Issue details

To simplify Component Provider authoring, we want to get rid of the requirement to author schema files manually. The idea is to provide utility functions that, when pointed at a C# project, can locate all classes that derive from ComponentResource and infer their schema with reflection. We want a C# function that accepts an assembly (calling assembly by default) and returns a JSON-serializable representation of the full Pulumi schema. It should work for multiple component resources located in the same project.

Component inputs and outputs are derived from the Args class properties and Output properties of the component. Auxiliary types must be supported.

A prototype of this feature is available in #453
