Provide a build convention plugin for command line tools, and use
`libs.versions.toml` for command line tool dependencies. Adjust the
individual tool `build.gradle.kts` files accordingly.
Remove unnecessary `gradle.properties` and `settings.gradle` files for
projects that are included as subprojects, not included builds.
Add a trivial test for each command line tool so there are tests to run
and provide some confidence that automated library upgrades don't break
command line tool compilation.
The existing code base is a single monolithic module. This is relatively
simple to configure, but many of the tasks to compile the module and
produce the final app have to run in series.
This is unnecessarily slow.
This change starts to split the code in to multiple modules, which are:
- :core:account - AccountManager, to break a dependency cycle
- :core:common - low level types or utilities used in many other modules
- :core:database - database types, DAOs, and DI infrastructure
- :core:network - network types, API definitions, and DI infrastructure
- :core:preferences - shared preferences definitions and DI
infrastructure
- :core:testing - fakes and rules used across different modules
Benchmarking with gradle-profiler shows a ~ 17% reduction in incremental
build times after an ABI change. That will improve further as more code
is moved to modules.
The rough mechanics of the changes are:
- Create the modules, and move existing files in to them. This causes a
lot of churn in import arguments.
- Convert build.gradle files to build.gradle.kts
- Separate out the data required to display a tab (`TabViewData`) from
the data required to configure a tab (`TabData`) to avoid circular
dependencies.
- Abstract the repeated build logic shared between the modules in to
a set of plugins under `build-logic/`, to simplify configuration of
the application and library builds.
- Be explicit that some nullable types are non-null at time of use.
Nullable properties in types imported from modules generally can't be
smart cast to non-null. There's a detailed discussion of why this
restriction exists at
https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/what-is-the-reason-behind-smart-cast-being-impossible-to-perform-when-referenced-class-is-in-another-module/2201.
The changes highlight design problems with the current code, including:
- The main application code is too tightly coupled to the network types
- Too many values are declared unnecessarily nullable
- Dependency cycles between code that make modularisation difficult
Future changes will add more modules.
See #291.
- Rename packages to app.pachli.*
- Switch to Pachli icons (blue / orange)
- Reset database schema version to 1
- Reset versionCode to 1 and versionName to "1.0"
- Update colour scheme, use colorPrimary etc through the app
- Use Material UI components for toolbars
- Use "Pachli" in strings (UI, constants, etc)
- Update copyright on code I contributed
- Update README
- Update fastlane metadata
The existing language list is incomplete, sorted incorrectly and does
not use the correct language names.
Add a small tool that parses the resource directories that contain
string translations, determines the correct language name and sort
order, and updates the correct application resources so language
lists are displayed correctly.
