Description
Is there a possibility that in the future versions of Arduino IDE library could define it's dependencies thus making sure it will work.
Something like this:
- Library has a line something similar to
requires=<other library's name>:<optional minimum version>and/orrequiresIDE=<version>in it's library.properties - User presses download but it does not have a required library installed, there is one installed but without library.properties or the library is outdated (with
requiresIDEthe IDE's version incompatibility is also warned about) - User is prompted to download or update all the required libraries
This would definetly for example improve how people use libraries like RF24, RF24Network and RF24Mesh (I am sure there are more) making sure both the library and it's dependencies are up-to-date when any of those are downloaded.
