penangkapdepending

Penangkapdepending is a coined term that appears in informal discussions about software dependency management. The word blends the Indonesian penangkap, meaning catcher or interceptor, with the English word depending, suggesting a mechanism that captures or resolves dependencies based on conditions. It is not widely recognized in formal literature or official standards.

In concept, a penangkapdepending describes a pattern or component that intercepts or influences dependency resolution at build time or runtime. The idea is to select, remap, or delay certain dependencies depending on contextual factors such as environment, feature flags, platform, user role, or version constraints. Practically, this can take the form of a mediator, adapter, or resolver that determines which implementation should be used for a given dependency under specific conditions.

Usage and examples are typically found in discussion forums, project READMEs, or experimental tooling rather than in established best practices. Examples might include conditional routing of dependencies to alternate implementations, dynamic binding of modules in a plugin system, or environment-specific dependency selection in a package manager. In each case, the goal is to provide flexibility by deferring or altering dependency choices based on runtime or deployment context.

Relation to other concepts is notable: penangkapdepending shares ideas with dependency injection, feature flags, and conditional dependency resolution, but it is not a formal, widely adopted term. As a result, definitions and implementations can vary across projects. See also dependency management, feature flag, dependency injection, dynamic linking.
