Gleam: Local dependencies and enhanced externals

[NewsBot]

A new Gleam blog post/announcement has been posted!

Gleam is a type safe and scalable language for the Erlang virtual machine and JavaScript runtimes. Today Gleam v0.30.0 has been released, let’s take a look at what’s new.

Local dependencies

Gleam’s build tool has always had support for Hex, the package repository for the Erlang ecosystem. It now additionally supports local dependencies, allowing you to depend on other Gleam projects without pushing them to the repository.

# gleam.toml
name = "my_project"

[dependencies]
gleam_stdlib = "~> 0.30"
my_other_project = { path = "../my_other_project" }

You may want to use local dependencies when testing your project before publishing, when working on multiple related packages, or to enforce a certain dependency structure between parts of your codebase, such as ensuring a domain layer does not depend on a web framework...
