InjectDisplayAttribute.Fody

A Fody add-in to inject the MVC Display Attribute.

Checkout InjectDisplayAttribute.ExampleTarget for usage.

Add an InjectDisplayAttributeAttribute like this:

public class InjectDisplayAttributeAttribute : Attribute
{
    public string TypeMatchPattern { get; set; }
    public Type ResourceType { get; set; }
}

Then reference and configure it like this:

[assembly: InjectDisplayAttribute(TypeMatchPattern = "^InjectDisplayAttribute.ExampleTarget.*$", ResourceType = typeof(Resources))]

• TypeMatchPattern is a regex pattern, all classes with FullName matching the regex will be processed.
• Nested classes will be processed.
• ResourceType is the type of the resource file to use.
• Properties that already have the Display attribute defined will not be changed.
• If the resource file does not contain an item with the name of the property, no Display attribute will be defined.
