Hey folks! 🚀 Just published a tutorial on how to host your Kotlin/JS applications on GitHub Pages, automated via GitHub Actions! If you’re looking for a simple way to do Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery for K/JS apps (for free!), look no further! 🤩 https://dev.to/kotlin/hosting-kotlin-js-on-github-pages-via-github-actions-3gep

Hi folks. I'm happy to share the first preview of the KotlinJS (IR only) library I'm working on these days. Introducing KHAKRA! It's a library providing Kotlin React bindings for ChakraUI components library. At the moment I'm just getting started, so not many components have been wrapped yet, but I feel there's enough for you to explore and provide some early feedback. Boot up the sandbox

./gradlew sandbox:browserDevelopmentRun -t

and have a look. Or alternatively you can pull the published artifact from github packages (JCenter, you'll be missed...). If you have any questions/suggestions, pop a message in #khakra or raise a github issue. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

diKTat 0.4.0 is released diKTat (https://github.com/cqfn/diKTat) is an open-source Kotlin code style analyzer with built-in formatter implemented on the top of KTlint and distributed under the MIT license. New relese [0.4.0] brings support for language version dependent features, as well as a handful of new inspections and a few bugfixes. [Release notes] are available on GitHub. If you are not yet familiar, diKTat has over a hundred inspections, built-in formatter and extensive configuration via a yaml file. Diktat can be run as a CLI application and it has it's own [gradle] and [maven] plugins. Disclaimer: Please try diktat in your projects and let us know of your impressions! Your feedback is extremely important for us :)

Probably not the best to release to JCenter now

I wrote a thing for the GDE blog describing a pattern that we are using to decompose client API adapters: https://medium.com/google-developer-experts/smash-your-adapter-monolith-with-the-connect-pattern-fd4854a18e61

Intro to #http4k

Looks like KSP is no longer experimental, and is now officially in alpha status! https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2021/02/announcing-kotlin-symbol-processing-ksp.html

Pushed an update to my iOS + Kotlin/Native ergonomics post about the new Enum<T>.values() method exposed to Obj-C/Swift in Kotlin 1.4.30: https://benasher.co/kotlin-ios-ergonomics/

I wrote a Kotlin based library to help reduce the Boilerplate code for ViewBinding in Android to bare necessity, making it easy to use and wrote my first article explaining the same. Give it a read, if the topic interests you. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated. Thanks. Here is the link to the library.

At long last I am happy to share the first preview of kamp.ml (at the same day when KotlinJS-IR badge went live!). This is self-updating kotlin library catalogue, powered by maven scanner. At the moment it's just a basic pager, but I plan to add search and filtering by available targets options. Maybe even community tagging in the future to allow dynamic categorisation The initial scan is running right now, so more and more libraries will be appearing on the website today. Keep hitting that

! Also here's the source code if anyone is curious.

Jumping on this blog bandwagon with a post about `sequence`: https://dev.to/zachklipp/what-is-restricted-suspension-in-kotlin-54n1

Just dropped an update to kamp.ml (kotlin library catalogue with focus on platforms) This update brings an initial dumb implementation of search (works on library group, name and description) and improved pagination. On top of that, the first MavenCentral scan was also completed, feeding over 2.6k kotlin libraries into the catalogue. You can follow the repo to track the project's progress. Have a nice day, everyone!

npm-publish@1.1.2 is out! This is a gradle plugin aiming to do what maven-publish does for java, but for npm. It has same integrations with kotlin.js plugin to autogenerate publications for you and do actual publishing to any npm registry. This new version brings improved IR support, which makes it even easier to manage kotlin-only dependencies in your project when assembling the publication (since those are now bundled within the final js output file via webpack). Also note that starting from this release the plugin will no longer be published to jcenter.

Hi everyone, Few weeks ago we launched a Youtube channel as a new format to share our experiences with Kotlin/Multiplatform. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbTrSXEB8flZ3XM9t3j4D8A What do you think about it?

I wrote a small article on how to create code images that look good directly inside Android Studio. I find it very useful for small articles or to share code on social media! https://dev.to/antoine/create-code-screenshots-straight-from-your-ide-38ke

Today, I learned how to make an IntelliJ plugin because I needed to shave some yaks… https://github.com/bjonnh/FilePermissionsPlugin

Just pushed a hotfix to kamp (package discovery site with focus on platforms) that increases responsiveness a bit for mobile and adds a badge to show how many libraries have been detected total to get everyone hyped (since they seem to be growing by day with each scan!). Website itself is available at www.kamp.ml This is hopefully the last hotfix before the upcoming full rework of the website. P.S. Do let me know if I'm being too spammy about this, way too excited for my own good :D

After a long weekend, I'm very happy to announce kamp@1.0.0! (kotlin package search with focus on targets) Website itself is available at https://kamp.ml Highlights of this first stable release: • Fully reimagined webUI • Ability to filter libraries by a subset of kotlin targets • Library version history • Various optimisations and quality of life improvements Any feedback or feature suggestions are welcome (raise a GH issue, please) Happy coding!

my latest post is live on Medium! https://medium.com/@kris.wong/the-precarious-problem-of-kotlin-multiplatform-on-ios-e7744d9b3cd

Hey all 👋 We just dropped #detekt version

1.16.0

stable: https://github.com/detekt/detekt/releases/tag/v1.16.0 Much ❤️ to the whole community as this release comes with a LOT of features (e.g. Multiplatform support, Report merging) as well as several brand new rules.

It is finally out https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/16238-filepermissionsplugin (most of the work really was getting that README in a good shape)

If anybody is a Windows user, let me know if there are permissions you wish to set from IntelliJ, I have no idea if that's needed or not on NTFS

Hey all 👋 Sharing a small Gradle G plugin I wrote recently that lets you run #ktfmt on your project without having to download the CLI or setup an IntelliJ Plugin: https://github.com/cortinico/ktfmt-gradle/

Just released kamp@1.1.0 (Kotlin MPP package discovery webapp with focus on platforms) This release mainly focuses on JS "variants" (legacy & ir) rework to unlock better support and features to match other platforms. Now you can filter by js IR and js Legacy too! Happy coding!
