Compose Blocklets

What is Blocklet Composition?#

To understad what is blocklet composition, please check out:

Compose in blocklet.yml#

The `blocklet.yml` file allows you to define and compose multiple blocklets within your main blocklet. This feature enables you to create modular and reusable applications by incorporating other blocklets as components.

The `components` section in your `blocklet.yml` file is where you define the blocklets you want to include in your main blocklet. Here's the structure:

Fields Explanation:

• name: required, The identifier for the component within your blocklet, should be DID for most cases
• mountPoint: optional, The path where the component will be accessible in your blocklet.
• required: optional, Boolean indicating whether the component is essential for your blocklet to function.
• source: required: Specifies where to obtain the component blocklet.
• • store: URL of the blocklet store containing the component.
  • name: Name or DID of the blocklet in the store.
  • version: Version of the blocklet to use (e.g., "latest" or a specific version number).
  • url: if your blocklet is not hosted in any store, you can provide its bundle URL

To make blocklet composition much easier to accomplish, here are the steps:

• Go to https://store.blocklet.dev/ and find the blocklet you want to include as a dependency
• Open the blocklet detail, such as https://test.store.blocklet.dev/blocklets/z8ia1mAXo8ZE7ytGF36L5uBf9kD2kenhqFGp9
• Click the extra actions section on the left of Launch, and then click "Add Component"
• Then go to your blocklet source code repo, paste and run the component add command
• Then restart your blocklet, blocklet server will handle dependency blocklet automatically
