Managing Lexicons

Lexicons are provider-specific type packages that define resource constructors, property types, and intrinsic functions.

Adding a Lexicon

Install the lexicon package and add it to your chant.config.ts:

npm install --save-dev @intentius/chant-lexicon-<name>

import type { ChantConfig } from "@intentius/chant";

export default {
  lexicons: ["<name>"],
  lint: {
    extends: ["@intentius/chant/lint/presets/strict"],
  },
} satisfies ChantConfig;

Updating Versions

Update the lexicon package version:

npm update @intentius/chant-lexicon-<name>

How Lexicons Work

See Lexicons Overview for the full architecture, including how lexicons provide type definitions, property mappings, and lint rules.
