Paclets are installable additions to Wolfram Language. While a number of paclets are available for download from the Wolfram Language Paclet Repository, you can also build your own paclets. This video lesson explains the type of metadata that goes into a PacletInfo.wl file, providing programmatic descriptions of paclet code and resources. It walks you through the process of developing a paclet with the help of a simple example. The video also shows you how to author and deploy documentation for a paclet and its functions.
