Amber Packages (or: reuse Amber code)

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a "standard amber way" to package and distribute amber code.
The curiosity comes from using Tide with the new Amber, but it can easily apply to any amber code.

Right now we can drop the .st/.js files in a subdirectory of the project created with 'amber init', but maybe it would be useful to provide a deploy.js/develop.js for quick integration of the code.
Are there any guidelines about that? What do you think it is needed? Would we also need to define a library.amd.js file for configuration?

Thanks a lot.

What is "amber code"?

Ah, you mean library made in Amber.

There is no "packaging" per se. Library code should be left as-is, in
its git repo. Library's client installs it via bower*, just as any other
dependency**. It works out of the box, as everything enabling this kind
of reuse is already included (in fact, the "config.js-and-*.amd.json"
system was designed especially for libraries to be reusable without any
additional steps).

* Either directly installing from git url, if the library is
nonpublished, or via bower registry name, when you published it by
`bower register published-name git-url`.

** Only final app is "packaged" for deployment via `grunt deploy`. It
then packages all involved libraries as well into final the.js.

Re: Amber Packages (or: reuse Amber code)

Ok, I see, thanks for your answer.
Can you please point me some documentation to better understand the config.js/*.amd.js files?

Re: Amber Packages (or: reuse Amber code)

Amber config wiki page in amber-smalltalk/amber.
herby/amd-config-builder repo's README.md.

But if you just want to reuse a library, you do not need anything else except include it in your project. All else just works thanks to config.js built from .amd.json files.

BTW, both Helios and IDE starter are Amber(-friendly) libraries that are
included in every `amber init`-created project, and they just work out
of the box by including them.

What dou you mean by 'including'? In which file?

The following files do not mention Helios and the IDE starter

https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber/blob/master/bower.json
https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber/blob/master/package.json
https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber/blob/master/external/amber-cli/package.json
https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber/blob/master/external/amber-dev/package.json

All files you mentioned are files of Amber itself.

Re: Amber Packages (or: reuse Amber code)

But I wonder why there is no need for a

helios.amd.json

file?

Because it is an Amber library, having its own .amd.json files.

libdir.amd.json is a workaround for those who haven't.
