如果需要在运行时调用T4模板，一般有以下几种方式
- 通过TextTransform.exe传递参数的模式(https://www.cnblogs.com/ives/p/8760661.html)
- 通过运行时T4脚本生成的对象调用(https://www.cnblogs.com/ives/p/17294228.html)
除此之外调用脚本所需要的依赖为【Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating】、【Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.Interfaces】
这两个依赖可以单独安装也可以通过安装【Mono.TextTemplating】或者【Microsoft.VisualStudio.SDK】来替代
需要注意Mono.TextTemplating不含.net framework依赖, Microsoft.VisualStudio.SDK包含.net framework
随后根据微软文档中对ITextTemplatingEngineHost、以及ITextTemplatingSessionHost的描述可知
- ITextTemplatingEngineHost 可以实现动态解析T4
- ITextTemplatingEngineHost 内部有两个重要对象StandardAssemblyReferences、StandardImports可以实现引用的导入(官网文档给出的为只读属性,需要简单调整下便于外部传递参数)
- ITextTemplatingSessionHost 可以传递参数，通过Session传递
根据这些信息便可以实现基本的调用,另外需要注意的是解析模板所需要的引用需要注入,
如果使用Mono.TextTemplating,则需要通过StandardAssemblyReferences属性注入Mono.TextTemplating.dll
调用方法为
CustomCmdLineHost host = new CustomCmdLineHost();
Engine engine = new Engine();
host.TemplateFileValue = $@"{ResourceHelper.TargetDir}{SelectTemplate.Path}";
//参数传递
var sessionHost = (ITextTemplatingSessionHost)host;
sessionHost.Session = new TextTemplatingSession();
sessionHost.Session.Add("ParameterName", base64Path);
//Read the text template.
string input = File.ReadAllText($@"{ResourceHelper.TargetDir}{SelectTemplate.Path}");
host.StandardAssemblyReferences.Add("Mono.TextTemplating.dll");
input = @"test output, paramter name value ";
//Transform the text template.
string output = engine.ProcessTemplate(input, host);
