bigaar

A Gradle plugin to shade dependencies into .aar files.

Installation

Using the `plugins {}` block

Add the pink.madis.bigaar plugin to your plugins block in the library project you want to shade:

plugins {
  id 'pink.madis.bigaar' version '0.1.1'
}

Using the `buildscript {}` block

In your root build.gradle file make sure mavenCentral is in your repositories and add the pink.madis.bigaar:gradle-plugin to your buildscript classpath:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'pink.madis.bigaar:gradle-plugin:0.1.1'
  }
}

Apply the plugin in your library project:

apply plugin: 'pink.madis.bigaar'

Usage

You can configure the plugin using the bigaar extension:

bigaar {
  // required: repackage shaded classes under this prefix, e.g.
  // okio.Sink would become pink.madis.internal.okio.Sink when shaded
  repackagePrefix = "pink.madis.internal"

  // optional: use ignorePrefixes to pass some classes through unshaded
  ignorePrefixes = ["pink.madis"]
}

Roadmap

Contributions welcome!

basic shading of .jar files
support for shading in-module projects
- CAVEAT: currently only works for single-variant in-module projects, like release or debug. See lib-other build.gradle file as an example
handling for shading partial dependency trees (i.e. a shaded lib transitively depends on a non-shaded library)
automatically add proguard consumer rules from input libraries
support for shading in .aar libraries
a few integration tests wouldn't hurt
