Gradle configuration options


Apollo Android comes with logical defaults that will work for the majority of use cases. If you're getting started, see the getting started guide for an overview of the most common options. This page describes the different options individually.

ApolloExtension, Services and CompilationUnit

The Gradle DSL exposes three types of objects:

  • ApolloExtension is the global entry point of the plugin and will configure global options.

  • A Service is the configuration of a single GraphQL endpoint. If your app uses multiple GraphQL endpoints, you will need to define several services.

  • A CompilationUnit is an invocation of the Apollo compiler. It happens for each Service and Variant in your project.

These 3 objects inherit from CompilerParams and compiler options can be set in all of them. Options set on the most reduced scopes will override those set on the more global scopes:

  • Default compiler parameters are taken from ApolloExtension

  • Compiler parameters from Service override the ones from ApolloExtension

  • Compiler parameters from CompilerUnit override the ones from Service

A complete configuration block with multiple services will look like this:

Groovy
build.gradle
1apollo {
2  // configure ApolloExtension here
3  generateKotlinModels.set(true) // Generate Kotlin models for all services
4
5  service("starwars") {
6    // Overwrite some options here for the starwars Service here if needed
7    sourceFolder = "starwars"
8    rootPackageName = "com.starwars"
9  }
10  service("githunt") {
11    // Overwrite some options here for the githunt Service here if needed
12    sourceFolder = "githunt"
13    rootPackageName = "com.starwars"
14  }
15
16  onCompilationUnit {
17    // Overwrite some options here for single CompilationUnit if needed
18  }
19}

The up-to-date list of options can be found in CompilerParams:
