Library
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
The library features the sharing of common code. There is a global and
|
||||
a type library to match the specific use case.
|
||||
|
||||
The library feature is simply making the path to the library folder
|
||||
available to all scripts. With it, they can load files out of the library
|
||||
from different locations. Through it, code must only written once, which
|
||||
makes code easier and less redundant. Also, better code can be provided
|
||||
by shared libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
Synopsis
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
From `manifest`, `gencode-*` and `code-local`:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block::
|
||||
|
||||
$__library (global library directory path)
|
||||
$__type/library (type library folder)
|
||||
|
||||
From the remote side (`explorer` and `code-remote`):
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block::
|
||||
|
||||
$__library (remote copied library directory path)
|
||||
$__type_library (remote copied type library folder)
|
||||
|
||||
*Type libraries are only available if the code is available in an object-
|
||||
realated content. As example, there are not available in global explorer
|
||||
or the initial manifest.*
|
||||
|
||||
How to use
|
||||
----------
|
||||
Because the library features only distribute files, it's not bond to
|
||||
`posix shell scripts` or any programming or scripting language. To use
|
||||
the library, you only need to load the library from the given path.
|
||||
|
||||
In shell scripts, it works as follow (here as a `type manifest`):
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
# loading a global library
|
||||
. "$__library/manifest"
|
||||
|
||||
# loading type library
|
||||
. "$__type/library/foo-bar"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# now, sourced shell functions can be used
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
|
||||
Remote handling
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
The libraries may also required on the remote side. For this, the
|
||||
library is completly copied to the remote. Therefor, it's completly
|
||||
available on the remote side and can be used in the explorers and
|
||||
generated remote code.
