Libraries
Table of Contents
When we talk about poly libraries, we refer to 3rd-party library dependencies used by components, bases, and projects.
For poly brick dependencies, see Dependencies.
Tutorial Setup
We explored brick dependencies using the Realworld example app; we’ll continue with the same workspace to explore libraries.
Reporting
Ask poly to report on 3rd-party libraries:
Notice that poly has reported on library usage across all:
-
projects in purple -
rbis the alias for therealworld-backendproject, anddevis the alias for thedevelopmentproject. The dependencies for a project also include the dependencies for its bricks. If different versions of a library are referenced,polywill use the latest version of that library. -
components in green
-
bases in blue
An x means that the library is used from the src context, and t means that it’s only used from the test context.
The type column describes where the library is hosted. See Library Dependency Types.
The KB column shows the size of each library in kilobytes.
A - means poly could not calculate the library size because either:
-
the library has not been downloaded yet
If your workspace has many bricks, you may prefer a more compact report format.
You can either set :compact-views to #{"libs"} in your workspace.edn or specify the :compact argument:
poly libs :compact
Updating
You can list outdated libraries:
poly libs :outdatedYour output will differ. Here’s an example output where some libraries were out of date:
You can ask poly to update all libraries to the latest version in all deps.edn for all bricks and projects via:
poly libs :updateTo update specific libraries:
poly libs :update libraries:djblue/portal:com.taoensso/timbre
When using the shell, poly will, after a short pause, offer autocomplete suggestions for libraries!
|
To skip updating specific libraries, specify :keep-lib-versions in your workspace.edn, e.g.:
{...
:bricks {"article" {:keep-lib-versions [djblue/portal]}}}
:projects {"realworld-backend" {:alias "rb"
:keep-lib-versions [clj-jwt/clj-jwt clj-time/clj-time]}Library Dependency Types
You can specify libraries in three ways in tools.deps deps.edn files:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Maven | As a Maven dependency, e.g.: The key is the Maven |
Local | As a local dependency, e.g.: The key is an arbitrary identifier. A local dependency is a path to a local jar file or directory. See also: Local Dependencies. |
Git | As a Git dependency, e.g.: The |
Configuration
3rd-party library dependencies are specified in deps.edn for each component, base, and project:
| Entity | File | Scope | Location in File |
|---|---|---|---|
Components |
| src |
|
test |
| ||
Bases |
| src |
|
test |
| ||
Deployable projects |
| src |
|
test |
| ||
Development project |
| src |
|
test |
|
Local Dependencies
Distinguishing from Bricks
You’ll remember that you also specify bricks and projects as :local/root dependencies.
The poly tool distinguishes brick dependencies from local 3rd-party library dependencies by their paths.
The poly tool understands that when a :local/root path starts with:
-
../../bases/or../../components/for deployable projects -
or
bases/orcomponents/for the development project
that it is a poly brick dependency; otherwise, it is considered a 3rd-party library dependency.
Differences from Tools.deps
When using the tools.deps CLI (i.e. clojure or clj), :local/root dependencies only inherit :src dependencies; :test dependencies are ignored.
The poly tool builds upon tools.deps but has its own test runner that it invokes for the test command.
Unlike the tools.deps CLI, the poly also inherits dependencies from the test context for :local/root dependencies.
If you want to run your tests directly from a project using the tools.deps CLI tool, you must duplicate test library dependencies from the bricks to the project’s deps.edn file under :aliases > :test > :extra-deps.
If you only run tests with the built-in test command, you don’t have to worry about this.
Project Library Dependencies
The library dependencies for a project are the sum of all library dependencies that are indirectly included via its bricks, together with dependencies declared by the project itself.
If different versions of the same library dependency exist, then poly will use the latest version.
You can override the library version used for a project in its deps.edn file.
For example:
./projects/realworld-backend/deps.edn
{...
:deps {poly/article {:local/root "../../components/article"}
poly/comment {:local/root "../../components/comment"}
poly/database {:local/root "../../components/database"}
...
:override-deps {clj-time/clj-time {:mvn/version "0.15.1"}} (1)
...
}| 1 | Override version of clj-time/clj-time for this project |
If you re-run the libs command:
Notice that two versions of clj-time are listed and that the realworld-backend project now uses version 0.15.1.
You can override project library dependencies for projects via :override-deps in the following places:
| Entity | File | Scope | Location in File |
|---|---|---|---|
Deployable projects |
| src |
|
test |
| ||
Development project |
| src |
|
test |
|
Overriding a library in the src scope will also affect the test scope.
If you override a library in the test scope, it will only affect the test scope.
