am using Kotlin Gradle DSL and am trying to extract local module dependencies into Kotlin object and implement it in build.gradle.kts like this:

object Modules {
    val DependencyHandlerScope.initializer: ProjectDependency
        get() = project(":initializer")
}

and implementation

dependencies {
    implementation(Modules.initializer)
}

but it’s not working, it tries to import Modiles.initializer. is it possible to do it like am trying to?

What you want it is not possible at this moment

[Marko Novakovic]

thank you

[Javier]

The only think you can do is create your own implementation extension function

[Marko Novakovic]

didn’t think of that, I will try it

[Javier]

As I am seeing, you are trying to avoid using project

[Marko Novakovic]

yes

[Javier]

if you take a look to the project accessors feature, you can get this job done automatically and getting generated all your modules

[Marko Novakovic]

just trying out of curiosity

[Marko Novakovic]

can you explain it a bit more?

[Javier]

// settings.gradle.kts (Gradle 7.0+)

enableFeaturePreview("TYPESAFE_PROJECT_ACCESSORS")

include(":project-one")
include(":project-two")

// build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
    implementation(projects.projectOne)
    implementation(projects.projectTwo)
}

[Javier]

projects.ProjectOne and so on are generated automatically

[Marko Novakovic]

thank you

[Marko Novakovic]

I understand
