 In the case that you need to use a build system or tool that is not supported by Conan
 off-the-shelf, you could create your own custom integrations using a custom generator.

 Custom generators as python_requires

+
+A direct dependency tool requires can also be used to provide custom generators.
+The following example shows how to create a custom generator that generates a file with the
+dependencies of the package, just like the example above, but using a ``tool_require`` instead of a ``python_require``
+to inject the generator into the recipe, by adding them to the ``self.generators_info`` list inside the ``package_info`` method.

+

+        def __init__(self, conanfile):

+        version = "1.0"
+
+        def package_info(self):
+            self.generators_info.append(MyGenerator)
+
+And then having a ``tool_requires`` in your recipe for the ``mygenerator-tool`` package will automatically
+inject the generator into the recipe.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Note that built-in generators can also be injected using tool_requires,
+    by adding them by name: ``self.generators_info.append("CMakeDeps")``.
+    ``tool_require``ing this package will inject the ``CMakeDeps`` generator into the recipe
+    just as if it was declared in its ``generators`` attribute.
