Create your project

So firstly, you need to create a new Console Application in Visual Studio. The language (Visual Basic or C#) doesn’t matter, but the following examples will be written in C#.

Then, you should add PlasticMetal.MobileSuit to your project(How?).

Write the MobileSuit Client class

Create the class

Add a Class to your project, named Client. It inherits class PlasticMetal.MobileSuit.ObjectModel.SuitClient.

Add the first command

Add a method called Hello to class Client. It has no parameters and return value.

The content of method can be anything you like. You can use IO.WriteLine and IO.ReadLine instead of Console.WriteLine and Console.ReadLine.

Add information and Alias for the first command

Add custom attributes to the method:

1. PlasticMetal.MobileSuit.ObjectModel.Attributes.SuitInfo with argument “hello command.”
2. PlasticMetal.MobileSuit.ObjectModel.Attributes.SuitAlias with argument “H”

Add another command

Add a method called Bye to class Client. It has a string parameter, named name. It returns a string.

The content of method can be anything you like. You can use Io.WriteLine and Io.ReadLine instead of Console.WriteLine and Console.ReadLine.

Check your code for Client.cs

It may looks like:

using PlasticMetal.MobileSuit.ObjectModel;
using PlasticMetal.MobileSuit.ObjectModel.Attributes;

namespace MobileSuitDemo
{
    public class Client : SuitClient
    {
        [SuitAlias("H")]
        [SuitInfo("hello command.")]
        public void Hello()
        {
            IO.WriteLine("Hello! MobileSuit!");
        }

        public string Bye(string name)
        {
            IO.WriteLine($"Bye! {name}");
            return "bye";
        }
    }
}

Update Program class

Add the following code to the Main() method:

1

new PlasticMetal.MobileSuit.SuitHost(new Client()).Run();

Run and test your Application

Build and run your application.

In the console, you may input:

1. Help to see help for MobileSuit
2. List or ls to see all available commands for current client.
3. Hello or h to run Client.Hello()
4. Bye name to run Client.Bye( name )
5. Exit to exit the progress

The process of build such a app is so easy that you just need one class to write.
