This section documents Specular’s public API surface: the interface your code calls, the attributes that control what gets scanned, and the fluent filters that shape selector expressions. Everything here is a stable contract — the runtime package (Specular) is intentionally tiny, and almost all of the work happens in the source generator.

Note

Specular’s public API surface is intentionally minimal — see each page below for the stable contracts.

Pages Stable

• ISpecularProvider — the generated entry point, accessed via the static SpecularProvider.Instance singleton. Exposes GetAssemblies, GetTypes, and Scan.
• ServiceRegistrationAttribute — declaratively mark a type for dependency-injection registration with a chosen lifetime.
• ExcludeFromSpecularAttribute — opt a type out of scanning so the generator skips it.
• Type Filters — the fluent selector methods (AddClasses, AsImplementedInterfaces, namespace and attribute filters, and more) used to build a scan.
