# Bazel Dev Container Feature

💚 Installs Bazel tooling



  



> _{Fast, Correct} - Choose two_

>

> Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

>

> - **Speed up your builds and tests**: Bazel rebuilds only what is necessary.

>   With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis

>   and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

> - **One tool, multiple languages**: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS,

>   Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows,

>   macOS, and Linux.

> - **Scalable**: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and

>   continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in

>   multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

> - **Extensible to your needs**: Easily add support for new languages and

>   platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use

>   language rules written by the growing Bazel community.

— [bazelbuild/bazel: a fast, scalable, multi-language and extensible build system](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel)

This Feature installs Bazel using [Bazelisk]. Then, it symlinks

`/usr/local/bin/bazel` to the Bazelisk installation so that you can use `bazel`

as normal through `bazelisk`. The main feature of Bazelisk is that it

automatically uses the correct Bazel version based on things like

`$USE_BAZEL_VERSION`, `.bazeliskrc`, `.bazelversion`, and more. This feature

also installs the [Bazel VS Code extension]. Oh, and it also installs

[Buildifier] for your convenience. 😉

## Usage

![Devcontainers](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?style=for-the-badge&message=Devcontainers&color=2496ED&logo=Docker&logoColor=FFFFFF&label=)

```jsonc

// devcontainer.json

"features": {

  "ghcr.io/devcontainers-community/features/bazel:1": {}

}

```

❓ Don't know what this ☝ means? Check out [this VS Code blog post].

### Options

You can specify a `bazelisk_version` and a `buildifier_version` to pin each of

the tools like this:

```jsonc

// devcontainer.json

"features": {

  "ghcr.io/devcontainers-community/features/bazel:1": {

    "bazelisk_version": "v1.17.0",

    "buildifier_version": "v6.1.2"

  }

}

```
