Dependency scope records whether a library is needed by production code, tests, or both.

Dependency Scope Model

DependencyScopeModel.kt
fun main() {
    val scope = 
    val dependency = mapOf(
        "group" to "org.example",
        "name" to "toolkit",
        "version" to "1.2.0"
    )
    val coordinate = "${dependency["group"]}:${dependency["name"]}:${dependency["version"]}"
    val packaged = scope == "implementation" || scope == "runtimeOnly"

    println("scope=$scope")
    println("coordinate=$coordinate")
    println("packaged=$packaged")
}
fun main() {
    val scope = 
    val dependency = mapOf(
        "group" to "org.example",
        "name" to "toolkit",
        "version" to "1.2.0"
    )
    val coordinate = "${dependency["group"]}:${dependency["name"]}:${dependency["version"]}"
    val packaged = scope == "implementation" || scope == "runtimeOnly"

    println("scope=$scope")
    println("coordinate=$coordinate")
    println("packaged=$packaged")
}
fun main() {
    val scope = 
    val dependency = mapOf(
        "group" to "org.example",
        "name" to "toolkit",
        "version" to "1.2.0"
    )
    val coordinate = "${dependency["group"]}:${dependency["name"]}:${dependency["version"]}"
    val packaged = scope == "implementation" || scope == "runtimeOnly"

    println("scope=$scope")
    println("coordinate=$coordinate")
    println("packaged=$packaged")
}
dependency scope Scope keeps dependency intent visible so a test helper does not become part of the runtime artifact.
