.NET Tool

We offer a .NET CLI tool to generate code from .msg files. This tool can be installed either globally or locally within your project.

To install the tool globally:

dotnet tool install -g Zebus.MessageDsl.Tool

After installation, the tool will be accessible as messagedsl (on Linux, you may need to refresh your environment variables). It supports the following options:

• --namespace: Sets the default namespace for the generated files (optional).
• --format: Specifies the output format (csharp or proto). Defaults to proto.

The tool accepts a path to a .msg file as an argument. If no argument is provided, it will read the .msg file from the standard input.
