Gradle Conjure

Gradle Conjure is a build tool which allows defining and generating code for Conjure APIs in Java projects.

Overview

gradle-conjure is a set of Gradle plugins which allow you to define and consume Conjure-defined APIs easily.

• com.palantir.conjure allows API authors to easily define APIs and generate bindings for Java, TypeScript and Python.
• com.palantir.conjure-publish allows API authors to publish a Conjure definition as a single self-contained file.
• com.palantir.conjure-local allows API consumers to locally generate bindings for Conjure API definitions.

com.palantir.conjure

To see how to add gradle-conjure to an existing project, please see our getting started guide.

Tasks

• compileConjure - Generates code for your API definitions in src/main/conjure/**/*.yml
• compileConjureObjects - Generates Java POJOs from your Conjure definitions.
• compileConjureTypeScript - Generates TypeScript files and a package.json from your Conjure definitions.
• compileIr - Converts your Conjure YML files into a single portable JSON file in IR format.
• compileTypeScript - Runs npm tsc to compile generated TypeScript files into JavaScript files.
• publishTypeScript - Runs npm publish to publish a TypeScript package generated from your Conjure definitions.

Extension

com.palantir.conjure also exposes a conjure extension, which allows you to configure the behaviour of each supported generator. You configure the generator by specifying properties in a corresponding named closure. These properties are converted into command line options or flags and passed on to the generator CLI.

The supported closures are:

• java - Configuration for Conjure-Java
• typescript - Configuration for Conjure-TypeScript
• python - Configuration for Conjure-Python

The following is example usage of the extension.

conjure {
    typescript {
        version = "0.0.0"
    }

    java {
        retrofitCompletableFutures = true
    }
}

Service dependencies

To help consumers correlate generated Conjure API artifacts with a real server that implements this API, the com.palantir.conjure plugin supports embedding optional 'service dependencies' in generated artifacts. (Requires gradle-conjure 4.6.2+.)

This information can be defined using the serviceDependencies extension on your API project. You must specify the 'group' and 'name' of the server that implements this API, along with a minimum, maximum and recommended version for the server.

apply plugin: 'com.palantir.conjure'

serviceDependencies {
    serviceDependency {
        productGroup = 'com.palantir.group'
        productName = 'foo'
        minimumVersion = "${project.version}"
        maximumVersion = "${project.version.tokenize('.')[0]}.x.x"
        recommendedVersion = "${project.version}"
    }
}

For conjure-typescript, this information is passed as an extra flag, --productDependencies=your-project/build/service-dependencies.json, which is used to embed information in the resultant package.json.

For conjure-java, this information is directly embedded into the Jar for the -jersey and -retrofit projects. It is stored as a manifest property, Sls-Recommended-Product-Dependencies, which can be detected by sls-packaging.

Typescript

Typescript projects provide generateNpmrc task that generates .npmrc for publishing to configured repository. Credentials are configured using properties username and password and you can provide custom registry with registryUri parameter

generateNpmrc.registryUri = "https://my-custom-registry.com"
generateNpmrc.token = "<registry-token>" // System.env.<TOKEN>

Alternatively you can use username and password and the plugin will perform the login operation to obtain a publish token for you.

generateNpmrc.username = "<username>" // System.env.<USERNAME>
generateNpmrc.password = "<password>" // System.env.<PASSWORD>

com.palantir.conjure-publish

To enable publishing of your API definition for external consumption, add the com.palantir.conjure-publish which applies com.palantir.conjure and also creates a new "conjure" publication.

com.palantir.conjure-local

Tasks

• generateConjure - Generates code for all Conjure dependencies
• generateTypeScript - Generates TypeScript bindings for all Conjure dependencies
• generatePython - Generates Python bindings for all Conjure dependencies
• generate<language> - Task rule which will generates <language> bindings for all Conjure dependencies, where <language> is the name of the generator to be used

Configurations

• conjure - Configuration for adding Conjure API dependencies
• conjureGenerators - Configuration for adding generator dependencies

Using the conjure extension you can depend upon multiple Conjure APIs at once

dependencies {
    conjure 'com.company.product:some-api:1.0.0'
    conjure 'com.company.other.product:other-api:1.0.0'
}

Using the conjureGenerators extension allows you to use use any Conjure generator which conforms to RFC 002

 dependencies {
     conjure 'com.company.product:some-api:1.0.0'
     conjure 'com.company.other.product:other-api:1.0.0'

+    conjureGenerators 'com.palantir.conjure.postman:conjure-postman:0.1.0'
 }

For each generator specified referenced by the configuration you must also add a project with the corresponding name

 include 'conjure-api'
+include 'conjure-api:postman'

com.palantir.conjure-java-local

com.palantir.conjure-java-local helps to generate Java code from the conjure definition other services publish.

apply plugin: 'com.palantir.conjure-java-local'

conjure {
    java {
        addFlag 'objects'
        addFlag 'strictObjects'
        // addFlag 'undertow' as an implementer
        // addFlag 'dialogue' as a consumer
    }
}

dependencies {
    conjure 'com.company.product:some-api@conjure.json'
}

subprojects {
    dependencies {
        // api 'com.palantir.conjure.java:conjure-undertow-lib' as an implementer
        // implementation 'com.palantir.dialogue:dialogue-target' as a consumer
    }
}
