Dependency Management with Zinley
Zinley’s Dependency Management ensures seamless handling of your project’s dependencies, whether automatically during coding tasks or on demand through direct commands. This flexibility allows you to focus on development without worrying about dependency issues.
How Dependency Management Works
Automated Dependency Detection
The Dependency Agent in Zinley automatically detects and manages dependencies when assisting with coding tasks.
For example, if you request to build or run a project, the agent will:
- Analyze your code to identify required dependencies.
- Detect missing or outdated packages.
- Present any necessary dependency changes for your approval.
- Install or update dependencies as authorized.
- Keep dependency manifests and lock files up to date.
Below is an example of Zinley automatically checking and installing dependencies when running a project:
This automated workflow keeps your project dependencies aligned with your development needs, allowing for a smooth and uninterrupted coding experience.
Direct Dependency Management
Zinley also supports on-demand dependency management. You can trigger specific actions with simple commands:
- Package Installation: “Install SendBird SDK via CocoaPods for this iOS project”
- Framework Updates: “Update all packages to the latest versions”
- Dependency Resolution: Zinley handles compatibility and conflict resolution seamlessly.
Here’s how it works:
-
Delete Dependencies: If you remove dependencies somehow and want to install current or new dependencies.
-
Install Dependencies: Ask Zinley to check and install necessary dependencies for your project.
The Dependency Agent will prioritize and act immediately on direct commands, working across various package managers, such as:
- CocoaPods for iOS
- npm/yarn for JavaScript
- pip for Python
- Maven/Gradle for Java
- And many more
With each operation, Zinley automatically updates dependency files, ensuring accuracy and compatibility.
