Could this be a good approach?

Untitled.kt

[gildor]

yes, looks better for me to have separate dsl for this

[gildor]

but again, same problem with not configurable configurations. But if you don’t need this, than it’s nice and will work on groovy and kotlin

[Johan Vergeer]

Configuration over simplicity ⚖️

[Johan Vergeer]

Do you have any idea how convert the code snippet to Kotlin?

[gildor]

yes, just create new extension for that

[gildor]

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_plugins.html#sec:getting_input_from_the_build

[gildor]

there is Java code, but Kotlin plugin can convert it to Kotlin

[gildor]

you register new extension and this extension has functions, such as useSpringBootWeb

[Johan Vergeer]

I figured that one out already.

void useSpock(final String version = '0.7-groovy-2.0') {
        project.dependencies {
            testCompile "org.spockframework:spock-core:$version"
        }
    }
`

[Johan Vergeer]

I mean this one.

This is what I’ve got right now

open class SpringDependenciesDsl(private val project: Project) {
    init {
        project.repositories.mavenCentral()
    }

    fun useSpringBoot(version: String = "2.1.0") {
        project.dependencies (???)
    }
