Library Properties¶

Library properties serve for managing the meta data of a library. They are accessible via the Project Information. As from CODESYS 3.5.5.0 these properties have the following meaning:

Name		Type	Value (Default)	Description
Required	Company	Text		Serves for structuring (filter) in the “Add Library” dialog
	Title	Text		Name of the library
	Version	Version		Library version
Released		Bool	False	A library should not be modified after having been released
Author		Text		Author of the current library version
DefaultNamespace		Text		World-wide unique prefix, for defining the scope of the symbols of the library
Description		Text		Short description of the purpose of the library
Placeholder		Text		Which Placeholder should be used for referencing this library. This library follows the rules for a Common Library.
AutoResolveUnbound		Bool	False	This library has no device dependencies and requires the automatic resolving of its placeholder
IsContainerLibrary		Bool	False	This library follows the rules for a Container Library
IsInterfaceLibrary		Bool	False	This library follows the rules for a Interface Library
IsCommonLibraryContainer		Bool	False	This library follows the rules for a Container Library, but is referenced by a `Placeholder`
LanguageModelAttribute		Text	qualified-access-only	The access on symbols of the library is only possible via Namespace/Prefix
IsEndUserLibrary		Bool	False	This Library is especially designed for the needs of end users
UnitTestingDefine		Text		This value can be used as a define in the application build properties to enable unit testing for the library in this application. The keywords `PRIVATE`, `INTERNAL`, `PROTECTED` and `FINAL` are ignored during compile.
DocFormat [3]		Text	reStructuredText	Comments will be interpreted according the rules of reStructuredText
LibDocContent		Text	CommentsAndDocs	DocsOnly: Only comments marked with a triple slash (`///`) are relevant. CommentsAndDocs: Any comment style is relevant for the LibDocScriptiing.
DocLanguages [1]		Text		List of comma separated language ids (e.g, “de, fr”)
OnlineHelp [1] [4]		Bool	False	When set to True, this library should be part of the CODESYS online help
SourceLibrary [1]		Bool	False	When set to True, this library should be delivered not in *.compiled-library format
ServerBuildException [1]		Text	ok	Ignore Server Pipeline Errors
PreserveCompiledLibComments		Bool	False	When the attribute is set to True, CODESYS does not remove comments from compiled libraries.
Precursor [2]		Text		Reference to the last released library, which represents the incompatible immediate precursor. The text string follows this format: “<Title>, <Version> (<Company>)” For example: “SysTypes Interfaces, * (System)”
ShowSmartCodingInfo		Bool	False	Ensures that for libs which are inserted implicitly still “Smart Coding” is working.
Support32BitOnly		Bool	False	The compiler generates an error if commanded generating code for a 64bit system.
