Tape is a Gradle plugin that generates units so that your code's safety can be evaluated by the compiler and Java / Kotlin's type system. It aims to provide a simple, and minimal interface for this task. If more extensive support and generation is required, it is recommended that you take a look at kunalsheth/units-of-measure instead.

To add the plugin to a project, add it to the plugins block

plugins {
    id("me.akainth.tape") version "2.1.0"
}

Tape will generate extensions that need to be added to your source sets. This should go after the tape block in your buildscript.

tasks["compileKotlin"].dependsOn(tasks["tape"])
sourceSets["main"].java.srcDir(tape.targetDirectory.map {it.asFile}.get())

Tape will not generate anything out of the box, you must first select which dimensions to generate.

tape {    
    length
    time
    mass
    bytes
    area
    volume
    speed
    acceleration
    force
}

Tape also makes it easy to create your own dimensions, such as for current and voltage

val charge = dimension("ElectricCharge", "coulomb") {}
val current = dimension("Current", charge / time)

To configure the output from tape, you can configure the following members of GenerateDimensionsTask

tape {
    targetDirectory.set(project.layout.buildDirectory.dir("generated"))
}
