Configuration

Your application / package is configured with the mint.json file (which is a JSON file).

The initial mint.json file of an application looks like this:

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "source-directories": [
    "source"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "mint-core": {
      "repository": "https://github.com/mint-lang/mint-core",
      "constraint": "0.0.0 <= v < 1.0.0"
    }
  }
}

{% hint style="info" %} All the fields are validated so if something is not right you will get a nice error message! {% endhint %}

Here are all the possible fields (dot notation denotes a nested object):

Path	Purpose

source-directories	The directories which contains source files of your application.
test-directories	The directories which contains tests for your application.

Dependencies

The dependencies object contains all the packages that your application needs. Each key is the name of a package and the value is an object that has a repository field pointing to Git repository and constraint field that is the version information in one of two formats:

• 0.0.0 <= v < 1.0.0 where the v is the resolvable version
• master:1.0.0 where the first part is the Git reference (of a branch, commit hash or tag) followed by a colon and the version the package should resolve as this is necessary because the version is only specified by tags.
