Linker Plugin

A linker plugin is responsible for connecting the models loaded by the loader plugins by adding links in ScriptBee's Context.

Manifest

An example can be seen below:

Linker Interface

Each linker must implement the IModelLinker interface.

It receives the entire context to modify it and add links between the models.

public interface IModelLinker : IPlugin
{
    public Task LinkModel(Dictionary<Tuple<string, string>, Dictionary<string, ScriptBeeModel>> context,
        Dictionary<string, object>? configuration = default, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

    public string GetName();
}

• LinkModel: Receives the entire context to modify it and add links between the models.
• GetName: Returns the name of the plugin
