[@ibm/zapp-core] Using the @ibm/zapp-core package to update zapp.yaml files

[FALLAI-Denis]

Hi,

We have various needs to update the zapp.yaml files contained in our Git repositories which serve as a workspace for VS Code and therefore also for IBM Z Open Editor:

• Updated property groups (library declarations)
• Added DBB profiles
• Added ZCodeScan profiles
• ...

Until now, we've performed these updates using proprietary VS Code extensions and without any real structural control...
There is a package called @ibm/zapp-core which, in principle, provides secure access that respects the internal structure of the zapp.yaml files.

• Are we allowed to use the @ibm/zapp-core package in our own development?
• Is there more detailed documentation on using this package outside of the @ibm/zapp-core/lib/index.d.ts interface file?
• Are there any examples of its use in TypeScript or JavaScript scripts?

Thanks.

We were discussing of perhaps documenting or even open-sourcing the zapp library. At the moment, unfortunately, I do not have an answer, but I keep it on my list of things to make a decision on with our team.
