All Known Subinterfaces:

GradleDependencies, JvmComponentDependencies
```
@Incubating
public interface Dependencies
```
Universal APIs that are available for all dependencies blocks.

Since:

7.6

See Also:

Creating custom dependencies blocks.

API Note:

This interface is intended to be used to mix-in DSL methods for dependencies blocks.

Implementation Requirements:

The default implementation of all methods should not be overridden.

Implementation Note:

Changes to this interface may require changes to the extension module for Groovy DSL or extension functions for Kotlin DSL.

  - getDependencyFactory
```
@Inject
DependencyFactory getDependencyFactory()

    A dependency factory is used to convert supported dependency notations into Dependency instances.
    
    Returns:
    
    a dependency factory

    DependencyFactory
    
    Implementation Requirements:
    
    Do not implement this method. Gradle generates the implementation automatically.
  - getDependencyConstraintFactory
```
@Inject
DependencyConstraintFactory getDependencyConstraintFactory()
```
    A dependency constraint factory is used to convert supported dependency notations into DependencyConstraint instances.
    
    Returns:
    
    a dependency constraint factory

    Implementation Requirements:
    
    Do not implement this method. Gradle generates the implementation automatically.
  - getProject
```
@Inject
Project getProject()
```

    Returns:
    
    current project
    
    Since:
    
    8.0

  - project
```
default ProjectDependency project(java.lang.String projectPath)
```
    Converts an absolute or relative path to a project into a ProjectDependency. Project paths are separated by colons. This method fails if the project cannot be found.
    
    Parameters:
    
    projectPath - an absolute or relative path (from the current project) to a project
    
    Returns:
    
    a ProjectDependency for the given path

    Project.project(String)
  - project
```
default ProjectDependency project()
```
    Returns the current project as a ProjectDependency.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current project as a dependency
  - module
```
default ExternalModuleDependency module(java.lang.CharSequence dependencyNotation)
```
    Create an ExternalModuleDependency from the given notation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dependencyNotation - dependency to add
    
    Returns:
    
    the new dependency
