Customization

While most of the generated code can't be modified, it's possible to customize some methods.

ToString()

You can override ToString() manually, so the source generator will not emit a default implementation for it:

[StrongType<string>]
public sealed partial class Password
{
    public override string ToString() => "secret";
}

var password = Password.From("123456");
Console.WriteLine(password) // prints "secret"

TIP

You can also use the Quick Actions → Override ToString().

Equals(T) and GetHashCode()

You can implement Equals(T) and override GetHashCode() manually, so the source generator will not emit a default implementation for those members:

[StrongType<string>]
public sealed partial class Currency
{
    public bool Equals(Currency? other) =>
        other is not null &&
        string.Equals(_value, other._value, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

    public override int GetHashCode() =>
        _value.GetHashCode(StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
}

Currency.From("USD") == Currency.From("usd") // true

While you can override the two methods separately, it's better to override them both.
