Gradm (Gradle dependencies manager)

gradm's Issues

Support Gradle configuration cache

Wait for gradle/gradle#13506 to be fixed.
See also https://docs.gradle.org/8.1/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:not_yet_implemented:source_dependencies.

Remove more restrictions on versions

Currently, Gradm doesn't support the below config in gradm.yaml:

versions:
  androidx:
    compose: "1.2.0-beta03" # supported, versions.androidx.compose
    composeMaterial3: "1.0.0-alpha13" # supported, versions.androidx.composeMaterial3
    compose-material3: "1.0.0-alpha13" # unsupported, expect: versions.androidx.compose.material3
    compose.material3: "1.0.0-alpha13" # unsupported, expect: versions.androidx.compose.material3

Support Bill of Materials (BOM)

Currently, our configuration for BOM in build.gradle.kts will be like this:

dependencies {
    compileOnly(platform(okhttp.bom))
    compileOnly(okhttp)
    compileOnly(okhttp.dnsOverHttps)
    compileOnly(okhttp.interceptor.logging)
}

This looks a bit ugly. We could take advantage of kotlinpoet! And it can be like this:

dependencies {
    compileOnly(okhttp.bom)
    compileOnly(okhttp)
    compileOnly(okhttp.dnsOverHttps)
    compileOnly(okhttp.interceptor.logging)
}

I thought I could make it in the beginning. But the version of kotlinpoet that supports context receivers starts at 1.12.0, and its bundle Kotlin version is 1.7.0. This suddenly makes Gradle unhappy. Thus, I'm unhappy too. :(

Such a "dependencies hell" again! People are always facing and being fxxked by the "dependencies hell." Now we could only stare at this 509a9c9 and pray Gradle will update its bundled Kotlin to 1.7.x soon, which is impossible. :(

Supports unseparated independent alias

Currently, Gradm doesn't support unseparated independent alias.

For example:

dependencies:
  google:
    com.google.android.material:
      material:
        alias: material # codegen issue here
        version: ${versions.material}

You can use the below code as a workaround:

dependencies:
  google:
    com.google.android.material:
      material:
        alias: google.material # works as long as alias contains a dot (or more than one dot)
        version: ${versions.material}

Type-safe project accessors substitution

Type-safe project accessors are great, but the same issue here. The generated is fully Java, with poor readability. And when the name of the composite builds module is the same as that of the main project module, IDEA will prompt an error, but the project can still be successfully compiled.

See also gradle/gradle#24295.

Here is a reproduced example: https://github.com/Omico/gradle-typesafe-accessors-bug.

A prototype implementation can be found at https://github.com/Omico/Gradm/tree/type-safe-project-accessors.

IntelliJ IDEA plugin support

It's still in the early preview stage. Available at https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/22554-gradm

Gradm 2.x

May be changed at any time

Accomplished

More compact format for config (#7)

This new format will take advantage of IDEs' language check to prevent duplicate definitions. Also, this will remove more restrictions on aliases.

repositories:
  google:
    url: https://maven.google.com/
  mavenCentral:
    url: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/

dependencies:
  mavenCentral:
    com.google.accompanist:
      accompanist-insets:
        alias: accompanist.insets
        version: ${versions.accompanist}
      accompanist-insets-ui:
        alias: accompanist.insetsUi
        version: ${versions.accompanist}
      accompanist-permissions:
        alias: accompanist.permissions
        version: ${versions.accompanist}
      accompanist-swiperefresh:
        alias: accompanist.swipeRefresh
        version: ${versions.accompanist}
      accompanist-systemuicontroller:
        alias: accompanist.systemUiController
        version: ${versions.accompanist}
    com.squareup.okhttp3:
      logging-interceptor:
        alias: okhttp3.interceptor.logging
        version: ${versions.okhttp}
      okhttp3:
        alias: okhttp3
        version: ${versions.okhttp}
      okhttp-dnsoverhttps:
        alias: okhttp3.dnsOverHttps
        version: ${versions.okhttp}

New local storage format

The new local storage API will provide the ability to share Maven metadata between projects and better corporate with the IntelliJ plugin. The data will be stored at $HOME/.gradm/.metadata.

Support custom build.gradle.kts for generated dependencies

This can improve the development experience and make Gradm more customizable.
