gradle plugin `ru.tutu.dependencies2files`

Helps to save dependencies in files, and use them offline later.
Main goal to save unique jcenter() dependencies to latter usage.

1. Configure plugin

Usage in build.gradle

plugins {
  id("ru.tutu.dependencies2files") version "0.3.0"
}
//...
repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  // add proxy repository to save unique jcenter() dependencies:
  dependenciesToFiles.addRepository(it) {
    saveJcenter()
  }
}

Usage in build.gradle.kts

plugins {
  id("ru.tutu.dependencies2files") version "0.3.0"
}
//...
repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  // add proxy repository to save unique jcenter() dependencies:
  dependenciesToFiles.addRepository(this) {
    saveJcenter()
  }
}

2. Build your project

Compile or build your project, sync IDE with Gradle. Use all cases you want to work with desired dependencies. Also, it'is better use gradle cli option --refresh-dependencies.

3. Commit to git

Better to commit all saved dependencies to git. By default all dependencies will saved to save_dependencies dir.

4. Remove plugin and use mavenLocal instead

Instead dependenciesToFiles.addRepository(...) you may use mavenLocal with custom dir:

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  mavenLocal {
    url = uri("${rootProject.projectDir}/save_dependencies")
  }
}

5. Check how it works without plugin

Now you may check how saved dependencies will work with your build. Sync IDE, compile your project. Good luck in future!

Advanced usage

Also you may configure plugin in extension:

dependenciesToFiles {
  saveDependenciesDir = "another_directory"
  offlineMode = false // you may check dependencies availability with offline toggle
}
