# custom meta-data defined for the package

​

Fields

• key (string, required): Define the key that can be used by application component to retrieve the value.
• component-id (string, optional): Define the application component-id that this key-value pair should be associated with. By adding this association, the key-value pair is available along with the component information through IComponent. If not defined, then the key-value pair is treated as a global value for the package and made available along with the package information through IPackage.
• value can be defined in either of the two ways:
  • value (string, required): Define a string value.
  • value (table, required): The content of the value table, including any sub-tables or sub-arrays of table, makes up the content of the value for the key-value pair. A sub-table can be declared as using inline table syntax or using regular table syntax. This value gets transformed to in the resulting value through IPackage or IComponent. The reader of this value is expected to parse TOML value from the string.
    # global key value
    [[extras]]
    key = "foo"
    value = "bar"
    
    # component specific key value
    [[extras]]
    key = "foo2"
    value = "bar2"
    component-id = "com.foo.bar.interactive"
    
    # value containing an inline table
    [[extras]]
    key = "sample.metadata"
    value.mysection = { rev = "1.5", name = "Doe" }
    
  The above results in the following key-value pair:
  "sample.metadata" => "[mysection] name = 'Doe' rev = '1.5'"
