Round about one month ago we released a new feature which supports multiple files in one project. That is useful for almost every modern software project. Some package managers, such as Bundler, Composer, CocoaPods and others, generate anyway 2 files per project. Beside that many modern software projects are splittet up in frontend and backend. And many times there are different technologies and different package managers involved to handle the open source dependencies. That’s why it makes a lot of sense for VersionEye to support multiple files per project.
In the Web Interface you can merge already existing projects into another project. And of course you can “unmerge” them if you like. Now this 2 functions are available via the API as well.
Assume you have 2 projects with each 1 file. A Java project (ID: 222) with a simple pom.xml file for your backend and a JavaScript project (ID: 333) with a bower.json file. But actually it’s the same project and you would like to merge them on VersionnEye to have everything together in one single view. With this call on the API you would merge them:
/api/v2/projects/222/merge/333?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
In that case the Java project would be the parent and the JavaScript project would be the child. If you merge them the first time the order doesn’t madder. The other way around would work the same way.
If you would like to split the 2 projects again you could do it with this call:
/api/v2/projects/222/unmerge/333?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
Easy! Right?
There is even a third new endpoint. This one:
This endpoint is specially for the VersionEye Maven Plugin. On a multi module project the VersionEye Maven Plugin gets executed several times and there are multiple lifecycle runs involved. Because of the maven architecture the VersionEye Maven Plugin doesn’t know always the VersionEye ID of the parent project. That’s why this endpoint got introduced, to identify the parent by groupId and artifactId. These 2 coordinates are always available in the Maven lifecycle.
Try out the new Endpoints and leave a comment if you have questions.
