lsd_package.json · LSD Docs

lsd_package.json is the manifest that turns a folder into an LSD package. It is manifest v1 — a flat JSON object at the package root. This page lists every field, the version-spec grammar, and the sealed-marketplace additions.

Usage#

JSON

{
    "_schema_version": 1,
    "name": "mim",
    "display_name": "Mining",
    "version": "1.2.0",
    "description": "Mining pipeline steps.",
    "min_lsd": "1.0",
    "dependencies": { "lsd-spatial": ">=1.0.0" },
    "tool": "tool"
}

Version-spec grammar#

Values in dependencies (and min_lsd) use a small grammar:

Spec	Matches
`*`	any version
`X.Y.Z`	exactly that version
`>=X.Y.Z`	that version or newer
`>X.Y.Z`	strictly newer

JSON

"dependencies": { "lsd-spatial": ">=1.0.0", "lsd-data": "*" }

Store identity and signing#

Packages submitted through Creator Studio bind these identity fields:

Field	Type	Meaning
`publisher`	string	Must match the publisher page owned by the signed-in account.
`paid`	bool	Must be `false` in the current release.

The immutable Store envelope carries the signature and key id outside this source manifest. See Publish to the Store.

File locations#

Path	What
`~/.lsd/packages/`	Installed packages.
`~/.lsd/packages/installed.json`	The record of what is installed.
