Shale

Shale is a thin but opinionated abstraction layer over Nate McMaster's excellent DotNetCorePlugins. That library is doing all the hard work of loading the assemblies and types, Shale just provides a slightly easier (and in my opinion, friendlier) reusable API for adding plugin support to your own applications.

Building

Building Shale locally should be pretty simple. Ensure you have the .NET 8 SDK installed, and dotnet available in your PATH.

First, restore required build tools:

dotnet tool restore

Now you can run a build with the Cake script in the repo:

dotnet cake
# or to build all artifacts
dotnet cake --target=Publish

This will build all the component projects and (assuming you used the Publish target) create all relevant build artifacts in the dist/ folder.
