# package(id:exact:traits:)

Adds a remote package dependency with an exact version requirement.

## Declaration

```swift
static func package(id: String, exact version: Version, traits: Set<Package.Dependency.Trait> = [.defaults]) -> Package.Dependency
```

## Parameters

- `id`: The identity of the package.
- `version`: The exact version of the dependency for this requirement.
- `traits`: The trait configuration of this dependency. The default value enables the default traits of the package.

## Return Value

Return Value A Package.Dependency instance.

## Discussion

Discussion Specifying exact version requirements are not recommended as they can cause conflicts in your dependency graph when multiple other packages depend on a package. Because Swift packages follow the semantic versioning convention, think about specifying a version range instead. The following example instructs the Swift Package Manager to use version 1.2.3. .package(id: "scope.name", exact: "1.2.3"),
