Disallowing dependencies

disallow constraints will evaluate all direct and transitive dependencies for a package.

If any local dependency has tags that match a selector within the disallow array, then the constraint will fail.

​

Disallow specific direct or transitive dependencies

Use a tag as a selector to disallow subsets of local dependencies.

{
  "disallow": ["application"]
}

​

Disllow all dependencies

Use * as a selector to disallow all local dependencies.

{
  "disallow": "*"
}

​

Example

The following constraint…

{
  "constraints": {
    "high-availability": {
      "disallow": ["beta"]
    }
  }
}

…will fail for the following dependency graph.

This is due to the fact that a transitive dependency contains the matching beta tag.
