🏗️ The package.toml File

A TechScript package is defined by a package.toml file located in the root of the project directory.

Example package.toml:

[package]
name = "http_helper"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Tanmoy Majumder <tanmoy@example.com>"]
description = "A simple HTTP helper utility wrapper for TechScript"

[dependencies]
json_parser = "1.2.0"

🧬 Package Structure

A standard package follows this layout:

my_package/
├── package.toml
├── LICENSE
├── README.md
├── src/
│   ├── index.txs
│   └── helper.txs
└── tests/
    └── test_helper.txs

The entry point of the package is always src/index.txs. When another project depends on this package, importing use my_package loads the definitions from src/index.txs. For details about managing packages, see the Package Manager Guide.
