## What does the plugin do?

This library wraps up communication with `edge-js` and `alchemist` to make sure you can just go about creating c# code without worrying about the underlying tech.

When this plugin is loaded the following parts are registered:

- `PropertiesSection` (This component provides a simple way to manage properties of a class)
- `TypePicker` (This component provides a simple way to pick types)
- `TypeSection` (This component provides a simple way to manage sections of types)

- `CSharpCodeProcessor` (This processes C# code to make sure its formatted correctly)

## How do I use it?

If you are developing on top of the library then add the dependency to `@alchemist/dotnet`.

For using with alchemist application do the following plugin setup:

- Create a `dotnet` folder within alchemist `plugins` directory
- Put the `index.js` file and `dist_codegen` folder into the `dotnet` directory
- Run alchemist

The plugin should be picked up, but currently this is an infrastructure plugin used by other plugins such as EcsRx one.

## Blurb

This library is still very much a work in progress so the docs will be sparse and if you want to know more head on over to the discord channel.
