How to centralize artifact library versions?

[necatisozer]

When I use built-in Hilt dependencies

implementation(Google.dagger.hilt.android)
kapt(Google.dagger.hilt.compiler)

this is generated in versions.properties

version.google.dagger=2.35.1

However when I use these dependencies

io.github.reactivecircus.flowbinding:flowbinding-android:_
io.github.reactivecircus.flowbinding:flowbinding-appcompat:_

these are generated in versions.properties

version.io.github.reactivecircus.flowbinding..flowbinding-android=1.0.0

version.io.github.reactivecircus.flowbinding..flowbinding-appcompat=1.0.0

Is there any way to centralize these versions?

There are rules embedded in the plugin, see here https://github.com/jmfayard/refreshVersions/tree/main/plugins/dependencies/src/main/resources/refreshVersions-rules

You can add your own rules with extraArtifactVersionKeyRules()

https://jmfayard.github.io/refreshVersions/setup/#configure-the-plugin

for example

// settings.gradle.kts
refreshVersions {
    extraArtifactVersionKeyRules(file("refreshVersions-extra-rules.txt"))
}

In the file refreshVersions-extra-rules.txt

org.apache.poi:poi(-*)
    ^^^^^^.^^^

the key generated will be version.apache.poi

Got it. Thank you.

I want to provide a simpler API for rules.
No promise for when that will come but you can have a look here
