# Aspect Recommended Bazel Options

The Bazel options found here are the source-of-truth for our recommended set of settings.
The `.bazelrc` files found here are the source-of-truth for our recommended Bazel options.

They are mirrored on our docsite at https://docs.aspect.build/guides/bazelrc.

## Using these Bazel options in your project

To use these files in your project, simply vendor them in and reference them from your `.bazelrc` file.

For example,

```
# Import Aspect recommended Bazel convenience settings for all projects
import %workspace%/.aspect/bazelrc/convenience.bazelrc
# Import Aspect recommended Bazel correctness settings for all projects
import %workspace%/.aspect/bazelrc/correctness.bazelrc
# Import Aspect recommended Bazel performance settings for all projects
import %workspace%/.aspect/bazelrc/performance.bazelrc
# Import Aspect recommended Bazel debug settings for all projects
import %workspace%/.aspect/bazelrc/debug.bazelrc
# Import Aspect recommended Bazel javascript settings for all projects
import %workspace%/.aspect/bazelrc/javascript.bazelrc
# Import Aspect recommended Bazel 6 settings for all projects
import %workspace%/.aspect/bazelrc/bazel6.bazelrc
### YOUR PROJECT SPECIFIC SETTINGS GO HERE ###
# Load any settings & overrides specific to the current user from `.aspect/bazelrc/user.bazelrc`.
# This file should appear in `.gitignore` so that settings are not shared with team members. This
# should be last statement in this config so the user configuration is able to overwrite flags from
# this file. See https://bazel.build/configure/best-practices#bazelrc-file.
try-import %workspace%/.aspect/bazelrc/user.bazelrc
```

## Automatic updates

A convenient way to automatically keep your vendored copy up-to-date is to use
[`write_source_files`](https://docs.aspect.build/rules/aspect_bazel_lib/docs/write_source_files):

```
load("@aspect_bazel_lib//lib:write_source_files.bzl", "write_source_files")
# Keep up-to-date with Aspect recommended .bazelrc settings.
# See https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/tree/main/.aspect/bazelrc for the most up to date
# version of Aspect's recommended Bazel options. These are mirrored on our
# [docsite](https://docs.aspect.build/guides/bazelrc) for easier consumption.
write_source_files(
name = "update_aspect_recommended_bazel_options",
files = {
"bazel5.bazelrc": "@aspect_bazel_lib//.aspect/bazelrc:bazel5.bazelrc",
"bazel6.bazelrc": "@aspect_bazel_lib//.aspect/bazelrc:bazel6.bazelrc",
"ci.bazelrc": "@aspect_bazel_lib//.aspect/bazelrc:ci.bazelrc",
"convenience.bazelrc": "@aspect_bazel_lib//.aspect/bazelrc:convenience.bazelrc",
"correctness.bazelrc": "@aspect_bazel_lib//.aspect/bazelrc:correctness.bazelrc",
"debug.bazelrc": "@aspect_bazel_lib//.aspect/bazelrc:debug.bazelrc",
"javascript.bazelrc": "@aspect_bazel_lib//.aspect/bazelrc:javascript.bazelrc",
"performance.bazelrc": "@aspect_bazel_lib//.aspect/bazelrc:performance.bazelrc",
},
)
```

When `@aspect_bazel_lib` is upgraded in your `WORKSPACE.bazel` or your `MODULE.bazel` file, a `diff_test`
stamped out by `write_source_files` will fail if your vendored copy is out-of-date and print the Bazel command
to run to update it. For example, `bazel run //.aspect/bazelrc:aspect_recommended_bazel_options`.

See the [bazelrc](https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-examples/blob/main/bazelrc/.aspect/bazelrc/BUILD.bazel) example
in our [bazel-examples](https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-examples) repository for a working example.
