Kiota generate in csproj

[leseneda]

First, congratulations, the project is awesome.

I would like ask, Is It possible to add the command line "kiota generate --language csharp..." into the cs project file as we have in NSwag?

Or are there another ways to auto this process when we update the API.

Best regards.

Hi leseneda,
Thanks for using kiota and for the praises.
We've explored integrating with OpenApiReference in the past, but faced a number of limitations and gave up on this approach.
Your best best at this point is probably to use a pre-build event task definition in the csproj

This calls Kiota in a .csproj. Can be used with minor adjustments.
