Part 10: Plugin System Architecture - Extensibility by Design

Part 10: Plugin System Architecture - Extensibility by Design

Short summary

Vyshyvanka's plugin system uses .NET AssemblyLoadContext for isolated, collectible plugin loading with hot-unload support. Plugins are discovered via [Plugin] attributes, configured through reflection-based [ConfigurationProperty] decorators, and managed through a NuGet package system. This enables safe runtime extensibility without touching core code.

  • AssemblyLoadContext isolation prevents version conflicts and enables hot-unload
  • Reflection-based [ConfigurationProperty] attributes auto-generate UI schemas without frontend code
  • NuGet-based package management enables version control and private feed support
