Exporting
General exports
Slipe supports exporting static methods as MTA exports. In order to do this you use the Export
Attribute.
[Export("ExportSample")]
public static void DoTheThing(string x) {
Console.WriteLine("Export has been called with parameter {0}", x);
}
The parameter you pass to the Export
attribute defines the name you can call the export with. In the above example that would be
exports.slipecore:ExportSample("hey")
If you omit the name from the attribute the fully qualified name of the method is used, with the dots (.
) removed. For example:
namespace Foo
{
public class Bar
{
[Export]
public void Exporty()
{
}
}
}
exports.slipecore:FooBarExporty()
When adding a new export to your project use the -exports
option in your compile command. For example:
slipe compile -exports
Http exports
The Export
attribute also has a boolean HTTP parameter, use this to mark a method to be HTTP callable.
[Export("HttpCallableMethod", true)]
public void SomeMethod()
{
}
Exports with element parameters
When you want to accept an element in your export parameters you need to use Slipe's MtaElement
class, not the Element
class. You can get the Element
from this MtaElement
using
(Slipe.Shared.Elements.Element)mtaElement;
