens in OnParametersSet(), which runs on every parameter update. If the Name parameter changes but Items remains null, the component will repeatedly query ComponentAttributeProvider.GetAttributes(). While the dictionary lookup is fast (O(1)), consider checking if the loaded items have already been assigned to avoid redundant lookups, especially if Items can be reset to null.

The PR description mentions a ComponentAttributeProvider.Manual.cs partial class for providing accurate default values, but this file is not included in the changes. Without this manual override mechanism, the generated code will have incorrect default values (e.g., showing "0" instead of "120" for Width, "false" instead of "true" for ShowProgress, etc.). This file should be added to supplement the generated code with accurate defaults that cannot be extracted from compiled assemblies.

The generator filters namespaces using StartsWith("BootstrapBlazor.Components"), which will include any namespace that starts with this prefix. However, this could potentially include unintended namespaces like "BootstrapBlazor.ComponentsSomethingElse" if such a namespace exists. Consider using an exact match or checking for "BootstrapBlazor.Components" or "BootstrapBlazor.Components." (with dot) to ensure only the intended namespace and its sub-namespaces are included.
