NetPrints.Catalog

Type catalog engine and reader for the NetPrints node editor.

This package provides APIs for building, reading and loading type catalogs (*.npcat.json files). A type catalog describes the public surface of one or more assemblies: the types, their constructors, methods, properties and fields, the parameters and return types, and XML documentation summaries. A catalog describes an assembly's surface without loading it, and the NetPrints editor uses it in place of live enumeration for the assemblies it covers. Code that uses a library is still compiled against the real assembly, so the project must reference it.

Command-line tool

The netprints catalog command (part of NetPrints.Cli) builds catalogs from assemblies, NuGet packages or project references:

netprints catalog --assembly libs/MyLib.dll --output catalogs/mylib.npcat.json
netprints catalog --package Newtonsoft.Json@13.0.3 --exclude "*.Internal.*"
netprints catalog --assembly libs/MyLib.dll --format csharp --class-name MyLibCatalog --namespace MyCompany --output MyLibCatalog.g.cs

See the CLI guide for full documentation.

Loading catalogs

Use CatalogLoader to read catalogs from files or from assemblies that embed them:

// Load from a file
var catalog = CatalogLoader.LoadFile("mylib.npcat.json");

// Load embedded catalogs from a referenced assembly
var embedded = CatalogLoader.LoadEmbedded(typeof(MyClass).Assembly);

// Load from JSON string
var fromJson = CatalogLoader.LoadJson(jsonString);

Profiles

A profile controls which types and members a catalog includes:

public-api — every public type and member (the default).
annotated — only types and members marked with [NetPrintsType] and [NetPrintsNode] from NetPrints.Annotations.

Custom profiles are JSON files (.npprofile.json) that define inclusion and exclusion rules.
