Hello everybody! I’ve seen in projects like this the use of Gradle’s build logic but I can’t find any proper article/documentation to understand them so I can apply the concept to my own projects. Can anybody share some article? Thanks 🙏

not kotlin but kotlin colored but for starters look here
https://docs.gradle.org/current/samples/sample_convention_plugins.html

And you can Google „convention plugin“ and will find a lot of resources for this.

Thanks for sharing.
I know I can google that, and I did, but I found a bunch of resources that were old/outdated or subscriber only in Medium for example. I was just wondering if anybody here had one of those great articles that explain everything 🙂 but it’s OK if nobody has, I’ll just keep googling like you suggested

All the resources I found are from Gradle and not outdated 🤷‍♂️

There is a Gradle community slack you can join. https://gradle.org/slack-invite/

I followed Now In Android repository for build logic. There are some links there pointing out to broader explanations behind the concept: https://github.com/android/nowinandroid/tree/main/build-logic

Briefly, convention plugins do eliminate messy if else conditions when we apply via subprojects approach. So you only apply a plugin for those who are demanding(inverse relationship) as well as centralizing gradle logic across the project
