Sharing and Reusing Services¶

Choreo allows you to share and reuse your services, promoting faster development and increased efficiency in building integrated applications, through the use of Ballerina Private Packages.

Ballerina private packages allow developers to share the reusable code within the organization via Ballerina central without making it available to the public. Choreo allows you to use Ballerina private packages to create components when you use the the Ballerina buildpack.

In order to use Ballerina private packages, you need to make sure that you are using the same organization in Choreo and Ballerina Central. For example, if you are using choreo as the organization name in Choreo, following conditions should be met.

The Ballerina.toml in the private package should have the choreo as the organization name.
```
[package]
org = "choreo"
name = "greeting_lib"
```
The package should be published to the Ballerina Central using a token that is generated for the choreo organization.

Tip

You can refer to the Publish packages to Ballerina Central documentation to learn how to publish a Ballerina package to the Ballerina Central.
The Ballerina.toml in the application should have the choreo as the organization name.
```
[package]
org = "choreo"
name = "greeting_service"
```
The component should be created inside the choreo organization in the Choreo.

Tip

You can use the organization settings page to retrieve the organization name.
