Blazorators: C# Source Generators for Blazor

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

An open-source tool claims to source-generate JS interop for Blazor by parsing TypeScript declarations and emitting C# partial interfaces, implementations and generates DI hooks as NuGet packages. It currently supports generics and callbacks, custom serialization and dependent types, and demos show localStorage persistence, a geolocation prompt that renders coordinates, and speech synthesis voices working from the generated APIs. Implementation uses C# Source Generators + a homemade TypeScript parser (now regex-based, being rewritten to a proper AST), the project is functional but incomplete and invites community contributions.
