Custom source generator is not creating

[LeftTwixWand]

Hi!
I'm trying to contribute the Community Toolkit and want to create an Ioc source generator.
I want to create a source generator for simplifying dependency injection.
The main idea was taken from this repository: HarabaSourceGenerators

Instead of creating constructors for DI manually - we could just use attributes!

I really want to see it as part of the Community Toolkit, so I've created a fork of 7.1.0 release candidate with source generators for ObservableObject, ObservableProperty and ICommand.
But my IocGenerator just not initializing. Do I need to registre it somewhere?

This is my initial commit with base attributes and generator setup: LeftTwixWand/WindowsCommunityToolkit/commit/f71eeb

@Sergio0694 any guidance here?

Hey @LeftTwixWand, it's great to see the enthusiasm for the Toolkit, and the MVVM Toolkit in particular! 😄
Unfortunately this is not something we're planning on taking contributions for at the moment. Support for some form of automatic dependency injection like that is actually something that I had already planned to look into, but we first needed to properly create a roadmap for the MVVM Toolkit and discuss this with the team, and most importantly we need to get the whole .NET Community Toolkit started in the first place, that's also why development on all the .NET packages in the Windows Community Toolkit has slowed down lately. Once that is all sorted out and we're back to work on that, we'll be happy to mark specific features as up for grabs in case community contributors will want to help out, or otherwise anyone's welcome to open an issue with a feature proposal (or a discussion) in case there was something they want the team to look into and potentially greenlight and mark as up for grabs so they could go ahead and work on and open a PR for 🙂

Ok, I understand, that .NET Community Toolkit is a really important step, and I'll wait for news about automatic dependency injection.
And now I will just look for another things, that I can contribute. Thank you, guys, for such amazing toolkit)

Thank you for the kind words and for understanding! And absolutely, we'll be happy to keep accepting community contributions in the future, like I mentioned we really just need to setup the proper infrastructure for the .NET Community Toolkit first, but that's definitely something we're interested in 😊
