Where are DynamoAPI Docs? - Revisit

I noticed that the fuget.org link to the Dynamo API documentation appears to be dead. Would anyone happen to know if there’s a replacement coming or where to look for the time being?

For developing monocle, I’ve largely just spent a lot of time in the source code of dynamo on GitHub.

Is there anything you’re looking to do specifically?

Thanks John and yes, thank you for asking. I found something like this a while back and I was just curious to know how more of the DSCore stuff works.

For sure. So for anything like that I would typically search the source code and kind of reverse engineer from there. Pretty much anything that is public (at the beginning of the method name) will be callable this way.

              public static Type FindTypeByNameInAssembly(string typeName, string assemblyName)
              {
                  var found = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
                      .FirstOrDefault(x => x.GetName().Name == assemblyName);
          
                  if(found == null)
                      throw new Exception(string.Format("Could not find {0} in the loaded assemblies.", assemblyName));
          
                  var type = found.GetTypes().First(x => (x.Name == typeName && x.IsPublic == true));
          
                  if(type == null)
                      throw new Exception(string.Format("Could not find {0} in the loaded types.", typeName));
          
                  return type;
              }
          }

Thanks again John, that is super helpful. I will give that a shot. I appreciate your time.

For sure! Always glad to help out.

API Documentation is something on our mind within the team. I don’t have any ETA (I couldn’t provide a date if I had it anyway), but this is something we know that we need to work on.
