Mastering Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP): Concepts and Examples

Mastering Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP): Concepts and Examples Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is a programming paradigm that takes modularity to the next level. It allows you to neatly separate cross-cutting concerns like logging, security, or transaction management from your main business logic. Think of it as an enhancement to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that brings even more structure and reusability to your codebase. link to link to Key Concepts of AOP Here’s a quick dive into the foundational elements of AOP: ...

Mastering Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP): Concepts and Examples

To create a code generator that automatically caches any function with a cache attribute that takes a duration, you can use a source generator in .NET. Source generators allow you to generate additional source code at compile time. Step 1: Define the Cache Attribute First, define the cache attribute that will be used to mark methods for caching: using System; [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = false)] public sealed class CacheAttribute : Attribute { public CacheAttribute(int durationInSeconds) { DurationInSeconds = durationInSeconds; } public int DurationInSeconds { get; } } Step 2: Create the Source Generator Next, create the source generator that will generate the caching logic for methods marked with the CacheAttribute. ...
