Generate sources as post-build event

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

Thanks for this project. I recently started to use it, so far works great!

I have a question, is it possible to somehow configure the TS source generation to run after specific project is build?

So essentially what I would want is to have all my ts files generated when my WebAPI (ASP.NET Core 2.1) project is built. Ideally this should work when building the project on local VS as well in CI (dotnet build ...). I tried the CLI tool, but it said Error Package 'TypeGen.DotNetCli 2.0.0' has a package type 'DotnetTool' that is not supported by project 'xxx.xxx.WebAPI'.

Hi!

TypeGen.DotNetCli is now a global .NET CLI tool. TypeGen doesn’t have a per-project .NET CLI tool right now, because the current format of per-project tools is planned to be changed by Microsoft in the near future.

So right now one solution would be to install TypeGen.DotNetCli as a global .NET CLI tool and then add dotnet-typegen generate as a post-build action (or execute dotnet-typegen generate after running dotnet build in the console).

I think installing TypeGen as a global .NET CLI tool is currently probably the best way to add it as a post-build action.

Hope this helps!
