Modular extensions

[bahman]

Hi,

Some parts of my extensions share same code. I was thinking of making the shared part a packaged then install it separately when any of the extension gets installed. I was wondering if there is an option to make an extension install another extension (or packaged) during the install. This way I only have to maintain one source for the shared code.

hello @bahman,

another option is to include the shared libraries in the extension using git subtree – see the notes here.

cheers!

There is this https://robofont.com/documentation/building-tools/extensions/extension-file-spec/#requirements

It will not install if a requirement is missing and loads the requirement ext first during startup.

Hope this help
