Publishing to ArupCompute

You can publish new libraries either with an easy web based wizard or manually via an API. You can follow similar steps to publish a new version of a library you have published previously.

Recompiling​

Before publishing remember to recompile your code.

dotnet core / VS Code​

Run the command dotnet publish

Visual Studio​

Either use the menu Build > Build Solution or press F6

Library Zip File​

To publish a new library/version you first need a library zip file.

You can create one by putting all your dlls and dependencies in a zip file without any top level folder:

Remember to include all reference .dlls including the ArupCompute ones

Using the Web UI​

Wizard​

Then simply use the new web base wizard to publish it:

Library

tip

If you have been following the VS Code / dotnet core guidance, then here you should choose .NET Core

The Slug field is a unique string that identifies your library, currently it's only being used internally, but in the future it might be used to generate the URLs to your calculations.

The Version field enforces semantic versioning, you can add a suffix like "-beta" if publishing a pre-release.

IMPORTANT

The upload process might take up to a few minutes! Don't despair!

Once the upload finishes, if everything was process successfully you'll see the new library appear in a few minutes. If it doesn't happen let us know!
