# Manifests -- `vcpkg.json`
2021-03-12 08:37:49 +08:00
**Note: this is the feature as it was initially specified and does not necessarily reflect the current behavior.**
**Up-to-date documentation is available at [Manifests ](../users/manifests.md ).**

For many other language package managers, there exists a way of writing one's dependencies in a declarative
manifest format; we want something similar for vcpkg. What follows is the specification of that feature;
this should mean that vcpkg becomes far more user and enterprise-friendly, and is additionally an important
first step for versioning and package federation. Our primary concern, beyond implementability, is ease-of-use;
it is important that using this feature is all of:
* Easy for existing users
* Easy for new users to set up
* Easy to extend later for new features like versioning and federation
* _Declarative_, not _Imperative_ .
## Reasoning
### Why JSON?
We choose JSON for five main reasons:
* Everybody knows JSON, and if one doesn't, it's really easy to learn
* Every tool supports JSON in the standard library, or in a commonly used support library
* This means writing tooling should be trivial in any language one is comfortable with
* Most configuration formats don't have a COBOL implementation 😉
* Specified in an international standard
* There is _one_ right way to parse JSON
* There are no ambiguities of what the parse tree _should_ be
* Simple and secure
* Unlike YAML, for example, there's no weird ACE issues
* Easy to write a parser -- important since we can't depend on external libraries
* Schemas are almost a necessity
Some have suggested allowing comments or commas in our parser; we chose to use JSON proper
rather than JSON5 or JSON with comments because JSON is the everywhere-supported international
standard. That is not necessarily true of JSON with comments. Additionally, if one needs
to write a comment, they can do so via `"$reason"` or `"$comment"` fields.
## Specification
A manifest file shall have the name `vcpkg.json` , and shall be in the root directory of a package.
It also replaces CONTROL files, though existing CONTROL files will still be
supported; there will be no difference between ports and packages, except
that packages do not need to supply portfile.cmake (eventually we would like
to remove the requirement of portfile.cmake for ports that already use
CMake).
The specification uses definitions from the [Definitions ](#definitions ) section in order
to specify the shape of a value. Note that any object may contain any directives, written as
a field key that starts with a `$` ; these directive shall be ignored by `vcpkg` . Common
directives may include `"$schema"` , `"$comment"` , `"$reason"` .
[vcpkg manifest] Manifest Implementation (#11757)
==== Changes Related to manifests ====
* Add the `manifests` feature flag
* This only says whether we look for a `vcpkg.json` in the cwd, not
whether we support parsing manifests (for ports, for example)
* Changes to the manifests RFC
* `"authors"` -> `"maintainers"`
* `--x-classic-mode` -> `-manifests` \in `vcpkg_feature_flags`
* reserve `"core"` in addition to `"default"`, since that's already
reserved for features
* Add a small helper note about what identifiers must look like
* `<license-string>`: SPDX v3.8 -> v3.9
* `"feature"."description"` is allowed to be an array of strings as well
* `"version"` -> `"version-string"` for forward-compat with versions
RFC
* Add the `--feature-flags` option
* Add the ability to turn off feature flags via passing
`-<feature-flag>` to `VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS` or `--feature-flags`
* Add CMake toolchain support for manifests
* Requires either:
* a feature flag of `manifests` in either `Env{VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS}`
or `VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS`
* Passing the `VCPKG_ENABLE_MANIFESTS` option
* The toolchain will install your packages to
`${VCPKG_MANIFEST_DIR}/vcpkg_installed`.
* Add MSBuild `vcpkg integrate install` support for manifests
* Requires `VcpkgEnableManifest` to be true
* `vcpkg create` creates a port that has a `vcpkg.json` instead of a
`CONTROL`
* argparse, abseil, 3fd, and avisynthplus ports switched to manifest
from CONTROL
* Add support for `--x-manifest-root`, as well as code for finding it if
not passed
* Add support for parsing manifests!
* Add a filesystem lock!
==== Important Changes which are somewhat unrelated to manifests ====
* Rename `logicexpression.{h,cpp}` to `platform-expression.{h,cpp}`
* Add `PlatformExpression` type which takes the place of the old logic
expression
* Split the parsing of platform expressions from checking whether
they're true or not
* Eagerly parse PlatformExpressions as opposed to leaving them as
strings
* Add checking for feature flag consistency
* i.e., if `-binarycaching` is passed, you shouldn't be passing
`--binarysource`
* Add the `Json::Reader` type which, with the help of user-defined
visitors, converts JSON to your internal type
* VcpkgArgParser: place the switch names into a constant as opposed to
using magic constants
* In general update the parsing code so that this ^ works
* Add `Port-Version` fields to CONTROL files
* This replaces the existing practice of
`Version: <my-version>-<port-version>`
==== Smaller changes ====
* small drive-by cleanups to some CMake
* `${_VCPKG_INSTALLED_DIR}/${VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET}` ->
`${CURRENT_INSTALLED_DIR}`
* Remove `-analyze` when compiling with clang-cl, since that's not a
supported flag (vcpkg's build system)
* Add a message about which compiler is detected by vcpkg's build
system machinery
* Fix `Expected::then`
* Convert `""` to `{}` for `std::string` and `fs::path`, to avoid a
`strlen` (additionally, `.empty()` instead of `== ""`, and `.clear()`)
* Add `Strings::strto` which converts strings to numeric types
* Support built-in arrays and `StringView` for `Strings::join`
* Add `operator<` and friends to `StringView`
* Add `substr` to `StringView`
* SourceParagraphParser gets some new errors

## Behavior of the Tool
[vcpkg manifest] Manifest Implementation (#11757)
==== Changes Related to manifests ====
* Add the `manifests` feature flag
* This only says whether we look for a `vcpkg.json` in the cwd, not
whether we support parsing manifests (for ports, for example)
* Changes to the manifests RFC
* `"authors"` -> `"maintainers"`
* `--x-classic-mode` -> `-manifests` \in `vcpkg_feature_flags`
* reserve `"core"` in addition to `"default"`, since that's already
reserved for features
* Add a small helper note about what identifiers must look like
* `<license-string>`: SPDX v3.8 -> v3.9
* `"feature"."description"` is allowed to be an array of strings as well
* `"version"` -> `"version-string"` for forward-compat with versions
RFC
* Add the `--feature-flags` option
* Add the ability to turn off feature flags via passing
`-<feature-flag>` to `VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS` or `--feature-flags`
* Add CMake toolchain support for manifests
* Requires either:
* a feature flag of `manifests` in either `Env{VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS}`
or `VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS`
* Passing the `VCPKG_ENABLE_MANIFESTS` option
* The toolchain will install your packages to
`${VCPKG_MANIFEST_DIR}/vcpkg_installed`.
* Add MSBuild `vcpkg integrate install` support for manifests
* Requires `VcpkgEnableManifest` to be true
* `vcpkg create` creates a port that has a `vcpkg.json` instead of a
`CONTROL`

from CONTROL
* Add support for `--x-manifest-root`, as well as code for finding it if
not passed
* Add support for parsing manifests!
* Add a filesystem lock!
==== Important Changes which are somewhat unrelated to manifests ====
* Rename `logicexpression.{h,cpp}` to `platform-expression.{h,cpp}`
* Add `PlatformExpression` type which takes the place of the old logic
expression
* Split the parsing of platform expressions from checking whether
they're true or not

There will be two "modes" for vcpkg from this point forward: "classic", and "manifest".
2020-06-02 02:30:56 +08:00
The former will act exactly like the existing vcpkg workflow, so as to avoid breaking
anyone. The latter will be the mode only when the user either:
* Passes `--manifest-root-dir=<directory>` (initially, `x-manifest-root-dir` )
* Runs `vcpkg` in a directory that contains a file named `vcpkg.json` , or in a
child directory of a directory containing `vcpkg.json` .
* For this, initially vcpkg will warn that the behavior will change in the
future, and simply run in classic mode, unless the feature flag `manifests` is
passed via:
* The environment variable `VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS`
* The option `--feature-flags`
* (e.g., `--feature-flags=binarycaching,manifests` )

When in "manifest" mode, the `installed` directory will be changed to
2020-06-02 02:30:56 +08:00
`<manifest-root>/vcpkg_installed` (name up for bikeshedding).
The following commands will change behavior:
* `vcpkg install` without any port arguments will install the dependencies listed in
the manifest file, and will remove any dependencies
which are no longer in the dependency tree implied by the manifest file.
* `vcpkg install` with port arguments will give an error.

Additionally, if `-manifests` is set in the feature flags environment
variable, we turn off manifest mode in the toolchain, and we act like
the classic toolchain.

### Example - CMake Integration
An example of using the new vcpkg manifests feature for a new
project follows:
The filesystem structure should look something like:
```
example/
src/
main.cxx
CMakeLists.txt
vcpkg.json
```
Then, `main.cxx` might look like:
```cpp
#include <fmt/format.h>
int main() {
fmt::print("Hello, {}!", "world");
}
```
Therefore, in `vcpkg.json` , we'll need to depend on `fmt` :
```json
{
"name": "example",

add_executable(example src/main.cxx)
find_package(fmt REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(example

... configuring and installing...
$ cmake --build build
```
and we're done! `fmt` will get installed into

[vcpkg manifest] Manifest Implementation (#11757)
==== Changes Related to manifests ====
* Add the `manifests` feature flag
* This only says whether we look for a `vcpkg.json` in the cwd, not
whether we support parsing manifests (for ports, for example)
* Changes to the manifests RFC
* `"authors"` -> `"maintainers"`
* `--x-classic-mode` -> `-manifests` \in `vcpkg_feature_flags`
* reserve `"core"` in addition to `"default"`, since that's already
reserved for features
* Add a small helper note about what identifiers must look like
* `<license-string>`: SPDX v3.8 -> v3.9
* `"feature"."description"` is allowed to be an array of strings as well
* `"version"` -> `"version-string"` for forward-compat with versions
RFC
* Add the `--feature-flags` option
* Add the ability to turn off feature flags via passing
`-<feature-flag>` to `VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS` or `--feature-flags`
* Add CMake toolchain support for manifests
* Requires either:
* a feature flag of `manifests` in either `Env{VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS}`
or `VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS`
* Passing the `VCPKG_ENABLE_MANIFESTS` option
* The toolchain will install your packages to
`${VCPKG_MANIFEST_DIR}/vcpkg_installed`.
* Add MSBuild `vcpkg integrate install` support for manifests
* Requires `VcpkgEnableManifest` to be true
* `vcpkg create` creates a port that has a `vcpkg.json` instead of a
`CONTROL`
* argparse, abseil, 3fd, and avisynthplus ports switched to manifest
from CONTROL
* Add support for `--x-manifest-root`, as well as code for finding it if
not passed
* Add support for parsing manifests!
* Add a filesystem lock!
==== Important Changes which are somewhat unrelated to manifests ====
* Rename `logicexpression.{h,cpp}` to `platform-expression.{h,cpp}`
* Add `PlatformExpression` type which takes the place of the old logic
expression
* Split the parsing of platform expressions from checking whether
they're true or not
* Eagerly parse PlatformExpressions as opposed to leaving them as
strings
* Add checking for feature flag consistency
* i.e., if `-binarycaching` is passed, you shouldn't be passing
`--binarysource`
* Add the `Json::Reader` type which, with the help of user-defined
visitors, converts JSON to your internal type
* VcpkgArgParser: place the switch names into a constant as opposed to
using magic constants
* In general update the parsing code so that this ^ works
* Add `Port-Version` fields to CONTROL files
* This replaces the existing practice of
`Version: <my-version>-<port-version>`
==== Smaller changes ====
* small drive-by cleanups to some CMake
* `${_VCPKG_INSTALLED_DIR}/${VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET}` ->
`${CURRENT_INSTALLED_DIR}`
* Remove `-analyze` when compiling with clang-cl, since that's not a
supported flag (vcpkg's build system)
* Add a message about which compiler is detected by vcpkg's build
system machinery
* Fix `Expected::then`
* Convert `""` to `{}` for `std::string` and `fs::path`, to avoid a
`strlen` (additionally, `.empty()` instead of `== ""`, and `.clear()`)
* Add `Strings::strto` which converts strings to numeric types
* Support built-in arrays and `StringView` for `Strings::join`
* Add `operator<` and friends to `StringView`
* Add `substr` to `StringView`
* SourceParagraphParser gets some new errors
