<Extension()>
Public Function CreatePluginFromPromptDirectory (kernel As Kernel, pluginDirectory As String, Optional pluginName As String = Nothing, Optional promptTemplateFactory As IPromptTemplateFactory = Nothing) As KernelPlugin

Parameters

kernel: Kernel

The Kernel containing services, plugins, and other state for use throughout the operation.

pluginDirectory: String

Path to the directory containing the plugin.

pluginName: String

The name of the plugin. If null, the name is derived from the pluginDirectory directory name.

promptTemplateFactory: IPromptTemplateFactory

The IPromptTemplateFactory to use when interpreting discovered prompts into IPromptTemplates. If null, a default factory will be used.

Returns

KernelPlugin

A KernelPlugin containing prompt functions created from the specified directory.

Remarks

A plugin directory contains a set of subdirectories, one for each function in the form of a prompt. This method accepts the path of the plugin directory. Each subdirectory's name is used as the function name and may contain only alphanumeric chars and underscores.

The following directory structure, with pluginDirectory = "D:\plugins\OfficePlugin",
will create a plugin with three functions:
D:\plugins\
    |__ OfficePlugin\                 # pluginDirectory
        |__ ScheduleMeeting           #   function directory
            |__ skprompt.txt          #     prompt template
            |__ config.json           #     settings (optional file)
        |__ SummarizeEmailThread      #   function directory
            |__ skprompt.txt          #     prompt template
            |__ config.json           #     settings (optional file)
        |__ MergeWordAndExcelDocs     #   function directory
            |__ skprompt.txt          #     prompt template
            |__ config.json           #     settings (optional file)
