Examples

If you are looking for examples on how to develop for Dynamo, take a look at these resources below:
Sample Repositories
These samples are Visual Studio templates that you can use to start your own project:
​ZeroTouchEssentials: Template for basic ZeroTouch nodes.
Return multiple outputs: Code​
Use a native geometry object from Dynamo: Code​
Example property (Query node): Code​
​HelloDynamo: Templates for basic NodeModel nodes and view customization.
Basic NodeModel template: HelloNodeModel.cs​
Define node attributes (Input/output names, descriptions, types): Code​
Return null node if there are no inputs: Code​
Create a function call: Code​
Basic NodeModel view customization template: HelloGui.cs, HelloGuiNodeView.cs, Slider.xaml, Slider.xaml.cs​
Alert the UI that an element needs to update: Code​
Customize the NodeModel: Code​
Define slider attributes: Code​
Determine interaction logic for the slider: Code​
​DynamoSamples: Templates for ZeroTouch, custom UI, tests, and view extensions.
​UI samples​
Create a basic, custom UI node: CustomNodeModel.cs​
Create a drop-down menu: DropDown.cs​
​Tests​
System tests: HelloDynamoSystemTests.cs​
ZeroTouch tests: HelloDynamoZeroTouchTests.cs​
​ZeroTouch examples:
Example ZeroTouch nodes, including one that implements IGraphicItem to affect geometry rendering: BasicExample.cs​

Case Studies
Third party developers have made significant and exciting contributions to the platform, many of which are open source as well. The following projects are exceptional examples of what can be done with Dynamo.
Ladybug is a Python library to load, analyze and modify EneregyPlus Weather files (epw).
