This is a central listing of all packages for Nimble, a package manager for the Nim programming language.

An overview of all Nimble packages is available in the library documentation.

To add your own package, fork this repository, edit packages.json and make a pull request.

Packages.json is a simple array of objects. Each package object should have the following fields (unless the field is marked as optional):

• name - The name of the package, this should match the name in the package's nimble file.
• url - The url from which to retrieve the package.
• method - The method that should be used to retrieve this package. Currently "git" and "hg" is supported.
• tags - A list of tags describing this package.
• description - A description of this package.
• license - The license of the source code in the package.
• web - An optional url for humans to read additional information about the package.

Your packages may be removed if the url stops working. It goes without saying that your pull request will not be accepted unless you fill out all of the above required fields correctly, the package that url points to must also contain a .nimble file, or else it will be rejected.

To rename a package you will need to add a new entry for your package. Simply perform the following steps:

• Duplicate your package's current entry.
• Remove every field in one of the entries apart from the name field.
• Add an alias field to that entry.
• Change the name in the other package entry.

For example:

...
  {
    "name": "myoldname",
    "alias": "mynewname"
  },
  {
    "name": "mynewname",
    "url": "...",
    "method": "git",
    ...
  },
