hello! what is the proper way to share constants (e.g. some common dependency version) between gradle modules, e.g. given

project
| build.gradle.kts
|- childA
  | build.gradle.kts
|- childB
  | build.gradle.kts

how can i define some values in root build file so i can reference them from child modules build files? If I define them as val it works fine in single file but cannot be accessed outside. Guess I'm looking for K equivalent of ext block from Groovy

nvm should have searched for it -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45753733/ext-in-buildscript-can-not-be-recognised-by-gradle-kotlin-dsl

You could also use buildSrc to have everything compile-time checked

[Dariusz Kuc]

just to double check -> without going with the buildSrc route I will need to redefine the val someLibVersion: String by extra in all build files?

[mbonnin]

I usually just use val someLibVersion = project.extra["someLibVersion"]

[Dariusz Kuc]

same thing I guess
