Dependency Rules

Rules governing how packages can depend on each other.

Why this exists​

Dependency rules prevent circular dependencies and ensure a clean package graph.

How it works​

Packages can depend on other packages, but circular dependencies are not allowed. Dependencies are resolved depth-first.

Examples​

Valid:
A -> B -> C
A -> C

Invalid:
A -> B -> A (circular)

Common mistakes​

  • Creating circular dependencies
  • Depending on unstable packages
  • Not specifying dependency versions
