MEF with MVC 4 or 5 – Pluggable Architecture (2014)

September 1, 2022 by Magenaut

I am trying to build a MVC4/MVC5 application with a pluggable architecture like Orchard CMS. So I have a MVC application which will be the startup project and take care of auth, navigation etc. Then there will be multiple modules built separately as asp.net class libraries or stripped down mvc projects and have controllers, views, data repos etc.

Is there a replacement for MEF in .NET Core (or ASP.NET 5)

We know that .NET Core (the open-source components) are only a subset of the full .NET Framework, and that ASP.NET 5 (and MVC 6) is built on .NET Core. Does this mean that Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is not available in ASP.NET 5?
