Description
When evaluating a dependency's outputs for template syntax, we should support a shorter way of addressing the current dependency's outputs
Instead of ${bundle.dependencies.CURRENT_DEP.outputs.OUTPUT_NAME} the author should be able to use ${outputs.OUTPUT_NAME}. These should be equivalent variables and use the same backing map when the template is resolved.
This variable is only applicable to the outputs section of a dependency. Each template must be evaluated separately, if we want to support this new variable since it is specific to the context in which it's running.
Questions
- Is this too similar to
${bundle.outputs.OUTPUT_NAME}which stores different data? like it could be${dependency.outputs.OUTPUT_NAME}instead. 🤷♀️
