Does it make sense to create an independent @Component in each module, and couple components using dependencies=[FeatureDepsProvider::class] instead of using Subcomponents to save build time on incremental builds?
For example, if I use subcomponents in gradle feature modules, and change something in subcomponent's graph that requires to regenerate it, it will also regenerate parent component, because it's a subclass, right?
What will happen if I use components? If I change something in feature component, but don't change public interface of this component, will other components which depend on this public interface be regenerated too?
Example:
interface DependencyProvider {
fun provideDep(): SomeDependency
}
// first gradle module
@Component
interface FeatureComponent : DependencyProvider {}
// second gradle module
@Component(dependencies = [DependencyProvider::class])
interface ConsumerComponent {
}Also, I'd like to have some explanation on how incremental annotation processor works for Dagger
