How to create a NuGet Package using NuGet.Core?

Question

I would like to create a application which makes use of the NuGet Package NuGet.Core. It has a class called PackageBuilder that makes it possible. Is there any sample / tutorial / documentation available?

Answer 1

A really simple example:

1. create a folder containing the files you want in your package.

2. Write some code like this:

   
   ManifestMetadata metadata = new ManifestMetadata()
       {
           Authors = "mauvo",
           Version = "1.0.0.0",
           Id =  "myPackageIdentifier",
           Description = "A description",
       };
   
   PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
   builder.PopulateFiles("folderPath/", new[] {new ManifestFile() {Source = "**"}});
   builder.Populate(metadata);
   using(FileStream stream = File.Open(packagePath, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
   {
       builder.Save(stream);
   }
