Configuration

Your application / package is configured with the mint.json file (which is a JSON file).

An example mint.json file of looks like this:

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "source-directories": [
    "source"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "mint-codemirror": {
      "repository": "https://github.com/mint-lang/mint-codemirror",
      "constraint": "5.0.0 <= v < 6.0.0"
    }
  }
}

All the fields are validated so if something is not right you will get a nice error message!

Here are all the possible fields (dot notation denotes a nested object):

Dependencies

The dependencies array contains all the packages that your application needs.

Each is an object that has a:

repository field pointing to Git repository which uniquely identifies it
constraint field that is the version information in one of two formats:
- 0.0.0 <= v < 1.0.0 where the v is the resolvable version
- master:1.0.0 where the first part is the Git reference (of a branch, commit hash or tag) followed by a colon and the version the package should resolve as this is necessary because the version is only specified by tags.
