Class SlicesRuleDefinition

java.lang.Object
com.tngtech.archunit.library.dependencies.SlicesRuleDefinition

public final class SlicesRuleDefinition extends Object
Allows to specify ArchRules for "slices" of a code base. A slice is conceptually a cut through a code base according to business logic. Take for example

 com.mycompany.myapp.order
 com.mycompany.myapp.customer
 com.mycompany.myapp.user
 com.mycompany.myapp.authorization
 
The top level packages under 'myapp' are composed according to different domain aspects. It is good practice, to keep such packages free of cycles, which is one capability that this class provides.
Consider

 slices().matching("..myapp.(*)..").should().beFreeOfCycles()
 
Then this rule will assert, that the four slices of 'myapp' are free of cycles.
