64 Local dependencies

The app declares a direct dependency on library in module.norm. Package the separate library into the local package repository first, then run the consumer; the app uses the dependency declaration and public Greeting type.

Library module description:

Module module() {
  return module(name: "library", version: 1, exports: ["model.Greeting"])
}

Public type:

package library.model

public value Greeting {
  public String text
}

Consumer module description:

Module module() {
  return module(
    name: "app",
    version: 1,
    exports: ["Main"],
    dependencies: [dependency(repository: "github", name: "library", version: 1)]
  )
}

Consumer entry:

package app

import library.model.Greeting

main() {
  Greeting greeting = Greeting(text: "Norm")
  printLine(greeting.text)
}

From the repository root, prepare the local package and run the app (--output points to the local Norm package cache):

norm package norm/tests/docs/dependency/producer/library/module.norm --output "$HOME/.norm/cache/packages"
norm run norm/tests/docs/dependency/app/Main.norm

Expected output:

Norm

The library project lives outside the consumer source tree. The checked example also runs a copied consumer without library source, proving that the packaged dependency is used.

Try it: Change the library greeting, package the library again, and rerun the consumer to observe the new value.

Precise rules: Module and dependencies.
