platformio library

[cooked]

I'm wondering if this is something in the pipeline?
I've been using the TMC-API for quite some time now with the platformio environment and I like to keep the reference to the full repo tree (for the sake of keeping it up to date) instead of fishing out only the code I need.
However doing it this way platformio always compiles all the files in the lib, needless to say throwing a lot of errors.

I've made a fork where I created a library.json so that using the platformio library manager ( lib_deps = ) I get the desired behavior (see https://github.com/cooked/TMC-API/blob/master/library.json where I included only the files needed to work with the TMC2209)
The approach is not "flexible" yet, more of a proof of concept, so I'm wondering if there's interest in supporting it or someone else is facing similar situation.

We have started to rework TMC-API(more info is available here).

With the reworked implementation, one only needs to copy the folder of the IC they are using. For example in your case, you just need TMC-API/tmc/ic/TMC2209 folder.

Copying folders around is not a great development experience. PlatoformIO allows the installation of a dependency through the package manager, which is much nicer.
It is relatively easy to create a PlatofrmIO library wrapper around TMC-API. You only need a repository with library.json in it with the following content:
