Getting Started

So how do I start?

Installation

Skylark is distributed via Microsofts package manager NuGet. We refer to this page for detailed descriptions on how to get started/use NuGet. Here is a link to the Skylark NuGet package.

Using NuGet

By Package Manager (PM):

Install-Package Skylark

By .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Skylark

As DLL

Simply place the Skylark DLL into your .NET project and add a reference to it. Please keep in mind that the .NET version of your solution must match with the runtime version of the Skylark DLL (currently compiled with .NET Standard 2.0 & 2.1).

3. Add the following code to Program.cs

using Skylark.Standard.Extension.Url;

    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            string Encode = UrlExtension.Encode(Url);
            Console.WriteLine(Encode);

            string Decode = UrlExtension.Decode(Encode);
            Console.WriteLine(Decode);
        }
