====== Design Guide for Packages ======

To ensure that a package behaves as expected, there are some measures you must take in developing libraries for splint.\\

===== Splint.json (Descriptor) File =====

The ''splint.json'' descriptor file for a particular package must be at the root of the package as show below.\\

The ''splint-factory'' is a Code Igniter distribution. One can create other packages under the ''splint-factory/application/splints/francis94c'' folder for instance. However, each package under ''francis94c'' should have a ''splint.json'' file describing the package. See [[developer:splint_json|Splint JSON Package Descriptor]] for information on the contents of the file.

===== Package Root =====

If your package generates files for it's personal use, you should consider creating them within your package root or relative to it so that everything about your package stays within it's domain in production. you can get your package root in PHP with constant the below.\\

<code php>
__DIR__
</code>

===== Package README =====
Always present a good README for users to easily get up and running with your libraries. If there are steps to be taken with splint or posible ways to load your packages, please let the users of of your package know through the ''README.md'' file.\\ 

> Note: The README file must be named ''README.md'' with matching cases for Splint to read its contents.
