ComponentMetadataHandler

API Documentation:ComponentMetadataHandler

Note: This class is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

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

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

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.

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

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:

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Adds a rule action that may modify the metadata of any resolved software component.

ComponentMetadataHandler withModule(Object id, Closure<?> rule)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

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 ComponentMetadataHandler.all().

ComponentMetadataHandler withModule(Object id, Object ruleSource)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

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 ComponentMetadataHandler.all().

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Adds a rule that may modify the metadata of any resolved software component belonging to the specified module.
