Telescope Package Hierarchy

gistfile1.md

Telescope has three tiers of packages.

Lib Packages

These are third-party packages such as Iron Router, SimpleSchema, AutoForm, etc. that are used throughout the app. Inside telescope:lib, they are used (api.use()) and then implied (api.imply()), which makes them available to any package that then uses telescope:lib.

Here's the full list:

  api.use([
    'standard-app-packages',
    'accounts-base',
    'accounts-base',
    'accounts-password',
    'accounts-twitter',
    'http',
    'aldeed:[email protected]',
    'aldeed:[email protected]',
    'aldeed:[email protected]',
    'tap:[email protected]',
    'fourseven:[email protected]',
    'iron:[email protected]',
    'matb33:[email protected]',
    'chuangbo:[email protected]',
    'meteorhacks:[email protected]',
    'meteorhacks:[email protected]',
    'percolatestudio:[email protected]',
    'useraccounts:[email protected]',
    'manuelschoebel:[email protected]',
    'aramk:[email protected]_1',
    'momentjs:[email protected]',
    'sacha:[email protected]',
    'aslagle:[email protected]',
    'bengott:[email protected]'
  ]);

Core Packages

Core packages are packages that are necessary to run the app. They all depend on telescope:lib, and some of them also depend on each other in addition. They are all used and implied from telescope:core.

Here's the full list:

  api.use([
    'telescope:[email protected]', //  no dependencies
    'telescope:[email protected]', // lib
    'telescope:[email protected]', // lib
    'telescope:[email protected]', // lib
    'telescope:[email protected]', // lib
    'telescope:[email protected]', // lib
    'telescope:[email protected]', // lib, settings
    'telescope:[email protected]', // lib, settings, users
    'telescope:[email protected]' // lib, settings, users, comments
  ]);

Note that all these packages (including telescope:lib) are also implied in telescope:core. That means any package that uses telescope:core also has access to the packages that were implied in telescope:lib.

Also, since telescope:core depends on all of these, only telescope:core needs to be added to .meteor/packages:
