Topic: how is package.json in template used?

Eric Haas (Jan 23 2020 at 05:17):

The package.json in the template is required for the build to run. However its contents can literally be placeholders like:

{
  "name": "[package-id]",
  "version": "[ver]",
  "type": "fhir.template",
  "license": "[license]",
  "description": "[description]",
  "author": "[url]",
  "canonical" : "[canonical]"
}

and the the build runs (locally at least) without a hitch. What is its purpose especially since all the values are repeats of stuff in the ig resource?

I know its a package manifest file btw.

Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 23 2020 at 10:14):

that is about the template, not about the IG.
The IG can have an Apache license while the IG has a CC license.
The IG has dependencies (from other IGs), but the template has dependencies (from other templates)

Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 23 2020 at 10:14):

so they can differ

Eric Haas (Jan 23 2020 at 10:48):

thanks for the explanation, I must have understood that a few months ago because I set it up correctly for the template manifest.
