android studio add module,Android Studio - Add dependency to all modules

I know the question is a bit old but I started using this which I think would be cleaner if you do not care about what libraries being injected into your module.

root build.gradle

ext {

commonDependencies = [

// Layout Libraries

constraintLayoutApi : "androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:$constraintlayout_version",

materialApi : "com.google.android.material:material:$material_version",

flexboxApi : "com.google.android:flexbox:$flexbox_version",

// Image library (Picasso is alternative)

glideImpl : "com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:$glide_version",

glideCompilerAnno : "com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:$glide_version",

// Network library (Volley is alternative)

retrofitImpl : "com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:$retrofit_version",

retrofitJacksonImpl : "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-jackson:$retrofit_version",

retrofitScalarsImpl : "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-scalars:$retrofit_version",

retrofitJava8Impl : "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-java8:$retrofit_version",

// Dependency Injection

daggerImpl : "com.google.dagger:dagger:$dagger_version",

daggerCompilerAnno : "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:$dagger_version",

// we add this so we can use the android support libraries

daggerAndroidSupportImpl: "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:$dagger_version",

daggerProcessorAnno : "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-processor:$dagger_version"

]

}

and in app build.gradle:

dependencies {

api "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:$app_compact_version"

api "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:$play_service_version"

commonDependencies.each { key, value ->

if (key.endsWith('Anno')) {

annotationProcessor value

} else if (key.endsWith('Impl')) {

implementation value

} else if (key.endsWith('Api')) {

api value

}

}

}

As you can see I am checking for API, Implementation, and Annotation by the suffix of the key in the root gradle file.
