# Enso Libraries Packaging
|
|
|
|
Given the nature of Enso as an open-source programming language and platform, it
|
|
is crucial that we provide users with an extensible package management system.
|
|
This document describes the current state of our packaging efforts, as well as
|
|
future directions and enhancements to it.

## Enso Package Structure
|
|
|
|
The general directory structure of an Enso package is as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
My_Package
|
|
├── package.yaml
|
|
├── polyglot
|
|
│ ├── java
|
|
│ │ └── jar.jar
|
|
│ └── js
|
|
│ └── library.js
|
|
├── src
|
|
│ ├── Main.enso
|
|
│ └── Sub_Module
|
|
│ ├── Helper.enso
|
|
│ └── Util.enso
|
|
├── visualization (optional)
|
|
│ └── ...
|
|
└── data (optional)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### The `src` Directory
|
|
|
|
The `src` directory contains all Enso sources, organized in a hierarchical
|
|
structure. The structure of this directory dictates how particular modules are
|
|
imported in all of Enso code.
|
|
|
|
Note that all files and directories in this subtree must be named according to
|
|
the Enso style for referent names (i.e. `Upper_Snake_Case`, see
|
|
[the syntax specification](../syntax/naming.md#naming-constructs)).
|
|
|
|
A file located at the path `My_Package/src/Sub_Module/Helper.enso` will be
|
|
imported like so:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
import My_Package.Sub_Module.Helper
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please note the following:
|
|
|
|
- The name of the package appears as the first segment of the name.
|
|
- The package name is not specified by the containing directory's name, but
|
|
rather it is described in the `package.yaml` file.
|
|
|
|
The exact transformation is as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. The name of the package becomes the first segment of the qualified module
|
|
name.
|
|
2. Any subdirectories on the path from the `src` directory to the source file
|
|
are appended as consecutive segments.
|
|
3. The name of the source file, with the `.enso` extension stripped, becomes the
|
|
last segment.
|
|
|
|
### The `polyglot` Directory
|
|
|
|
The `polyglot` directory contains per-language subdirectories containing files
|
|
used by the supported polyglot languages. The contents of each subdirectory is
|
|
specified on a per-language basis, in the
|
|
[polyglot documentation](../polyglot/README.md).
|
|
|
|
### The `data` Directory
|
|
|
|
The `data` directory contains any data files and resources that the user needs
|
|
quick access to. Allows referring to resource files in a location-independent
|
|
way, by using the `enso_project.data` method.
|
|
|
|
### The `package.yaml` File
|
|
|
|
`package.yaml` describes certain package metadata, such as its name, authors and
|
|
version. It also includes the list of extra dependencies of the package
|
|
(dependencies that are not present in the resolver or need a version override).
|
|
The following is an example of this manifest file.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
license: MIT
|
|
name: My_Package
|
|
version: 1.0.1
|
|
edition:
|
|
extends: 2021.3
|
|
enso-version: 0.2.12
|
|
libraries:
|
|
- name: Foo.Bar
|
|
version: 1.2.3
|
|
repository: main
|
|
prefer-local-libraries: false
|
|
authors:
|
|
- name: John Doe
|
|
email: john.doe@example.com
|
|
maintainers:
|
|
- name: Jane Doe
|
|
email: jane.doe@example.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following is the specification of the manifest fields. Fields marked as
|
|
**Optional (required for publishing)** are completely optional during
|
|
development - if not specified, their default values will be used. However, they
|
|
must be specified before publishing the package. A package missing any of these
|
|
fields cannot be published.
|
|
|
|
#### normalized-name
|
|
|
|
**Optional** _String_: The name that will be used as a prefix to the module
|
|
names of the project. If not set, it will be derived from the project `name`.
|
|
|
|
#### license
|
|
|
|
**Optional (required for publishing)** _String_: The short license name of this
|
|
package. Defaults to `None`, meaning the package is not safe for use by third
|
|
parties.
|
|
|
|
#### edition
|
|
|
|
**Optional (required for publishing)** _Edition_: Defines the Edition settings
|
|
of the package that determine the engine version and library resolution
|
|
settings. It is a sub-setting that can consist of multiple fields, see
|
|
[the Edition documentation](../libraries/editions.md#the-edition-file) for the
|
|
format description.
|
|
|
|
The field was added in version 0.2.12 as a replacement for `enso-version` as it
|
|
supersedes its functionality.
|
|
|
|
If the `edition` field is not specified, a default edition is used.
|
|
|
|
#### enso-version
|
|
|
|
**Deprecated** _String_: Specifies the Enso version that should be used for this
|
|
project. If not set or set to `default`, the default locally installed Enso
|
|
version will be used.
|
|
|
|
The field was deprecated in version 0.2.12. Currently it is still supported, but
|
|
the newer tools will migrate it to the `edition` format when the config is
|
|
modified.
|
|
|
|
If old tools see a config file that includes an `edition` setting but does not
|
|
include the `engine-version` (for example after the migration), they will fall
|
|
back to using the default engine version - that is because old tools were not
|
|
aware of the `edition` field, so they will simply ignore it.
|
|
|
|
If a config defines the `edition` field it should not define the
|
|
`engine-version` field anymore, as that could lead to inconsistent engine
|
|
version settings.
|
|
|
|
#### version
|
|
|
|
**Optional (required for publishing)** _String_: The
|
|
[semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) string, in the `major.minor.patch`
|
|
format. If not set, it defaults to `dev` (which can be used for development, but
|
|
is not a valid version for publishing).
|
|
|
|
#### authors
|
|
|
|
**Optional** _List of contacts_: The name(s) and contact info(s) of the
|
|
author(s) of this library.
|
|
|
|
A contact is of the form:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
name: Contact Name
|
|
email: email@example.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both `name` and `email` fields are optional, but at least one of them has to be
|
|
present.
|
|
|
|
#### maintainers
|
|
|
|
**Optional** _List of contacts_: The name(s) and contact info(s) of the current
|
|
maintainer(s) of this library, in the same format as `authors` above.
|
|
|
|
#### prefer-local-libraries
|
|
|
|
**Optional** _Boolean_: A flag that tells the library resolver to prefer local
|
|
library versions over the ones specified by the edition configuration. This is
|
|
useful to make all local libraries easily accessible, but in more sophisticated
|
|
scenarios individual `local` repository overrides should be used instead of
|
|
that. See [Library Resolution](../libraries/editions.md#library-resolution) for
|
|
more details.
|
|
|
|
If the flag is not specified, it defaults to `false`, delegating all library
|
|
resolution to the edition configuration. However, newly created projects will
|
|
have it set to `true`.
|
|
|
|
### The `visualization` Directory
|
|
|
|
As Enso is a visual language, a package may contain a specification of how data
|
|
can be displayed in various tools, for example
|
|
[Enso IDE](https://github.com/enso-org/ide). The Enso package structure may
|
|
optionally contain a `visualization` directory which may contain visualization
|
|
definitions.
|
|
|
|
For more information on how visualization definitions should work with the Enso
|
|
IDE, see
|
|
[this example](https://enso.org/docs/developer/docs/ide/product/visualizations.html#custom-visualization-example).
|
|
|
|
## Build Reproducibility
|
|
|
|
It is crucial for any good development environment to provide reproducible
|
|
builds, such that it is impossible for it to go wrong by mismatching library
|
|
versions.
|
|
|
|
> The actionables for this section are:
|
|
>
|
|
> - Decide on the strategies of ensuring consistent library resolution. This may
|
|
> include hashing the downloaded versions of libraries and publishing
|
|
> stack-style resolvers for sets of libraries that are proven to work well
|
|
> together.
