The Godot Package Manager

NPM allows for arbitrary packages to be uploaded, so why not upload Godot addons there to be automatically managed?

Using Packages Quickstart

1. Find some Godot packages on NPM
2. Add them to the godot.package file (See the godot.package section)
3. Install your client of choice
4. Run your client's update function

Publishing Packages Quickstart

1. Download the npm cli tool
2. Copy your README.md and LICENSE files into the addon folder (if you don't have these, you should create them)
3. In your addon folder, run npm init (e.g. given addons/my_plugin/, run these commands in the my_plugin folder)
4. Answer the prompts given by npm
5. Run npm publish --access public to publish your package. See the npm docs for more details

godot.package

This file can be in different markup languages:

HJSON

packages: {
  my_package: 1.0.0
}

YAML

packages:
  my_package: 1.0.0

TOML

[packages]
my_package = "1.0.0"
