LayerConfig

abstract class LayerConfig @Inject constructor(val name: String, val declarationOrder: Int, objects: ObjectFactory)(source)

Configures a single architectural layer inside the layers { } block.

aalekh {
    layers {
        layer("domain") {
            modules(":core:domain", ":feature:*:domain")
        }
        layer("data") {
            modules(":core:data", ":feature:*:data")
            canOnlyDependOn("domain")
        }
        layer("presentation") {
            modules(":feature:*:ui", ":app")
            canOnlyDependOn("domain", "data")
        }
    }
}

Module patterns support a single * wildcard matching one path segment, and ** matching any number of segments.

Parameters

name

The layer name, unique within the block.

declarationOrder

Zero-based position of this layer in the layers { } block. Gradle's named container iterates alphabetically, which would make an overlapping-pattern resolution - and the order the report draws the swimlanes in - depend on layer spelling rather than on how the architecture was written down. Aalekh sorts by this instead, so domain, data, presentation stays in that order everywhere.
