BOM

The Landscapist Bill of Materials (BOM) simplifies the management of all Landscapist library versions. By specifying only the BOM's version, you can effortlessly manage the versions of all Landscapist libraries used in your project.

GroovyKTS

dependencies {
    // Import the landscapist BOM
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-bom:$version"

    // Import landscapist libraries
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-glide"
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-coil"
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-fresco"

    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-core"
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-image"
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-svg"

    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-animation"
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-placeholder"
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-palette"
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-transformation"
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-zoomable"
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:landscapist-image-gallery"
}

dependencies {
    // Import the landscapist BOM
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-bom:$version")

    // Import landscapist libraries
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-glide")
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-coil")
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-fresco")

    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-core")
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-image")
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-svg")

    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-animation")
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-placeholder")
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-palette")
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-transformation")
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-zoomable")
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-image-gallery")
}

This ensures a streamlined and efficient development process, as you can easily keep track of library versions and ensure compatibility across your Landscapist dependencies.

Version catalog

The BOM settles versions. It does not save you from writing each coordinate out, and it gives you nothing to discover the modules from. landscapist-version-catalog is the other half: a published Gradle version catalog of every Landscapist artifact, so they arrive as aliases with completion in the IDE.

Import it once in settings.gradle.kts:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    versionCatalogs {
        create("landscapistLibs") {
            from("com.github.skydoves:landscapist-version-catalog:$version")
        }
    }
}

Then declare dependencies by alias, with no version and no coordinate string:

dependencies {
    implementation(landscapistLibs.landscapist.glide)
    implementation(landscapistLibs.landscapist.coil3)
    implementation(landscapistLibs.landscapist.image)
    implementation(landscapistLibs.landscapist.placeholder)
}

Every module on this page has an alias, and so does the BOM itself, as landscapistLibs.landscapist.bom.

Which one do I want?

They are not alternatives. The catalog carries the coordinates and a version for the lines you write yourself. The BOM constrains versions across the whole resolution, including a Landscapist module that arrives through some other library rather than through your build file. Taking both is reasonable: the aliases for what you declare, the BOM for what you do not.
