The ChilliCream.Nitro meta-package ships with a Roslyn source generator that simplifies Nitro integration setup. It provides compile-time warnings when required packages are missing and generates an AddDefaults() extension method that wires everything up in a single call.

Compile-time warnings

If your project references HotChocolate or Fusion but is missing the corresponding Nitro integration package, you get a compile-time warning:

Generated AddDefaults() extension method

When the correct integration package is referenced, the generator emits an AddDefaults() extension method on INitroBuilder. This method wires up the default Nitro integration with the GraphQL pipeline in a single call.

builder.Services
    .AddNitro(options =>
    {
        options.ApiId = "my-api";
        options.ApiKey = "my-key";
        options.Stage = "production";
    })
    .AddDefaults();

You can still customize per-schema options by calling ModifyNitroOptions() on the builder afterwards:

builder.Services
    .AddNitro(options =>
    {
        options.ApiId = "my-api";
        options.ApiKey = "my-key";
    })
    .AddDefaults();

builder.Services
    .AddGraphQLServer()
    .AddQueryType<Query>()
    .ModifyNitroOptions(options =>
    {
        options.PersistedOperations.Enabled = true;
        options.Metrics.Enabled = true;
    });

Troubleshooting

If AddDefaults() does not appear in IntelliSense:

1. Verify that ChilliCream.Nitro is referenced (this is the meta-package containing the source generator).
2. Verify that the matching integration package is referenced (ChilliCream.Nitro.HotChocolate for HotChocolate projects, ChilliCream.Nitro.Fusion for Fusion projects).
3. Rebuild the project so the source generator can run.

If you cannot use the source generator, call the explicit method instead: .AddHotChocolate() or .AddFusion() on the INitroBuilder.
