## Sharing Privately
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To prepare the project for sharing, make sure that it has a proper `namespace`
|
||
|
|
field set in `package.yaml`. It should be set to something unique, like your
|
||
|
|
username.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> **NOTE**: The field `namespace` is a temporary workaround and in the near
|
||
|
|
> future it will be deprecated and handled mostly automatically. For now however
|
||
|
|
> you need to set it properly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To share an Enso library, all you need to do is to package the project into an
|
||
|
|
archive (for example ZIP) and share it (through e-mail, cloud drive services
|
||
|
|
etc.) with your peers. Now to be able to use the library that was shared with
|
||
|
|
you, you need to extract it to the directory
|
||
|
|
`~/enso/libraries/<namespace>/<Project_Name>` (where on Windows `~` should be
|
||
|
|
interpreted as your user home directory). To make sure that the library is
|
||
|
|
extracted correctly, make sure that under the path
|
||
|
|
`~/enso/libraries/<namespace>/<Project_Name>/package.yaml` and that its
|
||
|
|
`namespace` field has the same value as the name of the `<namespace>` directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you need to set up your project properly to be able to use this unpublished
|
||
|
|
library. The simplest way to do that is to set `prefer-local-libraries` in your
|
||
|
|
project's `package.yaml` to `true`. This will make all libraries from
|
||
|
|
`~/enso/libraries` take precedence over published libraries set-up in the
|
||
|
|
edition. Alternatively, if you do not want to override all libraries, but only
|
||
|
|
some of them, you can add a local library override, by adding a proper entry in
|
||
|
|
the `libraries` section of the `edition` in your project's `package.yaml`, like
|
||
|
|
shown below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
edition:
|
||
|
|
(...)
|
||
|
|
libraries:
|
||
|
|
- name: <namespace>.<Project_Name>
|
||
|
|
repository: local
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, you can use your library by adding a proper import to your project:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
import <namespace>.<Project_Name>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Publishing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Soon it will be possible to share the libraries through the Marketplace, but
|
||
|
|
> it is still a work in progress.
