How to create a NuGet Package using NuGet.Core?

I would like to create a application which makes use of the NuGet Package NuGet.Core. It has a class called PackageBuilder that makes it possible. Is there any sample / tutorial / documentation available?

An improved example based on David's code. Changes:

  • All files in a folder except *.nuspec are added to package.

  • A row defining package file name.

    ManifestMetadata metadata = new ManifestMetadata()
{
    Authors = "mauvo",
    Version = "1.0.0.0",
    Id =  "myPackageIdentifier",
    Description = "A description",
};

PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
var files = Directory.GetFiles(packagePath, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
    .Where(f => !f.EndsWith(".nuspec"))
    .Select(f => new ManifestFile { Source = f, Target = f.Replace(path, "") })
    .ToList();
builder.PopulateFiles("", files);
builder.Populate(metadata);
string packageFile = Path.Combine(packagePath, builder.GetFullName()) + ".nupkg";
using(FileStream stream = File.Open(packageFile, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{
    builder.Save(stream);
}

A really simple example:

  1. create a folder containing the files you want in your package.

  2. Write some code like this:

    
ManifestMetadata metadata = new ManifestMetadata()
    {
        Authors = "mauvo",
        Version = "1.0.0.0",
        Id =  "myPackageIdentifier",
        Description = "A description",
    };

PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
builder.PopulateFiles("folderPath/", new[] {new ManifestFile() {Source = "**"}});
builder.Populate(metadata);
using(FileStream stream = File.Open(packagePath, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{
    builder.Save(stream);
}
