LanMountainDesktop.AirAppSdk

Official AirApp (Lightweight Application) SDK for LanMountainDesktop.

AirApp is the unified extension system for LanMountainDesktop. Developers use this SDK to build desktop components (rendered in the host process on the desktop grid) and window AirApps (hosted in the isolated AirAppHost process).

Includes

• IAirApp / AirAppBase entry abstractions with [AirAppEntrance]
• IAirAppWorker / AirAppWorkerBase worker-side entry abstractions for isolated background mode
• AirAppManifest (airapp.json) and shared contract declarations
• runtime.mode manifest support for in-process, isolated-background, and isolated-window
• Desktop component registration (AddAirAppComponent<TControl>) and window registration (AddAirAppWindow<TWindow>)
• Declarative and custom settings sections (AddAirAppSettingsSection)
• Runtime context, appearance, settings, message bus, logger and host service abstractions
• Build-transitive packaging targets for .laapp output

Quick Start

Install the template and create an AirApp project:

dotnet new install LanMountainDesktop.AirAppTemplate
dotnet new lmd-airapp -n MyAirApp

Or reference the package directly:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="LanMountainDesktop.AirAppSdk" Version="1.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Create airapp.json in your AirApp project root, then run dotnet build to produce both build output and a .laapp package. Install the .laapp package into LanMountainDesktop to load your AirApp.
