Extension patterns

This page covers the most common patterns used when extending the Neuron with custom packages.

Starting from the template

  1. Fork or copy the TemplatePackage
  2. Rename the solution, projects, namespaces, and manifest to match your package name
  3. Follow the naming convention COMPANY.CATEGORY.SERVICE[.SUBSERVICE]
  4. Update post-build events to point to your local folders
  5. Run the Neuron console host and verify your package appears in Software

Understanding modules

Neuron packages expose behavior through modules:
  • Find the service class implementing IModule or IConfigurableModule
  • Implement Start and Stop for lifecycle logic (register HTTP endpoints, timers, services, etc.)

Adding package content

  • Maintain the manifest file listing all assemblies and content files
  • Include only dependencies not already provided by the Neuron runtime

Fast edit loop for frontend content

For Markdown/script changes, add a FileFolder mapping in gateway.config pointing to your local source folder:
<FileFolder webFolder="/ExamplePackage"
            folderPath="C:\My Projects\NeuronExamplePackage\TAG.ExamplePackage\Root\ExamplePackage\" />
Restart the Neuron so changes are served live from disk. This avoids rebuilding for every frontend edit.

HTTP endpoints with the router

Use TAG.Networking.HttpRouter to expose HTTP endpoints from your package. It provides attribute-based controllers, route binding, and JSON serialization.

Documenting your package

  • Add a package info block (package name, installation key, links)
  • Add usage and configuration notes, settings pages, and runtime settings
  • Update the README and confirm a license is in place
  • Create a community post if it may be helpful to others
