Getting Started

Reference Navz.PluginCore.dll to your client project

  1. Create your first plugin interface and base it to IPluginBase:

        public interface ICommandPlugin : IPluginBase
    {
        int Execute();
    }

  2. Initialize the pluginHost with the locations of plugins to enable the loader to find the assemblies:

    var pluginHost = new PluginHost("Plugins", new List<PluginSettings> {
    new PluginSettings {
        ProjectName = "<PluginFolderName>",
        DllName = "<PluginDllName>"
    }
});

    or using json

    IConfiguration configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
.AddJsonFile("plugins.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true)
.Build();

var pluginHost = new PluginHost(configuration);

    plugin.json

    {
    "PluginConfiguration": {
        "RootPath": "Plugins",
        "Plugins": [
        {
            "ProjectName": "<PluginFolderName>",
            "DllName": "<PluginDllName>"
        }
        ]
    }
}

  3. Load the plugins using the pluginHost:

    var commandPlugins = pluginHost.LoadPlugins<ICommandPlugin>();

foreach (var commandPlugin in commandPlugins)
{
    await commandPlugin.Execute();
}

  4. Creating the Plugin:

    public class HelloWorldPlugin : CommandPlugin
{
    public override string Name => "HelloWorld";

    public override string Description => "Displays \"Hello World\" message.";

    public override async Task<int> Execute()
    {
        await Task.Run(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"));

        return 0;
    }
}
