# gradle-monorepo-example

An example of building projects in a monorepo using [Gradle Composite Builds](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/composite_builds.html).

## Repository Structure
The repository contains four projects each with their own Gradle configurations.

Projects A, B, and C have dependencies on one another:

[project-a] -- DEPENDS --> [project-b] -- DEPENDS --> [project-c]
    
Project D has no dependencies on the other projects:
    
    [project-d]

## Running the Example
Follow the steps below to run the example:

### Build Project A
Run the following commands to build [project-a](project-a):

1. Change the working directory to [project-a](project-a):

cd project-a
        
2. Run the following command to generate classes for the project:

./gradlew classes --info
        
    Notice in the command output that [project-b](project-b) and [project-c](project-c) was also configured and built, 
    but [project-d](project-d) was neither configured nor built:

> Configure project :project-b
        Evaluating project ':project-b' using build file '/Users/greg/workspace/gradle-compositebuild-example/project-b/build.gradle'.
        Registering project ':project-b' in composite build. Will substitute for module 'example.gcb.gregwhitaker:project-b'.
        [composite-build] Configuring build: /Users/greg/workspace/gradle-compositebuild-example/project-c
        
        > Configure project :project-c
        Evaluating project ':project-c' using build file '/Users/greg/workspace/gradle-compositebuild-example/project-c/build.gradle'.
        Registering project ':project-c' in composite build. Will substitute for module 'example.gcb.gregwhitaker:project-c'.

## Working in IntelliJ
IntelliJ supports Gradle Composite Builds and will automatically open any included builds for a project.

To see this in action, open [project-a](project-a) in your IntelliJ IDE. You will notice that IntelliJ automatically
opens [project-b](project-d) because it is a dependency of the current project.
