JsonDependencyExtended interface

Represents a JSON extended dependency definition.

Signature

export interface JsonDependencyExtended

Remarks

Extended dependency format introduced in xpm 0.16.0 to support richer dependency metadata beyond simple version strings. Allows specifying platform constraints and local installation modes.

Example usage in package.json:

"dependencies": {
  "@scope/package": {
    "specifier": "^1.0.0",
    "platforms": ["linux-x64", "darwin-x64"],
    "local": "link"
  }
}

Platform filtering enables platform-specific dependencies, useful for binary packages that only work on certain operating systems or architectures. Local installation modes control how dependencies are installed in the workspace (symbolic link vs. file copy).

Properties

Property	Modifiers	Type	Description
local?		'link' | 'copy'	(Optional) The local installation mode, if applicable.
platforms?		string | string[]	(Optional) The supported platforms for the dependency.
specifier		string	The dependency version specifier.
