Add Gradle dependency

org.openrewrite.gradle.AddDependency
Add a gradle dependency to a build.gradle file in the correct configuration based on where it is used.
Recipe source
​GitHub, Issue Tracker, Maven Central​
groupId: org.openrewrite
artifactId: rewrite-gradle
version: 8.9.5
Options
Type
Name
Description
String
groupId
The first part of a dependency coordinate 'com.google.guava:guava:VERSION'.
String
artifactId
The second part of a dependency coordinate 'com.google.guava:guava:VERSION'
String
version
Optional. An exact version number or node-style semver selector used to select the version number. You can also use latest.release for the latest available version and latest.patch if the current version is a valid semantic version. For more details, you can look at the documentation page of version selectors.
String
versionPattern
Optional. Allows version selection to be extended beyond the original Node Semver semantics. So for example, Setting 'version' to "25-29" can be paired with a metadata pattern of "-jre" to select Guava 29.0-jre
String
configuration
Optional. A configuration to use when it is not what can be inferred from usage. Most of the time this will be left empty, but is used when adding a new as of yet unused dependency.
String
onlyIfUsing
Optional. Used to determine if the dependency will be added and in which scope it should be placed.
String
classifier
Optional. A classifier to add. Commonly used to select variants of a library.
String
extension
Optional. The extension of the dependency to add. If omitted Gradle defaults to assuming the type is "jar".
String
familyPattern
Optional. A pattern, applied to groupIds, used to determine which other dependencies should have aligned version numbers. Accepts '*' as a wildcard character.
Boolean
acceptTransitive
Optional. Default false. If enabled, the dependency will not be added if it is already on the classpath as a transitive dependency.

Usage
This recipe has required configuration parameters. Recipes with required configuration parameters cannot be activated directly. To activate this recipe you must create a new recipe which fills in the required parameters. In your rewrite.yml create a new recipe with a unique name. For example: com.yourorg.AddDependencyExample. Here's how you can define and customize such a recipe within your rewrite.yml:
rewrite.yml
---
type: specs.openrewrite.org/v1beta/recipe
name: com.yourorg.AddDependencyExample
displayName: Add Gradle dependency example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.gradle.AddDependency:
      groupId: com.google.guava
      artifactId: guava
      version: 29.X
      versionPattern: '-jre'
      configuration: implementation
      onlyIfUsing: org.junit.jupiter.api.*
      classifier: test
      extension: jar
      familyPattern: com.fasterxml.jackson*
      acceptTransitive: true
Now that com.yourorg.AddDependencyExample has been defined activate it in your build file:
Gradle
Moderne CLI
1.Add the following to your build.gradle file:
build.gradle
plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.5.6")
}
​
rewrite {
    activeRecipe("com.yourorg.AddDependencyExample")
}
​
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
2.Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.
You will need to have configured the Moderne CLI on your machine before you can run the following command.
shell
mod run . --recipe AddDependency
