Walkthrough

The pull request adds a new Tips and tricks section to the README.md file. This section includes a Table of Contents entry and corresponding documentation containing a Kotlin DSL Gradle snippet. The snippet demonstrates how to copy generated icons from build output into the source folder, along with associated clean and update orchestrating tasks. The additions appear in two locations within the README.md file.

Repo: ComposeGears/Valkyrie PR: 750
File: tools/gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/io/github/composegears/valkyrie/gradle/internal/task/GenerateImageVectorsTask.kt:71-85
Timestamp: 2025-12-07T20:07:49.744Z
Learning: In the Valkyrie Gradle plugin (Kotlin), the `useFlatPackage` flag in `IconPackExtension` is only applicable when nested packs are configured. For single icon packs (without nested packs), the flag is intentionally not propagated to `ImageVectorGeneratorConfig` as there is no package hierarchy to flatten.

🔇 Additional comments (3)

README.md (3)

81-81: Good placement and structure for the TOC entry. The Tips and tricks section fits logically after the configuration samples and integrates well with the Gradle plugin documentation hierarchy.

---

686-691: Clear and practical guidance. The section provides a well-motivated example addressing a real use case where developers want to version-control generated code instead of relying solely on the build output.

---

693-709: Well-structured Gradle tasks with sound lifecycle management. The code follows Kotlin DSL idioms correctly:

• Proper use of dependsOn() to ensure generation precedes copying
• Good defensive practice with finalizedBy() to guarantee cleanup executes after the copy task
• File paths align with the plugin's documented defaults (line 409)
• Task naming is clear and intent is transparent
