Jiro.Commands

A flexible command and plugin framework for Jiro

Jiro.Commands provides a robust, extensible system for building plugins and runtime commands for the Jiro platform. It enables modular development, dynamic feature loading, and a clean separation of concerns for your application.

---

Features

• Plugin Management: Standardized loading/unloading of plugins at runtime.
• Runtime Command Creation: Add new commands without rebuilding or redeploying your app.
• Dependency Injection: Full support for DI in commands and plugins.
• Custom Controllers: Easily extend your API surface with plugin controllers.
• Strong Typing & Parsing: Type-safe command parameters and extensible parsing.
• XML Documentation: All public APIs are fully documented for IntelliSense and doc generation.

Getting Started

Installation

Install via NuGet Package Manager:

dotnet add package Jiro.Commands

Or via Package Manager Console:

Install-Package Jiro.Commands

---

Plugin Development

Create a plugin by implementing the IPlugin interface:

public class PluginMain : IPlugin
{
    public string PluginName { get; } = "PluginMain";

    // Optional: Register configuration files
    public void RegisterAppConfigs(ConfigurationManager builder)
        => builder.AddJsonFile("example.config.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);

    // Optional: Register middleware
    public void RegisterAppExtensions(IApplicationBuilder app)
        => app.UsePluginMiddleware();

    // Required: Register services
    public void RegisterServices(IServiceCollection services)
        => services.AddScoped<IPluginService, PluginService>();
}

Plugin requirements:

• Implement IPlugin.
• Provide a unique PluginName.
• Register any services, configs, or middleware as needed.

---

Custom Controllers

Extend the API by inheriting from BaseController:

public class PluginController : BaseController
{
    [HttpGet("PluginTest")]
    public IActionResult PluginTest() => Ok("Plugin Controller Executed");
}

---

Custom Commands

Define commands by using attributes and implementing ICommandBase:

[CommandModule("PluginCommand")]
public class PluginCommand : ICommandBase
{
    private readonly IPluginService _pluginService;
    public PluginCommand(IPluginService pluginService) => _pluginService = pluginService;

    [Command("PluginTest", commandSyntax: "PluginTest", commandDescription: "Tests plugin command")]
    public async Task<ICommandResult> PluginTest()
    {
        _pluginService.ServiceTest();
        await Task.Delay(1000);
        return TextResult.Create("Plugin Command Executed");
    }
}

Command requirements:

• Class must have [CommandModule] attribute.
• Class must implement ICommandBase.
• Command methods must have [Command] attribute (with at least a name).
• Command methods must return Task<ICommandResult>.
• Use TextResult.Create, ImageResult.Create, JsonResult.Create, or GraphResult.Create for results.

API Reference

• All public APIs are documented with XML comments.
• See the source code for detailed usage and extension points.
