About

Contains some basic tools shared by many Woof Toolkit packages.

  1. ApiResolver A static class used to load implementations from other referenced modules that are optional for the package.
  2. Executable A static class providing information about the current executable file, including its location and file name.

This dependency is made not to repeat the same blocks of code in packages that often are used together.

Typical usage scenario: The Woof.DataProtection can be used with Woof.DataProtection.Linux but the Linux package is not a dependency of Woof.DataProtection. However, when both packages are included in the project, the Woof.DataProtection DP module will properly initialize the Linux module.

In order to do so it uses the ApiResolver class.

Many packages use access to file paths relative to the main executable file. They also use application executable name, with or without extension. In order to make it simple, the Executable class exists.

It is important that the Assembly.Location property does not work with builds published as a single file. The Executable class solves this problem.

It doesn't do much, but it replaces really next to impossible to remember invocations with simple, obvious names that doesn't require refering to documentation each time the property is needed.

Woof Toolkit is focussed on compact IoT apps inteneded to be built as single files. On Linux their configuratons are placed in the same directory, just with specific extensions. So the main executable term is occuring in the Toolkit quite often.

Configuration files in the same directory as the main executable is a very basic and default concept. Of course the location can be changed, but the default, the simplest option is this.

BTW, main executable directory and the current directory are not the same things. They are usually equal to each other, but it is not always the case.

Usage

See the XML documentation provided in sources.

Disclaimer

Woof Toolkit is a work in progress in constant development, however it's carefully maintained with production code quality.
