library.json
============
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>`_.
.. contents::
.. _libjson_name:
``name``
--------
**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.
.. _libjson_description:
``description``
---------------
**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.
.. _libjson_keywords:
``keywords``
------------
**Required** | Type: ``String`` | Max. Length: 255
The keyword should be lowercased, can contain a-z, digits and dash (but not
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"
]
Pattern Meaning
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - Pattern
- Meaning
* - ``*``
- matches everything
* - ``?``
- matches any single character
* - ``[seq]``
- matches any character in seq
* - ``[!seq]``
- matches any character not in seq
.. _libjson_exclude:
``exclude``
-----------
*Optional* | Type: ``String`` or ``Array`` |
`Glob Pattern <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)>`_
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.
