Slices (archunit 0.8.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.tngtech.archunit.library.dependencies.Slices

All Implemented Interfaces:

DescribedIterable<Slice>, HasDescription, java.lang.Iterable<Slice>
```
public final class Slices
extends java.lang.Object
implements DescribedIterable<Slice>
```
Basic collection of Slice for tests on dependencies of package slices, e.g. to avoid cycles. Example to specify a ClassesTransformer to run ArchRules against Slices:
```
 Slices.matching("some.pkg.(*)..")
 
```
would group the packages
- some.pkg.one.any
- some.pkg.one.other
in the same slice, the package
- some.pkg.two.any
in a different slice.
The resulting ClassesTransformer can be used to specify an ArchRule on slices.

- Method Detail
  - iterator
```
public java.util.Iterator<Slice> iterator()
```
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<Slice>
  - as
```
public Slices as(java.lang.String description)
```
  - getDescription
```
public java.lang.String getDescription()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getDescription in interface HasDescription
  - namingSlices
```
public Slices namingSlices(java.lang.String pattern)
```
    Allows the naming of single slices, where back references to the matching pattern can be denoted by '$' followed by capturing group number.
    E.g. namingSlices("Slice $1") would name a slice matching '*..service.(*)..*' against 'com.some.company.service.hello.something' as 'Slice hello'.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pattern - The naming pattern, e.g. 'Slice $1'
    
    Returns:
    
    The same slices with adjusted naming for each single slice
  - matching
```
public static Slices.Transformer matching(java.lang.String packageIdentifier)
```
