Package Manifest Editor is a utility to edit package manifests through code.

## Installation

1. The package is available on the [openupm registry](https://openupm.com). You can install it via [openupm-cli](https://github.com/openupm/openupm-cli).

```

openupm add net.tnrd.packagemanifesteditor

```

2. Installing through a [Unity Package](http://package-installer.glitch.me/v1/installer/package.openupm.com/net.tnrd.packagemanifesteditor?registry=https://package.openupm.com) created by the [Package Installer Creator](https://package-installer.glitch.me) from [Needle](https://needle.tools)

[](http://package-installer.glitch.me/v1/installer/package.openupm.com/net.tnrd.packagemanifesteditor?registry=https://package.openupm.com)

## Usage

Before you can do anything you'll have to open a manifest for editing like so

```c#

private void Foo()

{

    ManifestEditor editor = ManifestEditor.OpenById("Package Folder Name");

}

```

I personally put my packages in folders with the reverse domain name notation so I would use something along the lines of 

```ManifestEditor.OpenById("tld.domain.packagename");```

### Supported attributes

This package follows Unity's manifest definition which can be found here: [https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-manifestPkg.html](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-manifestPkg.html)

The odd one out are is the dependencies attribute. This one can only be read by using the `Dependencies` property on the `ManifestEditor`.

To add a dependency one can use the `AddDependency` method like so

```c#

private void Foo()

{

    ManifestEditor editor = ManifestEditor.OpenById("tld.domain.packagename");

    editor.AddDependency("tld.domain.packagedependency", "1.0.0");

}

```

The second parameter requires a version number according to the Semantic Versioning spec using [Artees' SemVer](https://github.com/Artees/Unity-SemVer).

Removing a dependency is done using the `RemoveDependency` method like so

```c#

private void Foo()

{

    ManifestEditor editor = ManifestEditor.OpenById("tld.domain.packagename");

    editor.RemoveDependency("tld.domain.packagedependency");

}

```

### Saving

Once you're done with your changes you can save the manifest file. It will overwrite the existing one on disk.

```c#

private void Foo()

{

    ManifestEditor editor = ManifestEditor.OpenById("tld.domain.packagename");

    // Do some changes

    editor.Save();

}

```

### Undoing your changes

If you want to undo your changes you can simply reload the manifest from disk like so

```c#

private void Foo()

{

    ManifestEditor editor = ManifestEditor.OpenById("tld.domain.packagename");

    // Some changes applied that you want to undo

    editor.Reload();

}

```

## Support

**Package Manifest Editor** is a small and open-source utility that I hope helps other people. It is by no means necessary but if you feel generous you can support me by donating.
