Introduction

Avalanche.Module introduces a plugin architecture with following capabilities:

• Exporting features
• Importing features
• Feature installer
• Module dependencies

Interoperability with (by feature installer):

• Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
• Microsoft.Extensions.HostBuilder
• Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
• Google.Protobuf any types
• Godot.Node
• Avalanche.Service

Module is a singular unit that exports a feature. Module may install to several locations in application container, e.g. configuration, localization, gui, scene or dom tree.

Any class can operate as a module.

public class Module
{
    public static Module Instance { get; } = new ();

    // .. features are exported as fields ..
    // .. pre- and post- install actions are also fields ..
    // .. exporting doesn't need any assembly dependency ..
}

Features are exported in different ways:

• [Export<T>] attribute
• [ServiceDescriptor<T>] attribute
• [AnyType] attribute
• As fields in Module class

Class libraries:

• Avalanche.Module.dll contains implementations.
• Avalanche.Module.Abstractions.dll contains interfaces.
