cppps

The cppps library provides a C++17 plugin system that uses directed graphs to automatically build and analyze dependency trees.

The motivation was to provide a library facilitating the creation of modular monoliths. It's a helper library used in the main (assembly) component to dynamically load modules and track dependencies based on the functionality provided rather than its origins. In other words, you can remove and add plugins without referring to specific files as long as the required services are provided.

None of your functional code should depend on the plugin loader. cppps was designed to be used at the component assembly level, and its classes are meant to help you attach your libraries to the main application using small adapters. Use it as a tool that makes it easier to follow SOLID guidelines and implement design patterns with loose coupling.
