Implementing Adapter Interfaces

There are two main components that make up a ShipExec adapter, the configuration interface, and the adapter interface. All adapters must implement the configuration interface in order to function, however multiple adapters can use the same configuration interface.

See IAdapterConfigurationProvider for an example implementation of the Adapter Configuration Provider
