gradle-buildconfig-plugin

A plugin for generating BuildConstants for any kind of Gradle projects: Java, Kotlin, Groovy, etc. Designed for KTS scripts, with experimental support for Kotlin's multi-platform plugin

Usage in KTS

On your build.gradle.kts add:

plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm") version "1.3.21"
    id("com.github.gmazzo.buildconfig") version <current version>
}

buildConfig {
    buildConfigField("String", "APP_NAME", "\"${project.name}\"")
    buildConfigField("String", "APP_SECRET", "\"Z3JhZGxlLWphdmEtYnVpbGRjb25maWctcGx1Z2lu\"")
    buildConfigField("long", "BUILD_TIME", "${System.currentTimeMillis()}L")
    buildConfigField("boolean", "FEATURE_ENABLED", "${true}")
    buildConfigField("IntArray", "MAGIC_NUMBERS", "intArrayOf(1, 2, 3, 4)")
    buildConfigField("com.github.gmazzo.SomeData", "MY_DATA", "new SomeData(\"a\",1)")
}

Will generate BuildConfig.kt:

object BuildConfig {
    const val APP_NAME: String = "example-kts"

    const val APP_SECRET: String = "Z3JhZGxlLWphdmEtYnVpbGRjb25maWctcGx1Z2lu"

    const val BUILD_TIME: Long = 1551108377126L

    const val FEATURE_ENABLED: Boolean = true

    val MAGIC_NUMBERS: IntArray = intArrayOf(1, 2, 3, 4)

    val MY_DATA: SomeData = SomeData("a",1)

    val RESOURCE_CONFIG_LOCAL_PROPERTIES: File = File("config/local.properties")

    val RESOURCE_CONFIG_PROD_PROPERTIES: File = File("config/prod.properties")

    val RESOURCE_FILE2_JSON: File = File("file2.json")

    val RESOURCE_FILE1_JSON: File = File("file1.json")
}

Usage in Groovy

On your build.gradle add:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'com.github.gmazzo.buildconfig' version <current version>
}

buildConfig {
    buildConfigField('String', 'APP_NAME', "\"${project.name}\"")
    buildConfigField('String', 'APP_SECRET', "\"Z3JhZGxlLWphdmEtYnVpbGRjb25maWctcGx1Z2lu\"")
    buildConfigField('long', 'BUILD_TIME', "${System.currentTimeMillis()}L")
    buildConfigField('boolean', 'FEATURE_ENABLED', "${true}")
    buildConfigField('int[]', 'MAGIC_NUMBERS', '{1, 2, 3, 4}')
    buildConfigField("com.github.gmazzo.SomeData", "MY_DATA", "new SomeData(\"a\",1)")
}

Will generate BuildConfig.java:

public final class BuildConfig {
  public static final String APP_NAME = "example-groovy";

  public static final String APP_SECRET = "Z3JhZGxlLWphdmEtYnVpbGRjb25maWctcGx1Z2lu";

  public static final long BUILD_TIME = 1550999393550L;

  public static final boolean FEATURE_ENABLED = true;

  public static final int[] MAGIC_NUMBERS = {1, 2, 3, 4};

  public static final SomeData MY_DATA = new SomeData("a",1);

  private BuildConfig() {
  }
}

Customizing the class

If you add in your build.gradle.kts:

buildConfig {
    className("MyConfig")   // forces the class name. Defaults to 'BuildConfig'
    packageName("com.foo")  // forces the package. Defaults to '${project.group}'

    useJavaOutput()                                 // forces the outputType to 'java'
    useKotlinOutput()                               // forces the outputType to 'kotlin', generating an `object`
    useKotlinOutput { topLevelConstants = true }    // forces the outputType to 'kotlin', generating top-level declarations
    useKotlinOutput { internalVisibility = true }   // adds `internal` modifier to all declarations
}

Will generate com.foo.MyConfig in a MyConfig.java file.

Secondary classes

Sometimes one generated does not fits your needs or code style. You may add multiple classes with the following syntax:

buildConfig {
    buildConfigField("String", "FIELD1", "\"field1\"")

    forClass("OtherClass") {
        buildConfigField("String", "FIELD2", "\"field2\"")
    }

    forClass(packageName = "", className = "RootConfig") {
        buildConfigField("String", "FIELD3", "\"field3\"")
    }
}

Will generate the files:

com.github.gmazzo.BuildConfig
com.github.gmazzo.OtherClass
RootConfig (in the root package)

Generate top-level constants

On your build.gradle.kts add:

buildConfig {
    outputFormat("kotlinFile")
    // or
    outputFormat = BuildConfigGenerator.KOTLIN_FILE

    buildConfigField("String", "APP_NAME", "\"${project.name}\"")
    buildConfigField("String", "APP_VERSION", "\"0.0.1\"")
}

Will generate BuildConfig.kt:

const val APP_NAME: String = "example-kts"

const val APP_VERSION: String = "0.0.1"
}

Advanced

Generate constants for 'test' sourceSet (or any)

If you add in your build.gradle.kts:

buildConfig {
    sourceSets.getByName("test") {
        buildConfigField("String", "TEST_CONSTANT", "\"aTestValue\"")
    }
}

Will generate in TestBuildConfig.kt:

object TestBuildConfig {
    const val TEST_CONSTANT: String = "aTestValue"
}

Or in Groovy:

sourceSets {
    test {
        buildConfigField('String', 'TEST_CONSTANT', '"aTestValue"')
    }
}

Generate constants from resources files

Assuming you have the following structure:

myproject
- src
  - main
    - resources
      - config
        - local.properties
        - prod.properties
      - file1.json
      - file1.json

If you add in your build.gradle.kts:

val generateBuildConfig by tasks

task("generateResourcesConstants") {
    val buildResources = buildConfig.forClass("BuildResources")

    doFirst {
        sourceSets["main"].resources.asFileTree.visit(Action<FileVisitDetails> {
            val name = path.toUpperCase().replace("\\W".toRegex(), "_")

            buildResources.buildConfigField("java.io.File", name, "File(\"$path\")")
        })
    }

    generateBuildConfig.dependsOn(this)
}

Will generate in BuildResources.kt:

object BuildResources {
    val CONFIG_LOCAL_PROPERTIES: File = File("config/local.properties")

    val CONFIG_PROD_PROPERTIES: File = File("config/prod.properties")

    val FILE1_JSON: File = File("file1.json")

    val FILE2_JSON: File = File("file2.json")
}

Or in Groovy:

task("generateResourcesConstants") {
    def buildResources = buildConfig.forClass("BuildResources")

    doFirst {
        sourceSets["main"].resources.asFileTree.visit { file ->
            def name = file.path.toUpperCase().replaceAll("\\W", "_")

            buildResources.buildConfigField("java.io.File", name, "new File(\"$file.path\")")
        }
    }

    generateBuildConfig.dependsOn(it)
}

Will generate in BuildResources.java:

  public static final File CONFIG_LOCAL_PROPERTIES = new File("config/local.properties");

  public static final File CONFIG_PROD_PROPERTIES = new File("config/prod.properties");

  public static final File FILE2_JSON = new File("file2.json");

  public static final File FILE1_JSON = new File("file1.json");
