+
+### C# `SourceGenerator` for Typed Avalonia `x:Name` References 
+
+This is a [C# `SourceGenerator`](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-c-source-generators/) built for generating strongly-typed references to controls with `x:Name` (or just `Name`) attributes declared in XAML (or, in `.axaml`). The source generator will look for the `xaml` (or `axaml`) file with the same name as your partial C# class that is a subclass of `Avalonia.INamed` and parses the XAML markup, finds all XAML tags with `x:Name` attributes and generates the C# code.
+
+### Getting Started
+
+In order to get started, just install the NuGet package:
+
+```
+dotnet add package XamlNameReferenceGenerator
+```
+
+Or, if you are using [submodules](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule), you can reference the generator as such:
+
+```xml
+<ItemGroup>
+    <!-- Remember to ensure XAML files are included via <AdditionalFiles>,
+         otherwise C# source generator won't see XAML files. -->
+    <AdditionalFiles Include="**\*.xaml"/>
+    <ProjectReference Include="..\Avalonia.NameGenerator\Avalonia.NameGenerator.csproj"
+                      OutputItemType="Analyzer"
+                      ReferenceOutputAssembly="false" />
+</ItemGroup>
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+After installing the NuGet package, declare your view class as `partial`. Typed C# references to Avalonia controls declared in XAML files will be generated for classes referenced by the `x:Class` directive in XAML files. For example, for the following XAML markup:
+
+```xml
+<Window xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
+        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
+        x:Class="Sample.App.SignUpView">
+    <TextBox x:Name="UserNameTextBox" x:FieldModifier="public" />
+</Window>
+```
+
+A new C# partial class named `SignUpView` with a single `public` property named `UserNameTextBox` of type `TextBox` will be generated in the `Sample.App` namespace. We won't see the generated file, but we'll be able to access the generated property as shown below:
+
+```cs
+using Avalonia.Controls;
+
+namespace Sample.App
+{
+    public partial class SignUpView : Window
+    {
+        public SignUpView()
+        {
+            // This method is generated. Call it before accessing any
+            // of the generated properties. The 'UserNameTextBox'
+            // property is also generated.
+            InitializeComponent();
+            UserNameTextBox.Text = "Joseph";
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+<img src="https://hsto.org/getpro/habr/post_images/d9f/4aa/a1e/d9f4aaa1eb450f5dd2fca66631bc16a0.gif" />
+
+### Why do I need this?
+
+The typed `x:Name` references might be useful if you decide to use e.g. [ReactiveUI code-behind bindings](https://www.reactiveui.net/docs/handbook/data-binding/):
+
+```cs
+// UserNameValidation and PasswordValidation are auto generated.
+public partial class SignUpView : ReactiveWindow<SignUpViewModel>
+{
+    public SignUpView()
+    {
+        InitializeComponent();
+        this.WhenActivated(disposables =>
+        {
+            this.BindValidation(ViewModel, x => x.UserName, x => x.UserNameValidation.Text)
+                .DisposeWith(disposables);
+            this.BindValidation(ViewModel, x => x.Password, x => x.PasswordValidation.Text)
+                .DisposeWith(disposables);
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage
+
+> Never keep a method named `InitializeComponent` in your code-behind view class if you are using the generator with `AvaloniaNameGeneratorBehavior` set to `InitializeComponent` (this is the default value). The private `InitializeComponent` method declared in your code-behind class hides the `InitializeComponent` method generated by `Avalonia.NameGenerator`, see [Issue 69](https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.NameGenerator/issues/69). If you wish to use your own `InitializeComponent` method (not the generated one), set `AvaloniaNameGeneratorBehavior` to `OnlyProperties`.
+
+The `x:Name` generator can be configured via MsBuild properties that you can put into your C# project file (`.csproj`). Using such options, you can configure the generator behavior, the default field modifier, namespace and path filters. The generator supports the following options:
+
+- `AvaloniaNameGeneratorBehavior`  
+    Possible values: `OnlyProperties`, `InitializeComponent`  
+    Default value: `InitializeComponent`  
+    Determines if the generator should generate get-only properties, or the `InitializeComponent` method.
+
+- `AvaloniaNameGeneratorDefaultFieldModifier`  
+    Possible values: `internal`, `public`, `private`, `protected`  
+    Default value: `internal`  
+    The default field modifier that should be used when there is no `x:FieldModifier` directive specified.
+
+- `AvaloniaNameGeneratorFilterByPath`  
+    Posssible format: `glob_pattern`, `glob_pattern;glob_pattern`  
+    Default value: `*`  
+    The generator will process only XAML files with paths matching the specified glob pattern(s).  
+    Example: `*/Views/*View.xaml`, `*View.axaml;*Control.axaml`
+
+- `AvaloniaNameGeneratorFilterByNamespace`  
+    Posssible format: `glob_pattern`, `glob_pattern;glob_pattern`  
+    Default value: `*`  
+    The generator will process only XAML files with base classes' namespaces matching the specified glob pattern(s).  
+    Example: `MyApp.Presentation.*`, `MyApp.Presentation.Views;MyApp.Presentation.Controls`
+
+- `AvaloniaNameGeneratorViewFileNamingStrategy`  
+    Possible values: `ClassName`, `NamespaceAndClassName`  
+    Default value: `NamespaceAndClassName`  
+    Determines how the automatically generated view files should be [named](https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.NameGenerator/issues/92).
+
+The default values are given by:
+
+```xml
+<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
+    <PropertyGroup>
+        <AvaloniaNameGeneratorBehavior>InitializeComponent</AvaloniaNameGeneratorBehavior>
+        <AvaloniaNameGeneratorDefaultFieldModifier>internal</AvaloniaNameGeneratorDefaultFieldModifier>
+        <AvaloniaNameGeneratorFilterByPath>*</AvaloniaNameGeneratorFilterByPath>
+        <AvaloniaNameGeneratorFilterByNamespace>*</AvaloniaNameGeneratorFilterByNamespace>
+        <AvaloniaNameGeneratorViewFileNamingStrategy>NamespaceAndClassName</AvaloniaNameGeneratorViewFileNamingStrategy>
+    </PropertyGroup>
+    <!-- ... -->
+</Project>
+```

+
+### What do the generated sources look like?
+
+For [`SignUpView`](https://github.com/avaloniaui/Avalonia.NameGenerator/blob/main/src/Avalonia.NameGenerator.Sandbox/Views/SignUpView.xaml), we get the following generated output when the source generator is in the `InitializeComponent` mode:
+
+```cs
+// <auto-generated />
+
+using Avalonia.Controls;
+using Avalonia.Markup.Xaml;
+
+namespace Sample.App
+{
+    partial class SampleView
+    {
+        internal global::Avalonia.NameGenerator.Sandbox.Controls.CustomTextBox UserNameTextBox;
+        public global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock UserNameValidation;
+        private global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBox PasswordTextBox;
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock PasswordValidation;
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.ListBox AwesomeListView;
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBox ConfirmPasswordTextBox;
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock ConfirmPasswordValidation;
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.Button SignUpButton;
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock CompoundValidation;
+
+        public void InitializeComponent(bool loadXaml = true, bool attachDevTools = true)
+        {
+            if (loadXaml)
+            {
+                AvaloniaXamlLoader.Load(this);
+            }
+
+// This will be added only if you install Avalonia.Diagnostics.
+#if DEBUG
+            if (attachDevTools)
+            {
+                this.AttachDevTools();
+            } 
+#endif
+
+            UserNameTextBox = this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.NameGenerator.Sandbox.Controls.CustomTextBox>("UserNameTextBox");
+            UserNameValidation = this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock>("UserNameValidation");
+            PasswordTextBox = this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBox>("PasswordTextBox");
+            PasswordValidation = this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock>("PasswordValidation");
+            AwesomeListView = this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.ListBox>("AwesomeListView");
+            ConfirmPasswordTextBox = this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBox>("ConfirmPasswordTextBox");
+            ConfirmPasswordValidation = this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock>("ConfirmPasswordValidation");
+            SignUpButton = this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.Button>("SignUpButton");
+            CompoundValidation = this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock>("CompoundValidation");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If you enable the `OnlyProperties` source generator mode, you get:
+
+```cs
+// <auto-generated />
+
+using Avalonia.Controls;
+
+namespace Avalonia.NameGenerator.Sandbox.Views
+{
+    partial class SignUpView
+    {
+        internal global::Avalonia.NameGenerator.Sandbox.Controls.CustomTextBox UserNameTextBox => this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.NameGenerator.Sandbox.Controls.CustomTextBox>("UserNameTextBox");
+        public global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock UserNameValidation => this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock>("UserNameValidation");
+        private global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBox PasswordTextBox => this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBox>("PasswordTextBox");
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock PasswordValidation => this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock>("PasswordValidation");
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBox ConfirmPasswordTextBox => this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBox>("ConfirmPasswordTextBox");
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock ConfirmPasswordValidation => this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock>("ConfirmPasswordValidation");
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.Button SignUpButton => this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.Button>("SignUpButton");
+        internal global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock CompoundValidation => this.FindNameScope()?.Find<global::Avalonia.Controls.TextBlock>("CompoundValidation");
+    }
+}
+```
