Copy and paste no more!¶

On mbed.org there is integrated support for code component sharing and reuse via Libraries (see Writing a Library.

To add a library to your program, right click your program, then select Import Library:

Alternatively, if you see a library you want on the mbed site, click 'Import this library into a program':

To find out how to create your own libraries, see Writing a Library

Features¶

• A library can be imported into any program
• If a new version of a library is published, anyone using the library in a program will be notified that a new version is available
• Libraries can be imported, modified, then republished (forking)
• If a program using the library is published, the library will be 'attached' to that program and will be automatically imported if anyone imports the program
• You can see which published programs are using a library on the library's page
• If public, libraries appear on the Code page and in the IDE import wizard
• Like Programs, Libraries will autogenerate documentation if it is provided in the code (see Documenting a Library).
