Getting started

A package is a normal .NET console app that references OrbitMesh.Common and implements IPackage. PackageHost.Start<T> owns the connection lifecycle - your code just reacts to it.

csharp

using OrbitMesh.Package;

public static class Program
{
    private static void Main(string[] args) => PackageHost.Start<DayInfoPackage>(args);
}

public sealed class DayInfoPackage : IPackage
{
    public void OnStart()
    {
        // Runs once the package is up. Kick off background work here.
    }

    public void OnPreShutdown()
    {
        // Signalled just before shutdown - stop accepting new work.
    }

    public void OnShutdown()
    {
        // Final cleanup.
    }

    [MessageHandler(Description = "Example RPC-style call exposed to other packages/the Console.")]
    public string Ping() => "pong";
}

IPackage is three methods: OnStart, OnPreShutdown, OnShutdown. Everything else - settings, telemetry, messages, logging - goes through the static PackageHost class.
