# Description

This directory contains the tools and the data that allows Nix to manage Gradle project dependencies for the app.

# Usage

Simply calling `generate.sh` should result in a `deps.json` file which is used in the derivation that provides Gradle dependencies when building the Android app.

You can see in [`nix/mobile/android/release.nix`](../../mobile/android/release.nix) that it's used via the `-Dmaven.repo.local='${deps.gradle}'` Gradle flag.

# Files

First we have the files that store data on Gradle dependencies:

* `proj.list` - List of projects of which our Gradle project consists.
* `deps.list` - List of dependencies for our project and sub-projects.
* `deps.urls` - List of URLs to POMs for all of the dependencies.
* `deps.json` - Final file containing all of the necessary data for Nix.

Generating scripts:

- `generate.sh` - Main script which generates all the above files.
- `get_projects.sh` - Calls Gradle to get a list of sub-projects.
- `get_deps.sh` - Calls Gradle to get all the dependencies of sub-projects.
- `gradle_parser.awk` - An AWK script that parses above Gradle output.
- `url2json.sh` - Converts the list of URLs into a format consumable by Nix.

Finally we have the Nix derivation in `default.nix` which produces a derivation with all of the Gradle project dependencies:
```
 $ nix-build --no-out-link --attr pkgs.deps.gradle default.nix       
/nix/store/57g95ik19k6gs5w68yid3hzhsax60i3m-status-react-maven-deps

 $ ls -l /nix/store/57g95ik19k6gs5w68yid3hzhsax60i3m-status-react-maven-deps | head -n 5 
total 32

```

# Dependencies

One dependency these scripts require is the [go-maven-resolver](https://github.com/status-im/go-maven-resolver) which turns a list of packages into list of all URLs of POMs for them and their dependencies.
