Extension settings

An extension integrated into main application consists not only of a DLL but also a JSON file that contains a description of the library.

Description of the library as a container for multiple extensions

List of fields:

• name;
• description;
• module_path. Each of these fields appears in the IExtensionLibraryInfo interface.

Description of each extension separately

List of extensions is a JsonArray, where each extension is described in separate JsonObject. This JsonObject contains only one key - unique identifier of entry point. Value is a JsonObject with fields:

• id;
• name.

There may also be additional properties (configuration settings) required for a specific entry point.

The ID must be unique among all other extensions, so it is recommended to use a prefix in the name to ensure this uniqueness.

Example

{
    "name": "Library for empty extension",
    "description": "Library for empty extension",
    "module_path": "${extensionJsonFolder}/ExtensionEmpty.dll",
    "extensions": [
        {
            "utility": {
                "id": "Extension.Utility.Empty",
                "name": "Empty extension"
            }
        }
    ]
}
