How do you like this approach to organizing dependencies? https://github.com/Darkos-den/BuildScriptSample

Can you give a more precise link? This project has no README, and it's unclear what you're talking about exactly.

I meant extracting dependencies into enum classes and applying them using the extension function

Oh I see. I don't like it for several reasons: 1. ALL_CAPS 2. There's no real benefit to use enums there, no use case to have a

when

expression on them there 3. The version is still hardcoded into the

Versions.kt

file, which means all build cache invalidation on any upgrade because of buildSrc changes impact in Gradle.

1. as far as I know enum and should be denoted like that 2. in my opinion it's better than storing dependencies in strings, do you know the better option? 3. I agree

1. You can use

PascalCase

too, but I don't like that you end up with all caps, regardless of the why, it's noisy in this case and doesn't help reading/inspecting your build files (as a human). 2. Just using constants is better and simpler IMO

for constants you will have to duplicate version numbers

You can use string templates in constants so long as it includes only constants.
