Examples

Adding a Spicepod from Spicerack (like spiceai/quickstart):

Directory Structure: The command makes two main modifications to the directory structure:

1. It creates the spicepods directory in the project root if it does not exist.
2. It adds the Spicepod defined by the Spicerack Slug in the relative path in the spicepods directory. For this example, the command would create the directories spicepods/spiceai and spicepods/spiceai/quickstart, instantiating a Spicepod under the latter. More generally, the Spicepod is placed under spicepods/[slug], where slug is the Spicerack slug associated with that Spicepod.

After running the command, the directory structure looks like this:

├── spicepods/
│   ├── spiceai/
│       ├── quickstart/
│           ├── spicepod.yaml
├── spicepod.yaml
└── ...

Any other Spicepods added using spice add are placed in the spicepods directory.

spice add also creates the appropriate Spicepod for the given Spicerack slug. For this example with spiceai/quickstart, the command creates the following the Spicepod under spicepods/spiceai/quickstart:

The add command also includes the above Spicepod as a dependency in the root spicepod.yaml, creating this file if it does not exist:
