0.5.0 - Anvil, Hilt and Missing Binding Visualization support

[arunkumar9t2]

Intellij Plugin is pending approval, in the mean time plugin zip file can be downloaded from the binaries section.

Infra

• Migrated processor artifacts to mavenCentral at dev.arunkumar:scabbard-processor:0.5.0 coordinate.
• Consuming projects no longer need to add jcenter() repository.

Processor

• Scabbard now generates images to StandardLocation.SOURCE_OUTPUT folder which is the same folder as dagger or other annotation processor generated code. This location is by default indexed by IntelliJ/Android Studio and hence fixes issues caused by generated folder not getting indexed earlier thereby no gutter icons. The generated images also can be directly viewed under java (generated) source set.

Missing Binding Visualization.

Scabbard can add hyperlinks to generated full binding graph when Dagger's missing binding error is detected. This requires fullBindingGraphValidation to be set to true. Clicking the component name will open the full binding graph which would contain the missing binding visualization as shown below:

Dagger Hilt

• Updated to support latest generated code changes by Hilt.
• Fix Scabbard not working on a project when only hilt-android-compiler was applied.

Anvil support

• Scabbard will add gutter icons to generated code for @MergeComponent and @MergeSubcomponent annotations
• samples/kotlin-anvil added
• No changes in gradle setup required to enable this feature.

SVG

Gutter icons now shows option to open the svg file in browser directly. From the browser, the svg file can be navigated using component hyperlinks

Dependencies

Update to Kotlin 1.5.0andDagger 2.37`

Misc

• Improved documentation.
