Use String notation for Gradle dependency declarations

org.openrewrite.gradle.DependencyUseStringNotation

In Gradle, dependencies can be expressed as a String like "groupId:artifactId:version", or equivalently as a Map like group: 'groupId', name: 'artifactId', version: 'version'. This recipe replaces dependencies represented as Maps with an equivalent dependency represented as a String.

Usage

This recipe has no required configuration parameters and comes from a rewrite core library. It can be activated directly without adding any dependencies. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Gradle" %} {% code title="build.gradle" %}

plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.1.4")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("org.openrewrite.gradle.DependencyUseStringNotation")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

{% endcode %} {% endtab %}
