gradle-dependencies-sorter

This JVM CLI app and companion Gradle plugin can sort the dependencies of a build.gradle[.kts] script.

Usage

CLI

./path/to/sort <path(s) that contain build.gradle[.kts] scripts>

# for example, use this to sort the full repo
./path/to/sort .

# for example, use this to sort a sub-tree
./path/to/sort features

# for example, use this to sort individual files
./path/to/sort my/app/build.gradle[.kts] my/app2/build.gradle[.kts]

# for example, use this to sort a subtree and a file
./path/to/sort features my/app2/build.gradle[.kts]

# Check sort status
./path/to/sort -m check <paths as above>
./path/to/sort --mode check <paths as above>

Gradle plugin

Apply it

// build.gradle[.kts]
plugins {
  id("com.squareup.sort-dependencies") version "<<version>>"
}

Sort it

./gradlew :my:app:sortDependencies

# Identical to the above
./gradlew :my:app:sortDependencies

Check it

./gradlew :my:app:checkSortDependencies

This task is automatically added as a dependency to the check task.

Configure it

sortDependencies {
  // Defines a custom version of the SortDependencies CLI to use
  version.set(/* custom version */)

  // When true, a blank line will be inserted between dependencies of different configurations. Enabled by default.
  insertBlankLines = false

  // true by default, meaning that 'checkSortDependencies' is a dependency of 'check'
  check(true)
}

Test it

./gradlew check

CLI
