Facilitate Switch to Dependency Manager on Existing Projects #1544

Open chasefleming opened 5 months ago

chasefleming commented 5 months ago

In order to more easily migrate people with existing projects to use Dependency Manager, we should facilitate the switch easily. This means:

And existing project adds a dependency
If it detects that dependency in contracts it asks the user if they'd like to remove it from contracts since it will be in dependencies
It pulls the aliases (may request permission)
It gives a summary of files you can now delete from your project

There are still some incompatibilities with the dependency manager in VS Code. I have to configure the same contract twice in contracts and dependencies to ensure that flow.json works properly.

Of course, the advantage is that I don't have to submit these contracts to the repo anymore, because they are under imports folder.

I'm not sure this is related to this ticket, but it looks like it was resolved on the linked issue.

Yeah, I found that it has been fixed in flow-cli v1.18.0 .
