============
|
||||
|
||||
Library Configuration File
|
||||
Libraries are defined by a manifest file ``library.json``. This is a
|
||||
`JSON-style <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON>`_ file. Any data in
|
||||
``library.json`` should be represented via
|
||||
`associative array <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array>`_
|
||||
(name/value pairs). An order doesn't make a sense.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
The filling of this page is currently in progress...
|
||||
The allowable fields (names from pairs) are described below. The fields
|
||||
(:ref:`libjson_name`, :ref:`libjson_description` and :ref:`libjson_keywords`)
|
||||
will be displayed in search/lookup results on the :ref:`cmd_lib_search`
|
||||
(*CLI*) and the *WebSite* that can be used to search for libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
For more detailed information please go to
|
||||
`GitHub Issue #6 <https://github.com/ivankravets/platformio/issues/6>`_.

**Required** | Type: ``String`` | Max. Length: 50
|
||||
|
||||
The name of the library.
|
||||
|
||||
* Must be unique.
|
||||
* Should be slug style for simplicity, consistency and compatibility.
|
||||
Example: Arduino-SPI
|
||||
* Title Case, Aa-z, can contain digits, can contain dash (but not start/end
|
||||
with them).
|
||||
* Consecutive dashes are not allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
**Required** | Type: ``String`` | Max. Length: 255
|
||||
|
||||
Help users identify and search for your library with a brief description.
|
||||
Describe the hardware devices (sensors, boards and etc.) which are suitable
|
||||
with it.
|
||||
|

start/end with them). A list from keywords can be specified with
|
||||
separator ``,``.
|
||||
|
||||
Used for search by keyword. Helps make your library easier to discover without
|
||||
people needing to know its name.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _libjson_version:
|
||||
|
||||
``version``
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
*Required* if :ref:`libjson_repository` field is not defined | Type: ``String``
|
||||
| Max. Length: 20
|
||||
|
||||
The version of the current library source code.
|
||||
|
||||
* Can contain a-z, digits, dots and dash.
|
||||
* `Semantic Versioning <http://semver.org>`_ is recommended.
|
||||
* A `CVS <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System>`_
|
||||
revision from the latest commit. Example: ``13`` (*SVN*) or first 10
|
||||
chars of *SHA* digest ``e4564b7da4`` (*Git*).
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
You can omit :ref:`libjson_version` field and define
|
||||
:ref:`libjson_repository` field. In this situation
|
||||
*PlatformIO-API Crawler* will use the CVS-revision from the latest commit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _libjson_author:
|
||||
|
||||
``author``
|
||||

*Required* if :ref:`libjson_repository` field is not defined | Type: ``Object``
|
||||
|
||||
An author's contact information
|
||||
|
||||
* ``name`` Full name (**Required**)
|
||||
* ``email``
|
||||
* ``url`` An author's contact page
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: javascript
|
||||
|
||||
"author":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "John Smith",
|
||||
"email": "me@john-smith.com",
|
||||
"url": "http://www.john-smith/contact"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
You can omit :ref:`libjson_author` field and define
|
||||
:ref:`libjson_repository` field. Only *GitHub-based* repository is
|
||||
supported now. In this situation
|
||||
*PlatformIO-API Crawler* will use information from
|
||||
`GitHub API Users <https://developer.github.com/v3/users/>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _libjson_repository:
|
||||
|
||||
``repository``
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
*Required* if :ref:`libjson_downloadurl` field is not defined | Type: ``Object``
|
||||
|
||||
The repository in which the source code can be found.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: javascript
|
||||
|
||||
"repository":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "git",
|
||||
"url": "https://github.com/foo/bar.git"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _libjson_downloadurl:
|
||||
|
||||
``downloadUrl``
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
*Required* if :ref:`libjson_repository` field is not defined | Type: ``String``
|
||||
|
||||
The *HTTP URL* to archived source code of library. It should end with the type
|
||||
of archive (``.zip`` or ``.tar.gz``).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. _libjson_include:
|
||||
|
||||
``include``
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
*Optional* | Type: ``String`` or ``Array`` |
|
||||
`Glob Pattern <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)>`_
|
||||
|
||||
If :ref:`libjson_include` field is a type of ``String``, then
|
||||
*PlatformIO-API Crawler* will recognize it like a "relative path inside
|
||||
repository/archive to library source code". See example below where only
|
||||
source code from the relative directory ``LibrarySourceCodeHere`` will be
|
||||
included.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: javascript
|
||||
|
||||
"include": "some/child/dir/LibrarySourceCodeHere"
|
||||
|
||||
If :ref:`libjson_include` field is a type of ``Array``, then
|
||||
*PlatformIO-API Crawler* firstly will apply :ref:`libjson_exclude` filter and
|
||||
then include only directories/files which match with :ref:`libjson_include`
|
||||
patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: javascript
|
||||
|
||||
"include":
|
||||
[
|
||||
"dir/*.[ch]pp",
|
||||
"dir/examples/*",
|
||||
"*/*/*.h"
|
||||
]

Exclude the directories and files which will match with :ref:`libjson_exclude`
|
||||
patterns.

Library Manager
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
*"The missing libraries manager for embedded platforms"*, - inspired by
|
||||
`npm <https://www.npmjs.org>`_ and `bower <http://bower.io>`_ package managers
|
||||
for web.
|
||||
|
||||
*PlatformIO Library Manager* allows you to organize external embedded libraries.
|
||||
You can search for new libraries via :ref:`Command Line <cmd_lib_search>`
|
||||
or `WebSite <http://platformio.ikravets.com>`_ interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
You don't need to bother for finding the latest version of library. Due to
|
||||
:ref:`cmd_lib_update` command you will have up-to-date external libraries.
