    - #### flatDir

          FlatDirectoryArtifactRepository flatDir​(Map<String,​?> args)

      Adds a resolver that looks into a number of directories for artifacts. The artifacts are expected to be located in the root of the specified directories. The resolver ignores any group/organization information specified in the dependency section of your build script. If you only use this kind of resolver you might specify your dependencies like `":junit:4.4"` instead of `"junit:junit:4.4"`. The following parameter are accepted as keys for the map:

      Key | Description of Associated Value
      --- | ---
      `name` | (optional) The name of the repository. The default is a Hash value of the rootdir paths. The name is used in the console output, to point to information related to a particular repository. A name must be unique amongst a repository group.
      `dirs` | Specifies a list of rootDirs where to look for dependencies. These are evaluated as per `Project.files(Object...)`

      Examples:

           repositories {
               flatDir name: 'libs', dirs: "$projectDir/libs"
               flatDir dirs: ["$projectDir/libs1", "$projectDir/libs2"]
           }

      Parameters:
        `args` - The arguments used to configure the repository.
      Returns:
        the added resolver
      Throws:
        `InvalidUserDataException` - In the case neither rootDir nor rootDirs is specified of if both are specified.
