Rule and corresponding provider that joins a label pointing to a TreeArtifact with a path nested within that directory

directory_path

Provide DirectoryPathInfo to reference some path within a directory.

Otherwise there is no way to give a Bazel label for it.

ATTRIBUTES

Name	Description	Type	Mandatory	Default
name	A unique name for this target.	Name	required
directory	a TreeArtifact (ctx.actions.declare_directory)	Label	required
path	path relative to the directory	String	required

DirectoryPathInfo

Joins a label pointing to a TreeArtifact with a path nested within that directory.

FIELDS

Name	Description
directory	a TreeArtifact (ctx.actions.declare_directory)
path	path relative to the directory

make_directory_path

Helper function to generate a directory_path target and return its label.

PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value
name	unique name for the generated directory_path target	none
directory	directory attribute passed to generated directory_path target	none
path	path attribute passed to generated directory_path target	none
kwargs	parameters to pass to generated output_files target	none

RETURNS

The label name

make_directory_paths

Helper function to convert a dict of directory to path mappings to directory_path targets and labels.

For example,

make_directory_paths("my_name", {
    "//directory/artifact:target_1": "file/path",
    "//directory/artifact:target_2": ["file/path1", "file/path2"],
})

generates the targets,

directory_path(
    name = "my_name_0",
    directory = "//directory/artifact:target_1",
    path = "file/path"
)

directory_path(
    name = "my_name_1",
    directory = "//directory/artifact:target_2",
    path = "file/path1"
)

directory_path(
    name = "my_name_2",
    directory = "//directory/artifact:target_2",
    path = "file/path2"
)

and the list of targets is returned,

[
    "my_name_0",
    "my_name_1",
    "my_name_2",
]

PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value
name	The target name to use for the generated targets & labels. The names are generated as zero-indexed name + “_” + i	none
dict	The dictionary of directory keys to path or path list values.	none
kwargs	additional parameters to pass to each generated target	none

RETURNS

The label of the generated directory_path targets named name + "_" + i
