Adding Modules¶

A module manifest is a collection of repository names and repository locations.

We have three types of manifests:

• Local Module Manifest
• Root Module Manifest
• Normal Module Manifest

Module Manifests are loaded in that order, wherein duplicate names will be ignored.

Definition¶

The manifest definition consists of a listing of a name and a repository, and are listed in a .manifest.json:

//_modules.json
[
    {
        "name": "<vendor-name>/<module-name>",
        "repository": "https://<repository>.git"
    }
]

Where

• vendor-name is alpha-numeric and may contain '-' and '_'.
• module-name is alpha-numeric and may contain '-' and '_'.
• repository is a git url (may be private).

Local Module Manifest¶

Local Manifests are added on a per project basis. By defining a .module.json file in the root of your project we can add new modules available to that project only.

Root Module Manifest¶

The root manifest contains modules that are defined by the root registry.

Normal Module Manifest¶

The normal manifests are modules defined by normal registries.
