# `zig_package`

Represents one locked Zig package as a normal Zig module provider. These
targets are normally generated by
[`zig_dependencies`](/reference/prelude/zig_dependencies), but remain visible
through target and dependency queries.

| `source_root` | string | yes | Materialized package source directory |
| `source_url` | string | no | Source location recorded by the parent manifest |

## Providers

- `zig_module`

The provider carries the same direct and transitive module contexts as
`zig_library`, plus locked package identity and source metadata. It performs no
network operation and is compiled at the use site by a consuming Zig artifact
target.
