DirectDependencyMetadata (Gradle API 8.9)

All Superinterfaces:

DependencyMetadata<DirectDependencyMetadata>
```
public interface DirectDependencyMetadata
extends DependencyMetadata<DirectDependencyMetadata>
```
Describes a dependency declared in a resolved component's metadata, which typically originates from a component descriptor (Gradle metadata file, Ivy file, Maven POM). This interface can be used to adjust a dependency's properties via metadata rules (see ComponentMetadataHandler.

  - endorseStrictVersions
```
void endorseStrictVersions()
```
    Endorse version constraints with VersionConstraint.getStrictVersion() strict versions} from the target module. Endorsing strict versions of another module/platform means that all strict versions will be interpreted during dependency resolution as if they were defined by the endorsing module itself.

  - doNotEndorseStrictVersions
```
void doNotEndorseStrictVersions()
```
    Resets the isEndorsingStrictVersions() state of this dependency.

  - isEndorsingStrictVersions
```
boolean isEndorsingStrictVersions()
```
    Are the VersionConstraint.getStrictVersion() strict version} dependency constraints of the target module endorsed?
    
    Since:

  - getArtifactSelectors
```
java.util.List<DependencyArtifact> getArtifactSelectors()
```
    Returns additional artifact information associated with the dependency that is used to select artifacts in the targeted module. For example, a classifier or type defined in POM metadata or a complete artifact name defined in Ivy metadata.
