Features inheritance

[Trigve]

I would like to ask, if it would be possible to inherit the feature from the parent entities, when declaring the dirs/files. For instance, simplified example (the correct dirs/files are computed more complicated in real life):

...
new Dir(feat_postgres,
	"Sql",
	new Dir(new Id("postgres"),
		feat_postgres,
		"12",
		new Files(feat_postgres,
			@"src\sql\*.*"
		)
	)
),

As you can see, I need to add the same feature (feat_postgres) multiple times. What I would like to specifiy the feature in Dir entity only, and all children will ihnerit the feature.

It's problematic. Because DIR may have its own features that are not necessarily the same as the features of his children.

But you can definitely do this:

project.AllDirs
    .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id != "your dir ID")
    .Files
    .ForEach(x=>x.Feature = yourFeature);

project.BuildMsi();
