Create a paclet directory called name in the directory dir.

Details

  • CreatePaclet creates a directory and generates an appropriate PacletInfo.wl for it.
  • CreatePaclet will create subdirectories corresponding to the specified paclet extensions, if appropriate.
  • CreatePaclet creates a directory containing a basic PacletInfo.wl file, which can be extended using the following options:
  • "Extensions"{"Kernel", "Documentation"}the set of paclet extensions provided by the new paclet
  • Paclets created by CreatePaclet are in a format incompatible with versions of the Wolfram Language prior to 12.1.
  • CreatePaclet[PacletObject[<| .. |>], ..] will return an error if any options are specified. This is to prevent ambiguity with keys within the association.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Create a paclet with the default Kernel and Documentation extensions:

This creates a paclet directory with the following files:

Documentation
Kernel

Access the location of the new paclet:

Create a paclet with a custom Kernel extension "Root" location:

A directory called Source will be made instead of Kernel:

Documentation
Source

Create a paclet based on a PacletObject specification:

Because we omitted the "Documentation" extension from our PacletObject, no Documentation directory is made in the created paclet:
