Task Dependencies
The requires
attribute can be used to define tasks that should be run prior to another task.
Syntax
For example, you want to run a task to deploy your code, but you want to run all the unit tests and linters before that happens.
Before the command section of the task, you may define comma seperated dependencies with requires:
or req:
followed by the name of the tasks that are dependencies.
## Tasks
### Test
```
sh test.sh
```
### Lint
```
sh lint.sh
```
### Deploy
requires: Test, Lint
```
sh deploy.sh
```
Chaining tasks with dependencies
You can chain tasks through the use of dependencies.
## Tasks
### Task1
```
echo "TASK 1"
```
### Task2
requires: Task1
```
echo "TASK 2"
```
### Task3
requires: Task2
```
echo "TASK 3"
```
Running xc Task3
will yield:
echo "TASK 1"
TASK 1
echo "TASK 2"
TASK 2
echo "TASK 3"
TASK 3
Running in the order of Task1
-> Task2
-> Task
