To start developing your feature, you need to add a new feature class. So add a class in the folder of your feature (for the folder structure, see here folder structure). After that, add the following methods to the class and make it a subclass of MoonlightFeature. Also, don't forget to modify the constructor.
public class DummyFeature : MoonlightFeature
{
public DummyFeature()
{
Name = "Dummy";
Author = "MasuOwO";
IssueTracker = "your issue tracker url";
}
public override async Task OnPreInitialized(PreInitContext context)
{
}
public override async Task OnInitialized(InitContext context)
{
}
public override async Task OnUiInitialized(UiInitContext context)
{
}
}
Features have three different stages of initialization
In this stage, services should be added to the service collection and the Kestrel web server config if needed. The context object passed into the OnPreInitialized function, which you need to override in order to process it, you have two objects. One is the WebApplicationBuilder which can be used to configure services, and the asp.net Kestrel web server. The other is a list of assemblies which will be scanned for services (for more information, see [[dependencyInjection]] ). You should not modify this list at all as it may break other features and/or moonlight's core
This stage is invoked after the web application has been built and the service collection has been constructed. The context object of this handler which is passed into the OnInitialized method contains the WebApplication object. With this object, you are able to load services from the dependency injection, configure the mapping, and more Kestrel options
The third and last main feature stage is the UI init stage. In this stage, you can enable the Blazor page routing and add sidebar items using the provided UiInitContext in the OnUiInitialized.
To enable the page routing, just add the following method call in the OnUiInitialized method.
context.EnablePages<YourFeatureClass>();
YourFeatureClass is the name of the class defining the feature.
To add a sidebar item, just add the following call to the OnUiInitialized method:
context.AddSidebarItem("Dashboard", "bxs-dashboard", "/admin", needsExactMatch: true, isAdmin: true, index: 10324);
