# :rocket: `conda-join` - Unified Conda and Pip Requirements Management :rocket:

`conda_join` is a Python package designed to streamline the management and combination of multiple `requirements.yaml` files into a single Conda `environment.yaml`, whilest also being able to import the `requirements.yaml` file in `setup.py` where it will add the Python PyPI dependencies to `requires`.
This tool is ideal for projects with multiple subcomponents, each having its own dependencies, where some are only available on conda and some on PyPI (`pip`), simplifying the process of creating a unified Conda environment, while being pip installable with the Python only dependencies. 🖥️🔥

## :page_facing_up: Requirements File Structure

The `requirements.yaml` files that `conda_join` processes should follow a specific structure for the tool to correctly interpret and combine them. Here's an overview of the expected format:

### Basic Structure
Each `requirements.yaml` file should contain the following key elements:

- **name**: (Optional) A name for the environment. This is not used in the combined output but can be helpful for documentation purposes.
- **channels**: A list of channels from which packages will be sourced. Commonly includes channels like `conda-forge`.
- **dependencies**: A list of package dependencies. This can include both Conda and Pip packages.

### Example
Here is an example of a typical `requirements.yaml` file:

```yaml
name: example_environment
channels:
  - conda-forge
dependencies:
  - numpy  # same name on conda and pip
  - pandas  # same name on conda and pip
  - conda: scipy  # different name on conda and pip
    pip: scipy-package
  - pip: package3  # only available on pip
  - conda: mumps  # only available on conda
```

### Explanation
- Dependencies listed as simple strings (e.g., `- numpy`) are assumed to be Conda packages.
- If a package is available through both Conda and Pip but with different names, you can specify both using the `conda: <conda_package>` and `pip: <pip_package>` format.
- Packages only available through Pip should be listed with the `pip:` prefix.

`conda_join` will combine these dependencies into a single `environment.yaml` file, structured as follows:

```yaml
name: some_name
channels:
  - conda-forge
dependencies:
  - numpy
  - pandas
  - scipy
  pip:
    - scipy-package
    - package3
```

## :package: Installation

To install `conda_join`, run the following command:

```bash
pip install -U conda_join
```

Or just copy the script to your computer:
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/basnijholt/requirements.yaml/main/conda_join.py
```

## :memo: Usage with `pyproject.toml` or `setup.py`

To use `conda_join` in your project, you can configure it in `pyproject.toml`. This setup works alongside a `requirements.yaml` file located in the same directory. The behavior depends on your project's setup:

- **When using only `pyproject.toml`**: The `dependencies` field in `pyproject.toml` will be automatically populated based on the contents of `requirements.yaml`.
- **When using `setup.py`**: The `install_requires` field in `setup.py` will be automatically populated, reflecting the dependencies defined in `requirements.yaml`.

Here's an example `pyproject.toml` configuration:

```toml
[build-system]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
requires = ["setuptools", "wheel", "conda_join"]
```

In this configuration, `conda_join` is included as a build requirement, allowing it to process the Python dependencies in the `requirements.yaml` file and update the project's dependencies accordingly.

## :memo: Usage as a CLI

After installation, you can use `conda_join` to scan directories for `requirements.yaml` files and combine them into an `environment.yaml` file. Basic usage is as follows:

```bash
conda_join -d [DIRECTORY] --depth [DEPTH] -o [OUTPUT_FILE]
```

- `-d` or `--directory`: Specify the base directory to scan (default is current directory).
- `--depth`: Specify the depth for scanning subdirectories (default is 1).
- `-o` or `--output`: Specify the output file for the combined environment (default is `environment.yaml`).

### :wrench: Advanced Configuration

`conda_join` allows advanced configurations such as verbose output and printing to `stdout` instead of a file.

- To enable verbose output, use the `-v` or `--verbose` flag.
- To print the combined environment to `stdout` instead of saving to a file, use the `--stdout` flag.

Example with advanced options:

```bash
conda_join -d src --depth 2 -o dev_environment.yaml --verbose
```

### :scroll: Output Options

- The output `environment.yaml` file will contain a unified list of dependencies from all scanned `requirements.yaml` files.
- If the `--stdout` flag is used, the combined environment will be printed to the console.

### :question: Help Menu

For more options, use:

<!-- CODE:BASH:START -->
<!-- echo '```bash' -->
<!-- conda-join -h -->
<!-- echo '```' -->
<!-- CODE:END -->

<!-- ⚠️ This content is auto-generated by `markdown-code-runner`. -->
```bash
usage: conda-join [-h] [-d DIRECTORY] [--depth DEPTH] [-o OUTPUT] [-v]
                  [--stdout]

Unified Conda and Pip requirements management.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        Base directory to scan for requirements.yaml files, by
                        default `.`
  --depth DEPTH         Depth to scan for requirements.yaml files, by default
                        1
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output file for the conda environment, by default
                        `environment.yaml`
  -v, --verbose         Print verbose output
  --stdout              Output to stdout instead of a file
```

## :warning: Limitations

- The current version of `conda_join` does not support conflict resolution between different versions of the same package in multiple `requirements.yaml` files.
- Designed primarily for use with Conda environments; may not fully support other package management systems.
