Smithy Gradle Plugins

This project provides plugins to integrate Smithy with Gradle. These plugins can build artifacts from Smithy models, generate JARs that contain Smithy models found in Java projects, and generate JARs that contain filtered projections of Smithy models.

• smithy-base plugin: This plugin configures the basic source sets and configurations for a Smithy project. It also creates the base smithyBuild task for the project that builds the Smithy models in the project.
• smithy-jar plugin: Adds built Smithy files to an existing jar task such as that created by the Java or Kotlin plugins. The smithy-jar plugin also adds build metadata and tags to the JAR's MANIFEST. The smithy-jar plugin applies the smithy-base plugin when it is applied.

Examples

Standalone examples are available for each of the provided plugins and can be found in the examples directory. In addition to serving as documentation, these examples are run as an integration tests for the plugins.

These examples can be copied into your workspace using the smithy init command line tool as follows:

smithy init -t <EXAMPLE_NAME> -o <OUTPUT_DIRECTORY> --url https://github.com/smithy-lang/smithy-gradle-plugin

You can list all examples available in this repository as follows:

smithy init --list --url https://github.com/smithy-lang/smithy-gradle-plugin

Note: If you do not have the Smithy CLI installed, follow the installation guide to install it now.

Plugins

Smithy Base Plugin

The smithy-base plugin is a capability plugin primarily intended to be applied by other Smithy gradle plugins such as codegen plugins and the smithy-jar plugin.

This plugin sets up the smithy source set extension and the required smithyCli and smithyBuild configurations. The smithy-base plugin will also create a smithyBuild task to build the models for the main component of the project if a main sourceSet is configured for the project.

Note: The smithy-base plugin does not create any sourceSets on its own and will not set up a smithyBuild task unless another plugin sets up a main sourceSet.

Usage

This plugin can be applied to a project as follows:

// build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    id("software.amazon.smithy.gradle.smithy-base").version("1.0.0")
}

However, no tasks will be created unless. See the examples directory for examples of using this plugin.

Smithy Jar Plugin

The smithy-jar plugin will build Smithy models for a project and add Smithy models to an existing jar task within the project.

This plugin is primarily intended for the following use cases:

• Including Smithy models alongside custom trait definitions in Java or another language.
• Packaging common Smithy models or validators into a JAR for consumption by other Smithy projects
• Including Smithy models in Smithy build plugin packages

Usage

The smithy-jar plugin must be used with another plugin that creates a jar task. For example,

// build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    id("java-library") // creates jar task
    id("software.amazon.smithy.gradle.smithy-jar").version("1.0.0")
}

See the examples directory for examples of using this plugin.

Configuration

Customizing source directories

Smithy gradle plugins assumes Smithy model files (*.smithy) are organized in a similar way as Java source files, in sourceSets. The smithy-base plugin adds a new sources block named smithy to every sourceSet. By default, this source block will include Smithy models in model/,src/$sourceSetName/smithy andsrc/$sourceSetName/resources/META-INF/smithy. New source directories can be added to a smithy sources block as follows:

// build.gradle.kts
sourceSets {
    main {
        smithy {
            srcDir("includes/")
        }
    }
}

Customize output directory

By default, Smithy build artifacts will be placed in the project build directory in a smithyprojections/ directory. There are two ways to override the output directory. The first method is to set the outputDirectory property in the smithy-build.json config for your Smithy project. For example:

# smithy-build.json
{
    "outputDirectory": "build/output",
    ...
} 

The output directory can also be set explicitly configured for the plugin:

// build.gradle.kts
smithy {
    outputDirectory.set(file("path/to/output"))
}

Note: Setting the output directory on the plugin extension will override any outputDirectory property set in the smithy-build config.

Smithy Build Dependencies

The smithy-base plugin adds a smithyBuild configuration that can be used to specify dependencies that will only be used for calling smithy build but will not be included in any generated JARs.

// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
    smithyBuild("com.example.software:build-only:1.0.0")
}

Set smithy-build configs to use

By default, the plugin will look for a file called smithy-build.json at the project's root and will use that as the smithy-build config for your project. If no smithy-build.json file is found then a default empty build config is used to build the project.

Alternatively, you can explicitly configure one or more smithy-build configs to use for your project as follows:

// build.gradle.kts
smithy { 
    smithyBuildConfigs.set(files("smithy-build-config.json"))
}

Set Smithy Tags to add to a JAR

When the smithy-jar plugin is applied to a project it can add a number of Smithy tags to the MANIFEST of a generated JAR. These tags can be used by downstream consumers to filter which models to include in projections. Tags can be configured for the plugin as follows:

// build.gradle.kts 
smithy {
    tags.addAll("tag1", "anotherTag", "anotherTag2")
}

Fork a new process when executing Smithy CLI commands

By default, Smithy CLI commands are run in the same process as Gradle, but inside a thread with a custom class loader. This should work in most cases, but there is an option to run inside a process if necessary. To run Smithy CLI commands in a process set the fork configuration option to true:

// build.gradle.kts
smithy {
    fork.set(true)
}

Disable Smithy Formatter

By default, the smithy format CLI command is executed on all source directories. This opinionated formatter follows the best practices recommended by the Smithy team. It is possible to disable the formatter by setting the format setting on the plugin extension to false:

// build.gradle.kts 
smithy {
    format.set(false)
}
