Enable the option to include a script in a package

Feature Requests

Using packages has some advantages, especially if you like the yaml way of living.
You can include almost everything in a package like groups, template definition, integrations and automations. This enebles me to create one package for a project, like my garden irrigation system or alarm. However, I simply cannot include a script in a package, simply because the dict definitions are missing…

Can you clarify what you are talking about and/or share an example that isn’t working?

I created some notification scripts, and put them in the package directory. The I get the error that it was not able to merge, because there is no dict. As I read the documentation page about packages, scripts indeed are not mentioned…

example script for in the package:

notification_package_script:
# PDW 2023-08, V1

  script:

  - id: F968B7BA929F417BAFA431A50C047EB0
    alias: notify_sender
    description: send message urgent to all devices using push and telegram and persistant
    icon: mdi:message-text-fast-outline
    fields:
      topic:
        description: "short title identifying the tread"
        example: "Alarm"
      message:
        description: "The actual message to send"
        example: "Motion detected in Home(assistant)"
      snapshot:
        description: "filename of a snapshot to be sent"
        example: '{{state_attr("var.camera_driveway","last_snapshot_alarm")}}'
    variable:
      image_url: >-
        {%- if snapshot != "" -%}
          https://home.myserver.online/local/snapshots/{{snapshot}}
        {%- else -%}{{""}}{%- endif -%}
      image_md: >-
        {%- if snapshot != "" -%}
         ´![Foto]({{image_url}})'
        {%- else -%}{{""}}{%- endif -%}

    sequence:
    # Persistant notification
    - service: persistent_notification.create
      data:
        title: '{{topic}}'
        message: '{{message }}  {{image_md}}'

    # Push notification to the app
    - service: notify.all_devices
      data:
        message: '{{topic}}/n{{message}}'
        data:
          url: '{{image_url}}'
          clickAction: '{{image_url}}'
          channel: Motion
          importance: high
          push:
            interruption-level: time-sensitive
          ttl: 0
          priority: high

    # Send message to Telegram
    - service: notify.telegram
      data:
        title: '{{topic}}'
        message: '{{message }}'
        data:
          photo:
          - url: '{{image_url}}'

You need to include a key/object_id for each script entity, just like you would in the standard scripts.yaml file.

notification_package_script:
# PDW 2023-08, V1

  script:
    notify_sender:
      alias: notify_sender
      description: send message as defined in var.notification_message
      icon: mdi:message-text-fast-outline
      fields:
        topic:
          description: "short title identifying the tread"
          example: "Alarm"
        message:
          description: "The actual message to send"
          example: "Motion detected in Home(assistant)"
        snapshot:
          description: "filename of a snapshot to be sent"
          example: '{{state_attr("var.camera_driveway","last_snapshot_alarm")}}'
      variables:
        image_url: >- 
          {%- if snapshot != "" -%}
            https://home.goatnet.nl/local/snapshots/{{snapshot}}
          {%- else -%}{{""}}{%- endif -%}
        image_md: >-
          {%- if snapshot != "" -%}
           ´![Foto]({{image_url}})'
          {%- else -%}{{""}}{%- endif -%}

      sequence:
        # Persistent notification
        - service: persistent_notification.create
          data:
            title: '{{topic}}'
            message: '{{message }}  {{image_md}}'

        # Push notification to the app
        - service: notify.all_devices
          data:
            message: '{{topic}}/n{{message}}'
            data:
              url: '{{image_url}}'
              clickAction: '{{image_url}}'
              channel: Motion
              importance: high
              push:
                interruption-level: time-sensitive
              ttl: 0
              priority: high

        # Send message to Telegram
        - service: notify.telegram
          data:
            title: '{{topic}}'
            message: '{{message }}'
            data:
              photo:
                - url: '{{image_url}}'

Thanks!
You are right, despite it is not explicitly mentioned in the documentation, it is actually possible this way!
