Addresses #837 by adding comprehensive documentation for customizing NSubstitute's auto value generation using the
NSubstituteDefaultFactory
configuration pattern.What this adds
This PR adds a new "Customizing auto values" section to the auto-and-recursive-mocks documentation that explains how to extend NSubstitute's behavior following the open/closed principle. The documentation was requested to make the valuable guidance from PR #705 discussion officially discoverable.
Key features documented
NSubstituteDefaultFactory.DefaultContainer.Customize()
to create a derived container.Decorate<T>()
to enhance existing implementations without replacing them[ModuleInitializer]
for early configurationExample usage
This enables scenarios like:
UniTask
support instead of standardTask
The documentation includes usage examples, key architectural concepts, and maintains consistency with NSubstitute's existing documentation style.
Note: This is purely documentation - no code changes to NSubstitute itself were needed as the API already existed.
