NuGet Extensions

This is primarily npm link for the C# ecosystem. See the project readme for specific details.

Note: This is an alpha version. Please see the GitHub repository for issue tracking. Don't hesitate to comment on what is important to you.

Requirements

The extension farms out to both nuget and dotnet, so they must be in your path and runnable.

Features and Usage

Open the command pallette and register NuGet packages to be locally linked (similar to npm link).

Next, link your code to local builds of your NuGet dependencies for the purpose of viewing source and debugging.

Finally, short circuit your downstream build process if you're building API and binary compatible changes. Watch will start a file watching task. When the build output of linked packages changes, those packages will be re-installed and optionally injected into your application.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• NuGet Extensions.defaultShortCircuitPaths: When set, running Watch will turn on short circuiting to these paths, comma separated.
