Talend Component Kit Developer Reference Guide

Gradle Plugin

gradle-talend-component intends to help you to write components validating components match best practices. It is inspired from the Maven plugin and adds the ability to generate automatically the dependencies.txt file the SDK uses to build the component classpath. For more information on the configuration you can check out the maven properties matching the attributes.

Here is how to use it:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "org.talend.sdk.component:gradle-talend-component:${talendComponentVersion}"
  }
}

apply plugin: 'org.talend.sdk.component'
apply plugin: 'java'

// optional customization
talendComponentKit {
    // dependencies.txt generation, replaces maven-dependency-plugin
    dependenciesLocation = "TALEND-INF/dependencies.txt"
    boolean skipDependenciesFile = false;

    // classpath for validation utilities
    sdkVersion = "${talendComponentVersion}"
    apiVersion = "${talendComponentApiVersion}"

    // documentation
    skipDocumentation = false
    documentationOutput = new File(....)
    documentationLevel = 2 // first level will be == in the generated adoc
    documentationTitle = 'My Component Family' // default to project name
    documentationFormats = [:] // adoc attributes
    documentationFormats = [:] // renderings to do

    // validation
    skipValidation = false
    validateFamily = true
    validateSerializable = true
    validateInternationalization = true
    validateModel = true
    validateMetadata = true
    validateComponent = true
    validateDataStore = true
    validateDataSet = true
    validateActions = true

    // web
    serverArguments = []
    serverPort = 8080

    // car
    carOutput = new File(....)
    carMetadata = [:] // custom meta (string key-value pairs)
}
