Including external IDF Component in build

[diogoviannaaraujo]

Hi, I was trying to make a CBOR serializer and when looking at the examples on esp-idf repository it requires an external component. Seems to be defined in this file.

When I just try to include cbor.h I get that it could not be found

How can I make esp-idf include this cbor component in build?

@diogoviannaaraujo You can generally list ESP-IDF component dependencies in the CMakeLists.txt file of the platform-appropriate build target's main project. For example, for the vanilla ESP32, the component dependencies are listed here.

We do not currently have a mechanism for injecting those dependencies on a per-project basis. But you should be able to test by directly modifying that file in your Moddable SDK clone.

That was fast! Thanks. Not really CI friendly but it will be enough for now.
