Adding Root Folders Programatically

By default, uSync will build the collection of folders it uses to import/export items from the appsettings.

The default folders are:

• uSync/roots
• uSync/version (e.g v16)

You can add to these folders in the [appsettings.json] file, but you can also include folders programatically by having a public class implement the ISyncFolder interface in your code.

public interface ISyncFolder
{
   /// <summary>
   ///  path to the folder we want to use.
   /// </summary>
   string Path { get; }

   /// <summary>
   ///  weight in the list.
   /// </summary>
   int Weight { get; }
}

For example:

public class TestSyncFolder: ISyncFolder
{
    public string Path => "uSync/Test";
    public int Weight => 100;
}

uSync will load these ISyncFolder classes at start up and order them based on the weight.

The configured folders are loaded with a default weighting and gap of 1000.

For example, with the default config, and the sample TestSyncFolder class above, the folders would be wieghted as below:

Folder	Source	Weight
uSync/root	config	0
uSync/test	code	100
uSync/v16	config	1000

uSync will import from the collection of folders.

Depending on the configuration, the files will be combined or overwritten and a final virtual 'combined' folder will be used for imports.
