Setting up imports

Any building blocks repository can import any other repository, so that references by id to building blocks (e.g. inside schemas, in bblock.json, etc.) belonging to the imported repositories can be automatically resolved.

Repository imports can be defined as an array of URLs to the output register.json of other repositories inside bblocks-config.yaml:

• If imports is missing from bblocks-config.yaml, the main OGC Building Blocks repository will be imported by default.
• default can be used instead of a URL to refer to the main OGC Building Blocks repository.
• If imports is an empty array, no repositories will be imported.

For example, the following will import two repositories, one of them being the main OGC Building Blocks repository:

name: Repository with imports
imports:
  - default
  - https://example.com/bbr/repository.json
