Eligibility Criteria

• The project is built on the .NET platform and/or creates value within the .NET ecosystem.
• The project produces source code for distribution to the public at no charge.
• The project's code is easily discoverable and publicly accessible (preferably on GitHub).
• The project contains a build script that can produce deployable artifacts that are identical to the official deployable artifacts, with the exception of code signing (Exception may be granted for strong name keys, though strongly encouraged to be committed. Exception relies on OSS signing being in the build script for public builds).
• When applicable, project must use reproducible build settings in its toolchain.
• The project uses Source Link.
• The project uses either embedded PDBs or publish symbol packages to NuGet (if applicable).
• The project code signs their artifacts as appropriate.
• The project organization has 2FA enabled. Requiring 2FA must be done as part of onboarding if not already enabled.
• Libraries that are mandatory dependencies of the project are offered under a standard, permissive open source license which has been approved by the .NET Foundation (exceptions include a dependency that is required by the target platform where no alternative open source dependency is available such as the .NET Framework or a hardware specific library).
• Committers are bound by a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) and/or are willing to embrace the .NET Foundation's CLA when the project becomes a Member.
• The copyright ownership of everything that the project produces is clearly defined and documented.
• The project has a public issue tracker where the status of any defect can be easily obtained.
• The project has a published Security Policy.
• The project has a home page which provides high level information about its status and purpose.
• The project has a public communication channel where community members can engage with maintainers.
• The project has a publicly available location where members can review and contribute to documentation.

PR Plan Summary

TypeScript CodeDOM had been a by-product of Strongly Typed Web API Client Generators since October 2015 until Feburary 2024, as a foundation library of TypeScript code generators of WebApiClientGen and then OpenApiClientGen, as well as internal code generators in some companies in whcih the devlopment teams have chosen the CodeDOM approach over templates.

TypeScriptCodeProvider has now covered a nearly maximum intersection of TypeScript language features and CodeDOM features, while:

1. TypeScript has been evolving, and likely this continues.
2. Both CodeDOM and TypeScript are Microsoft's technologies, and open sourced. Having another CodeProvider joining the "official" family of code providers sounds natural.
3. The concrete examples with WebApiClientGen and OpenApiClientGen have shown the strengths/benefits of the CodeDOM approach over the template approach when developing TypeScript code generators.
4. This may encourage and help more developers to develop code providers for more languages, and give the developers of code gen the CodeDOM approach.

Infrastructure Requirements Summary

"ReleaseBuild.bat" for release build, and "DotNetPack.bat" for releasing to Nuget.

Additional Notes

Legacy repositories:

• Fonlow.TypeScriptCodeDom for .NET Framework and its Nuget package.
• Fonlow.TypeScriptCodeDomCore in WebApiClientGen
