This document describes the packages that come with Volto, the default frontend for Plone 6.

These packages are part of Plone's API-first story.
Most of them are experimental and are marked in their respective `README` files.
Plone 6.1.x (Volto 18) depends on:
- `@plone/registry`
- `@plone/scripts`
- `@plone/volto-slate`

and as a development dependency:
- `@plone/types`

Plone 6.0.x (Volto 17 and below) does not use any of them.

These packages are expected to be used and become part of Plone 7.
Some of them might become part of Plone 6.1.x minor versions.

The packages are divided into three categories or types:

- core
- utilities
- add-ons


## `@plone/types`

Plone types is a special development package.
It contains the Plone typings for TypeScript.
It's considered a core package, and it's the only package that the other core packages can rely on as
a `devDependency` in your project configuration.
It's considered a core package, and it's the only package that the other core packages can rely on as a `devDependency` in your project configuration.

This package contains `.d.ts` typing definitions, curated by hand.
Due to the nature of this package, it does not need bundling.
It's published "as is", so you can import the type definitions from anywhere in your code.

### Rules

Feature packages, or add-on packages, can depend on any other package.
Add-on or feature packages, can depend on any other package.
You must distribute them as source code, and not transpile them.
They must provide a default configuration registry loader as the default main entry point export.
They must be loadable as any other add-on.
Unlike Volto add-ons, do *NOT* place the code in the `src` folder.
If you do not transpile the package, the direct resolution must work out of the box, where both the bundler and TypeScript resolution are direct.
They must be loadable as any other add-on, and contain an add-on registry compatible `install`-able default export.
