# StackPack - script API

The StackPack script API provides handy operations to get the status of a StackPack or resources that are provided by a StackPack.

## Function: `StackPack.isInstalled(name: String)`

Returns a flag indicating if the StackPack is installed

### Args

* `name` - the name of a StackPack. This much match exactly (case-sensitive). The name of a StackPack can be found in the breadcrumb trail of the StackPack in the StackState UI or can be retrieved using [StackState CLI](https://archivedocs.stackstate.com/5.1/setup/cli) command:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="CLI: sts" %}

```
sts stackpack list
```

From StackState v5.0, the old `sts` CLI has been renamed to `stac` and there is a new `sts` CLI. The command(s) provided here are for use with the new `sts` CLI.

➡️ [Check which version of the `sts` CLI you are running](https://archivedocs.stackstate.com/5.1/setup/cli/cli-comparison#which-version-of-the-cli-am-i-running)
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="CLI: stac (deprecated)" %}

```
stac stackpack list
```

⚠️ **From StackState v5.0, the old `sts` CLI is called `stac`. The old CLI is now deprecated.**

The new `sts` CLI replaces the `stac` CLI. It's advised to install the new `sts` CLI and upgrade any installed instance of the old `sts` CLI to `stac`. For details see:

* [Which version of the `sts` CLI am I running?](https://archivedocs.stackstate.com/5.1/setup/cli/cli-comparison#which-version-of-the-cli-am-i-running)
* [Install the new `sts` CLI and upgrade the old `sts` CLI to `stac`](https://archivedocs.stackstate.com/5.1/setup/cli/cli-sts#install-the-new-sts-cli)
* [Comparison between the CLIs](https://archivedocs.stackstate.com/5.1/setup/cli/cli-comparison)
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

### Examples

The example below will return an `AsyncScriptResult` of a boolean indicating if the `agent` StackPack is installed

```
StackPack.isInstalled("agent")
```

## Function: `StackPack.getResources(stackPackNamespace: String, nodeType: String)`

Returns resources originating from the StackPack.

### Args

* `stackPackNamespace` - the name of the URN namespace of the StackPack. For example `aad` checks for resources in the namespace `urn:stackpack:aad`.
* `nodeType` - the type of node, for example `CheckFunction` or `QueryView`. You can get a full listing of all using the [StackState CLI](https://archivedocs.stackstate.com/5.1/setup/cli) command:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="CLI: sts" %}

```
sts settings list-types
```

```
StackPack.getResources("agent", "QueryView")
```
