How can I add an Source Generator to a C# net5 project as nuget package?
To add a Project as Source Generator the following code does the job:
<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\xyz.SourceGenerators\xyz.SourceGenerators.csproj"
OutputItemType="Analyzer"
ReferenceOutputAssembly="false"
SetTargetFramework="TargetFramework=netstandard2.0" />
</ItemGroup>
However I'm looking for the XML PackageReference to add a nuget Package as Source Generator.
I worked out the solution. Thanks for your hints in the comments.
<PackageReference Include="xyz.SourceGenerators" Version="1.0.0">
is enough to add a Nuget package containing a source generator.
However you need to correctly add the Generator to the nuget package. To do this add the following lines to the .csproj of the nuget package.
<ItemGroup>
<None Include="$(OutputPath)\netstandard2.0\$(AssemblyName).dll" Pack="true" PackagePath="analyzers/dotnet/cs" Visible="false" />
</ItemGroup>
