Basic Examples  (1)

The default path:

Wolfram Language code: $ResourceSystemPath

Scope  (3)

Define a ResourceFunction in the kernel session:

Wolfram Language code: DefineResourceFunction[Style[#, 36, Red, Bold]&, "BigRed"]

The function is automatically registered in the kernel sessions and discoverable by name with the default $ResourceSystemPath:

Wolfram Language code: ResourceFunction["BigRed"]

Change the path to only use published resources:

Wolfram Language code: $ResourceSystemPath = {URL["https://resources.wolframcloud.com"]}

Now the function cannot be found:

Wolfram Language code: ResourceFunction["BigRed"]

Add the "KernelSession" PersistenceLocation:

Wolfram Language code: $ResourceSystemPath = {PersistenceLocation["KernelSession"], URL["https://resources.wolframcloud.com"]}

Now the function is found again:

Wolfram Language code: ResourceFunction["BigRed"]

Set the path to include only locally deployed and published resources:

Wolfram Language code: $ResourceSystemPath = {PersistenceLocation["Local"], URL["https://resources.wolframcloud.com"]}
Wolfram Language code: ResourceSearch["Sports"]

Change the path to only use published resources:

Wolfram Language code: $ResourceSystemPath = {URL["https://resources.wolframcloud.com"]}

Properties & Relations  (2)

$ResourceSystemPath provides the default value for the ResourceSystemPath option:

Wolfram Language code: $ResourceSystemPath = {PersistenceLocation["Cloud"]}
Wolfram Language code: ResourceObject["BirdSay"]

Providing a value for ResourceSystemPath supersedes the value of $ResourceSystemPath:

Wolfram Language code: ResourceObject["BirdSay", ResourceSystemPath -> {URL[$ResourceSystemBase]}]

The value of $ResourceSystemBase is included in the default $ResourceSystemPath list before the Wolfram Resource System:

Wolfram Language code: $ResourceSystemBase = "https://cloud.example.com";
Wolfram Language code: $ResourceSystemPath
