## Interface DependencyFilter

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    AndDependencyFilter, ExclusionsDependencyFilter, NotDependencyFilter, OrDependencyFilter, PatternExclusionsDependencyFilter, PatternInclusionsDependencyFilter, ScopeDependencyFilter

      public interface DependencyFilter

  A filter to include/exclude dependency nodes during other operations.

- - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `boolean` | `accept(DependencyNode node, List<DependencyNode> parents)` Indicates whether the specified dependency node shall be included or excluded.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### accept

          boolean accept(DependencyNode node,
                       List<DependencyNode> parents)

      Indicates whether the specified dependency node shall be included or excluded.
      Parameters:
        `node` - The dependency node to filter, must not be `null`.
        `parents` - The (read-only) chain of parent nodes that leads to the node to be filtered, must not be `null`. Iterating this (possibly empty) list walks up the dependency graph towards the root node, i.e. the immediate parent node (if any) is the first node in the list. The size of the list also denotes the zero-based depth of the filtered node.
      Returns:
        `true` to include the dependency node, `false` to exclude it.
