refactoring: convert class with auto-properties to record syntax

See original GitHub issue

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

It would be nice to have a refactoring option to convert a class with auto-properties to the new c# 9 record. For example, take the following class –

public class Foo
{
  public string Bar {get;set;}
  public int Baz {get;set;}
}

and convert it to

public record Foo(string Bar, int Baz);

This would be super useful. I have a codebase with many immutable DTOs (commands and events) that I’d like to convert into records for a more concise syntax. Having to do it all manually is a daunting task.

If anyone is still interested in this refactoring, it might be worth taking a look at the Convert type to record refactoring from MappingGenerator package https://docs.mappinggenerator.net/refactorings/convert-type-to-record/
