Interface ComponentMetadataHandler

@Incubating public interface ComponentMetadataHandler
Allows the build to provide rules that modify the metadata of depended-on software components.

Possible uses of component metadata rules are:

  • Setting the status and status scheme of a component, overriding the value specified in the component descriptor.
  • Declaring whether or not a component is 'changing', thus impacting the cache behaviour of the component.

Example: 

dependencies {
    components {
        // Set the status and status scheme for every component belonging to a module in the group "org.foo"
        all { ComponentMetadataDetails details ->
            if (details.id.group == "org.foo") {
                def version = details.id.version
                // assuming status is last part of version string
                details.status = version.substring(version.lastIndexOf("-") + 1)
                details.statusScheme = ["bronze", "silver", "gold", "platinum"]
            }
        }

        // Treat all components in the module "org.foo:bar" as changing
        withModule("org.foo:bar") { ComponentMetadataDetails details ->
            details.changing = true
        }
    }
}

  • Method Details

    • all

      ComponentMetadataHandler all(Action<? super ComponentMetadataDetails> rule)
      Adds a rule action that may modify the metadata of any resolved software component.
      Parameters:
      rule - the rule to be added
      Returns:
      this

    • all

      ComponentMetadataHandler all(Closure<?> rule)
      Adds a rule closure that may modify the metadata of any resolved software component.

      The supplied rule closure must declare a ComponentMetadataDetails as it's first parameter, allowing the component metadata to be modified.

      In addition, the rule can declare additional (read-only) parameters, which may provide extra details about the component. The order of these additional parameters is not significant.

      The following additional parameter types are supported:

      • IvyModuleDescriptor - additional Ivy-specific metadata. Rules declaring this parameter will only be invoked for components packaged as an Ivy module.
      Parameters:
      rule - the rule to be added
      Returns:
      this

    • all

      ComponentMetadataHandler all(Object ruleSource)
      Adds a rule that may modify the metadata of any resolved software component.

      The ruleSource is an Object that has a single rule method annotated with Mutate.

      This rule method:

      Parameters:
      ruleSource - the rule source object to be added
      Returns:
      this

    • withModule

      ComponentMetadataHandler withModule(Object id, Action<? super ComponentMetadataDetails> rule)
      Adds a rule that may modify the metadata of any resolved software component belonging to the specified module.
      Parameters:
      id - the module to apply this rule to in "group:module" format or as a ModuleIdentifier
      rule - the rule to be added
      Returns:
      this

    • withModule

      ComponentMetadataHandler withModule(Object id, Closure<?> rule)
      Adds a rule that may modify the metadata of any resolved software component belonging to the specified module.

      The rule closure parameter is subject to the same requirements as all(groovy.lang.Closure).

      Parameters:
      id - the module to apply this rule to in "group:module" format or as a ModuleIdentifier
      rule - the rule to be added
      Returns:
      this

    • withModule

      ComponentMetadataHandler withModule(Object id, Object ruleSource)
      Adds a rule that may modify the metadata of any resolved software component belonging to the specified module.

      The rule source parameter is subject to the same requirements as all(Object).

      Parameters:
      id - the module to apply this rule to in "group:module" format or as a ModuleIdentifier
      ruleSource - the rule source object to be added
      Returns:
      this
