T4MVC alternatives for ASP.NET 5?

Question

T4MVC is not supported yet or ever in ASP.NET 5. Is there any other similar solution ? I need strongly typed views and controllers names.

Answer 1

Looks like there is a side project called R4MVC but it hasn't been updated in 5 months.

R4MVC is a Roslyn code generator for ASP.NET MVC vnext apps that creates strongly typed helpers that eliminate the use of literal strings in many places

Answer 2

As Stafford Williams pointed out, a side project was started a long time ago, but was stalled due to (at the time) breaking changes in the Roslyn compiler.

Luckily, the project was revived, and R4MVC has just released it's first alpha build, with more changes coming soon.

While the project works somewhat differently, and isn't using t4 templates, the end result is the same, and we're working to achieve feature parity with T4MVC in the near future.
