Right now, modders would have to manually type out the mod ID in their config file, but that's not really something they know about other mods. And comparing by name doesn't sound right.

Whereas with Nexus, they get a nice UI to select dependencies on the website, and I still get a unique identifier via the API.

I should probably only attempt this after Nexus is integrated.

It seems like Nexus does not expose dependency information.

It shows the "make sure to download these as well, dialog" on the page, but the API doesn't seem to offer that information.

Plus, relying on Nexus would leave out non-Nexus mods, and Nexus wouldn't have an "after"-style dependency either.

So it does have to go through dtmt.cfg only. I guess I can make things slightly more ergonomic by adding the ID to the mod details view.

Proposed config section:

depends = [
    // Just a string -> equals "before"
    DMF
    {
        id = DMF
        // This dependency must come before us
        order = before
    }
    {
        id = DMF
        // This dependency must come after us
        order = after
    }
]
