Installation

First, install NuGet. Then, install M.BindableProperty.Generator from the package manager console:

PM> Install-Package M.BindableProperty.Generator

Usage - Simple implementation

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute.

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable]
        private readonly string _placeholder;
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty PlaceholderProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(Placeholder),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string),
                                                                propertyChanged: __PlaceholderChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __PlaceholderChanging);

        public string Placeholder
        {
            get => (string)GetValue(PlaceholderProperty);
            set => SetValue(PlaceholderProperty, value);
        }

        private static void __PlaceholderChanged(Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
        {
            var ctrl = (HeaderControl)bindable;
            ctrl.OnPlaceholderChanged((string)newValue);
        }

        partial void OnPlaceholderChanged(string value);

        private static void __PlaceholderChanging(Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
        {
            var ctrl = (HeaderControl)bindable;
            ctrl.OnPlaceholderChanging((string)newValue);
        }

        partial void OnPlaceholderChanging(string value);
    }

Options

Option	Description	Type
`PropertyName`	Specifies the prefix used to create the BindableProperty, if `PropertyName` is null, then will take the name of the field removing the underscores and using PascalCase. Example: `_tex_t` will be transformed to `Text`.	`string`
`OnChanged`	Specifies the name of the method to be executed when the property changes, if not specified, will generate a partial method that will be notified when the property changed.	`string`
`OnChanging`	Specifies the name of the method to be executed when the property is changing, if not specified, will generate a partial method that will be notified when the property is changing.	`string`
`DefaultValue`	Specifies the "text/value" that will be used as default. Example: `default(string)`	`string`
`DefaultBindingMode`	Specifies the "BindingMode" as string that will be used as default. Options: `Default/TwoWay/OneWay/OneWayToSource/OneTime`. Example: `nameof(BindingMode.TwoWay)`	`string`
`HidesUnderlyingProperty`	Specifies if the BindingProperty will hide the current implementation.	`bool`
`ValidateValue`	Specifies the name of the method to be executed to validate the values.	`string`
`PropertyAccessibility`	Specifies the property accessibility, if no parameter is specified, what is defined in the class will be used, Options: `Private/ProtectedAndInternal/Protected/Internal/ProtectedOrInternal/Public`. Example: `BindablePropertyAccessibility.ProtectedOrInternal`	`BindablePropertyAccessibility`

Usage - PropertyName

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute.

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(PropertyName = "LastName")]
        private readonly? string _l;
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty LastNameProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(LastName),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string?),
                                                                propertyChanged: __LastNameChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __LastNameChanging);

        public string? LastName
        {
            get => (string?)GetValue(LastNameProperty);
            set => SetValue(LastNameProperty, value);
        }

        ... 
    }

Usage - OnChanged

Example 1 - No Parameters

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute.

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(OnChanged = nameof(UpdateDisplayName))]
        private readonly string _firstName;

        private void UpdateDisplayName()
        { 
            // Do stuff here
        }
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty FirstNameProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(FirstName),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string),
                                                                propertyChanged: __FirstNameChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __FirstNameChanging);

        public string FirstName
        {
            get => (string)GetValue(FirstNameProperty);
            set => SetValue(FirstNameProperty, value);
        }

        private static void __FirstNameChanged(Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
        {
            var ctrl = (HeaderControl)bindable;
            ctrl.UpdateDisplayName();
        }

        ...
    }

Example 2 - One Parameter

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute. The 'UpdateDisplayName' method must have only one parameter (must match the type of the field)

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(OnChanged = nameof(UpdateDisplayName))]
        private readonly string _firstName;

        private void UpdateDisplayName(string newValue)
        { 
            // Do stuff here
        }
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty FirstNameProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(FirstName),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string),
                                                                propertyChanged: __FirstNameChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __FirstNameChanging);

        public string FirstName
        {
            get => (string)GetValue(FirstNameProperty);
            set => SetValue(FirstNameProperty, value);
        }

        private static void __FirstNameChanged(Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
        {
            var ctrl = (HeaderControl)bindable;
            ctrl.UpdateDisplayName((string)newValue);
        }

        ...
    }

Example 3 - Two Parameters

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute. The 'UpdateDisplayName' method must have two parameters (must match the type of the field)

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(OnChanged = nameof(UpdateDisplayName))]
        private readonly string _firstName;

        private void UpdateDisplayName(string oldValue, string newValue)
        { 
            // Do stuff here
        }
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty FirstNameProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(FirstName),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string),
                                                                propertyChanged: __FirstNameChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __FirstNameChanging);

        public string FirstName
        {
            get => (string)GetValue(FirstNameProperty);
            set => SetValue(FirstNameProperty, value);
        }

        private static void __FirstNameChanged(Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
        {
            var ctrl = (HeaderControl)bindable;
            ctrl.UpdateDisplayName((string)oldValue, (string)newValue);
        }

        ...
    }

Example 4 - Partial method

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute and by default will generated a partial method

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable()]
        private readonly string _firstName;

        partial void OnFirstNameChanged(string value)
        {
            // Do stuff here
        }
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty FirstNameProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(FirstName),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string),
                                                                propertyChanged: __FirstNameChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __FirstNameChanging);

        public string FirstName
        {
            get => (string)GetValue(FirstNameProperty);
            set => SetValue(FirstNameProperty, value);
        }

        private static void __FirstNameChanged(Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
        {
            var ctrl = (HeaderControl)bindable;
            ctrl.OnFirstNameChanged((string)newValue);
        }

        partial void OnFirstNameChanged(string value);

        ...
    }

Usage - OnChanging

Example 1

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute.

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(OnChanging = nameof(UpdateDisplayNameBeforeChange))]
        private readonly string _firstName = string.Empty;

        private void UpdateDisplayNameBeforeChange()
        {
            // Do stuff here
        }
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty FirstNameProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(FirstName),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),

                                                                propertyChanging: __FirstNameChanging);

        public string FirstName
        {
            get => (string)GetValue(FirstNameProperty);
            set => SetValue(FirstNameProperty, value);
        }

        ...

        private static void __FirstNameChanging(Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
        {
            var ctrl = (HeaderControl)bindable;
            ctrl.UpdateDisplayNameBeforeChange();
        }

        ...
    }

Example 2 - Partial method

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute.

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable()]

        }

        partial void OnFirstNameChanging(string value);

        ...
    }

Usage - DefaultValue

Example 1 - DateTime

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute and add the "text/value" that you want to use as default value.

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(DefaultValue = "DateTime.Now")]
        private readonly DateTime _birthDate;
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty BirthDateProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(BirthDate),
                                                                typeof(DateTime?),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: DateTime.Now,
                                                                propertyChanged: __BirthDateChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __BirthDateChanging);

        public System.DateTime BirthDate
        {
            get => (System.DateTime)GetValue(BirthDateProperty);
            set => SetValue(BirthDateProperty, value);
        }
        
        ...
    }

Example 2 - String

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute and add the "text/value" that you want to use as default value.

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(DefaultValue = "USA")]
        private readonly string _country;
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty CountryProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(Country),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: "USA",
                                                                propertyChanged: __CountryChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __CountryChanging);

        public string Country
        {
            get => (string)GetValue(CountryProperty);
            set => SetValue(CountryProperty, value);
        }

        ...
    }

Usage - DefaultBindingMode

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute and add the "BindingMode" that you want to use as default value.

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(DefaultBindingMode = nameof(BindingMode.TwoWay))]
        private readonly string _firstName;
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty FirstNameProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(FirstName),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string),
                                                                propertyChanged: __FirstNameChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __FirstNameChanging,
                                                                defaultBindingMode: Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindingMode.TwoWay);

        public string FirstName
        {
            get => (string)GetValue(FirstNameProperty);
            set => SetValue(FirstNameProperty, value);
        }

        ...
    }

Usage - HidesUnderlyingProperty

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute and set "HidesUnderlyingProperty = true".

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(HidesUnderlyingProperty = true, DefaultValue = "Color.FromArgb(\"#cc3340\")")]
        private readonly Color? _backgroundColor;
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static new readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty BackgroundColorProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(BackgroundColor),
                                                                typeof(Color?),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: Color.FromArgb("#cc3340"),
                                                                propertyChanged: __BackgroundColorChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __BackgroundColorChanging);

        public new Color? BackgroundColor
        {
            get => (Color?)GetValue(BackgroundColorProperty);
            set => SetValue(BackgroundColorProperty, value);
        }

        ...
    }

Usage - ValidateValue

Example 1 - Non-Static Method

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute. The 'ValidateNotNull' method must have two parameters (one of type BindableObject and the second one must be the same as the field)

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(ValidateValue = nameof(ValidateIsNullOrEmpty))]
        private readonly string? _country;

        private bool ValidateIsNullOrEmpty(BindableObject _, string? value)
        {
            // Do stuff here
            return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(value);
        }
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty CountryProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(Country),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string?),
                                                                propertyChanged: __CountryChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __CountryChanging,
                                                                validateValue: __ValidateIsNullOrEmpty);

        public string? Country
        {
            get => (string?)GetValue(CountryProperty);
            set => SetValue(CountryProperty, value);
        }

        private static bool __ValidateIsNullOrEmpty(Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableObject bindable, object value)
        {
            var ctrl = (HeaderControl)bindable;
            return ctrl.ValidateIsNullOrEmpty(ctrl, (string?)value);
        }

        ...
    }

Example 2 - Static Method

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute. The 'ValidateNotNull' method must have two parameters (one of type BindableObject and the second one must be object type)

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(ValidateValue = nameof(ValidateNotNull))]
        private readonly string? _zipCode;

        private static bool ValidateNotNull(BindableObject _, object value) => value != null;
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        public static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty ZipCodeProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(ZipCode),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string?),
                                                                propertyChanged: __ZipCodeChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __ZipCodeChanging,
                                                                validateValue: ValidateNotNull);

        public string? ZipCode
        {
            get => (string?)GetValue(ZipCodeProperty);
            set => SetValue(ZipCodeProperty, value);
        }
        
        ...
    }

Usage - PropertyAccessibility

Just decorate the field with the Bindable attribute and set "PropertyAccessibility = Private/ProtectedAndInternal/Protected/Internal/ProtectedOrInternal/Public".

    using Maui.BindableProperty.Generator.Core;

    public partial class HeaderControl : ContentView
    {
        [AutoBindable(PropertyAccessibility = BindablePropertyAccessibility.ProtectedOrInternal)]
        private readonly string? _age;
    }

the prevoius code will generate this:

    public partial class HeaderControl
    {
        protected internal static readonly Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty AgeProperty =
                                        Microsoft.Maui.Controls.BindableProperty.Create(
                                                                nameof(Age),
                                                                typeof(string),
                                                                typeof(HeaderControl),
                                                                defaultValue: default(string?),
                                                                propertyChanged: __AgeChanged,
                                                                propertyChanging: __AgeChanging);

        protected internal string? Age
        {
            get => (string?)GetValue(AgeProperty);
            set => SetValue(AgeProperty, value);
        }

        ...
