+
+## Redistributable libraries
+
+Extension libraries are based on the standard Angular libraries and definition files in the JSON format.
+
+<p class="tip">
+Please read more details in the following article: [Library support in Angular CLI 6](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/stories-create-library#library-support-in-angular-cli-6)
+</p>
+
+### Creating extension library
+
+First, generate a new project within the workspace:
+
+```sh
+ng generate library my-extension
+```
+
+You will get a new project in the `projects/my-extensions` folder.
+By default, the project contains at least the following content:
+
+* Example component `my-extension.component.ts`
+* Example service `my-extension.service.ts`
+* Angular Module example `my-extension.module.ts`
+
+Next, build the project with the following command:
+
+```sh
+ng build my-extension
+```
+
+Angular CLI automatically configures Typescript path mappings for the project,
+so that you do not need any additional steps to link the library.
+
+#### Register dynamic components
+
+Update `my-extension.module.ts` and put all the content you plan to use at runtime dynamically to the `entryComponents` section of the module.
+
+```typescript
+@NgModule({
+  imports: [],
+  declarations: [MyExtensionComponent],
+  exports: [MyExtensionComponent],
+  entryComponents: [MyExtensionComponent]
+})
+export class MyExtensionModule { }
+```
+
+Let's now register `MyExtensionComponent` as an extension component.
+Update the code as in the next example:
+
+```typescript
+import { ExtensionService } from '@alfresco/adf-extensions';
+
+@NgModule({...})
+export class MyExtensionModule {
+    constructor(extensions: ExtensionService) {
+        extensions.setComponents({
+            'my-extension.main.component': MyExtensionComponent,
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Now you can use `my-extension.main.component` identifier in the JSON definitions
+if you want to reference the `MyExtensionComponent`.
+
+#### Plugin definition file
+
+Create a new `assets/my-extension.json` file in the library project root folder with the following content:
+
+```json
+{
+    "$schema": "../../../extension.schema.json",
+    "$version": "1.0.0",
+    "$name": "plugin1",
+    "$description": "demo plugin",
+
+    "routes": [
+        {
+            "id": "my.extension.route",
+            "path": "ext/my/route",
+            "component": "my-extension.main.component"
+        }
+    ],
+
+    "features": {
+        "navbar": [
+            {
+                "id": "my.extension.nav",
+                "items": [
+                    {
+                        "id": "my.extension.main",
+                        "icon": "extension",
+                        "title": "My Extension",
+                        "route": "my.extension.route"
+                    }
+                ]
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Update the root `package.json` file and append the following entry to the `scripts` section:
+
+```json
+{
+    "scripts": {
+        ...,
+
+        "build:my-extension":
+            "ng build my-extension && cpr projects/my-extension/assets dist/my-extension/assets --deleteFirst"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+You can now use that script to build the library and copy assets to the output folder.
+
+<p class="tip">
+It is a good practice to provide installation instructions for your library in the `README.md` file.
+Be sure to mention that developers should have a build rule to copy your plugin definition file to the `assets/plugins` folder of the main application.
+</p>
+
+### Publishing library to NPM
+
+You should rebuild the library every time before publishing:
+
+```sh
+npm run build:my-extension
+```
+
+Go to the output folder and run the publish command.
+
+```sh
+cd dist/my-extension
+npm publish
+```
+
+Note that requires for you have a valid [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/) account.
+
+<p class="tip">
+See more details in the [Publishing your library](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/stories-create-library#publishing-your-library) article.
+</p>
+
+### Consuming extension library
+
+Assuming that you have published your extension library to NPM,
+you can install it using the standard command:
+
+```sh
+npm install my-extension
+```
+
+That should install the library and all its dependencies.
+
+<p class="warning">
+You do not need installing library in the original workspace as the application is
+already configured to use the local version from the `dist` folder.
+</p>
+
+#### Copy assets
+
+Edit `angular.json` configuration file and add the following rule if you develop and test extension library in the same workspace
+
+```json
+{
+    "glob": "**/*.json",
+    "input": "dist/my-extension/assets",
+    "output": "/assets/plugins"
+}
+```
+
+Use the following rule in case you are installing extension from NPM:
+
+```json
+{
+    "glob": "**/*.json",
+    "input": "node_modules/my-extension/assets",
+    "output": "/assets/plugins"
+}
+```
+
+#### Register module
+
+In the main application, edit the `src/app/extensions.module.ts` file and append the module declaration as in the next example:
+
+```typescript
+...
+import { MyExtensionModule } from 'my-extension';
+
+@NgModule({
+    ...
+    imports: [
+        ...,
+        MyExtensionModule
+    ]
+})
+export class AppExtensionsModule {}
+```
+
+#### Register plugin
+
+Finally, update the `assets/app.extensions.json` file and add a reference to the new plugin:
+
+```json
+{
+    "$references": [
+        ...,
+        "my-extension.json"
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### Testing library
+
+Run the application and ensure you have an extra navigation sidebar entry:
+
+```sh
+npm start
+```
+
+Click the `My Extension` link and in the main content area you should see the extension component coming from your library.
+
+<p class="warning">
+Depending on the application setup, you may need enabling external plugins via the `Settings` dialog available for `admin` users (clicking the application profile button).
