Type Exclusions

You can prevent specific types or entire namespaces from appearing in the generated TypeScript output by declaring ExcludeType or ExcludeNamespace item groups.

Exclusions apply to:

• Commands and queries (excluded types are not generated as proxy classes)
• Types collected transitively from command/query properties
• All types collected in library mode

Excluding a Specific Type

Use ExcludeType with the fully qualified C# type name (namespace + class name):

<ItemGroup>
    <ExcludeType TypeName="MyApp.Internal.SecretPayload" />
    <ExcludeType TypeName="MyApp.Infrastructure.InfrastructureContext" />
</ItemGroup>

Excluding an Entire Namespace

Use ExcludeNamespace with a glob pattern. The * wildcard matches any sequence of characters:

<ItemGroup>
    <!-- All types whose namespace starts with MyApp.Internal -->
    <ExcludeNamespace Namespace="MyApp.Internal*" />

    <!-- All types whose namespace starts with MyApp.Tests -->
    <ExcludeNamespace Namespace="MyApp.Tests*" />
</ItemGroup>

Glob Pattern Rules

Pattern	Matches
MyApp.Internal*	Any namespace that begins with MyApp.Internal
MyApp.*.Internal	Any namespace matching that structure exactly (e.g. MyApp.Foo.Internal)
MyApp.Internal	The exact namespace MyApp.Internal only

The * wildcard matches any sequence of characters including ., so MyApp* matches MyApp, MyApp.Features, MyApp.Features.Auth, etc.

Combining Both

You can freely mix ExcludeType and ExcludeNamespace in the same item group:

<ItemGroup>
    <ExcludeType TypeName="MyApp.Features.Auth.InternalToken" />
    <ExcludeNamespace Namespace="MyApp.Internal*" />
    <ExcludeNamespace Namespace="MyApp.Tests*" />
</ItemGroup>

CLI

Pass one or more --exclude-type and/or --exclude-namespace flags:

proxygenerator assembly.dll output-path \
  --exclude-type=MyApp.Internal.SecretPayload \
  --exclude-namespace=MyApp.Tests*
