Hey all 👋 Happy to share the latest episode of The Developers’ Bakery: 🚀  Apollo GraphQL with @mbonnin Martin has the opportunity to work full time for Apollo, probably the most popular GraphQL client for Android & Kotlin Multiplatform. In this episode Martin will tell us his experience with GraphQL, how he got involved with the project and how it is to work full time on a oss project. You can listen to it on the website here: https://thebakery.dev/13/ or on the major streaming platforms. As always, any feedback is more than welcome 🙏

I am working on a series of articles and a book about Kotlin coroutines, and looking for reviewers. Active reviewers will be listed both in the book and at the bottom of each article. Anyone here willing to help?

I’m from Brex and we recently moved to using Kotlin for our backend services https://medium.com/brexeng/building-backend-services-with-kotlin-7c8410795e4b

Dear Kotlin geeks! This week we’re going to have a 2-days conference with 14 talks about different flavours of Kotlin https://www.kotland.org/ Will be so glad to see you there 😍

I made a thread yesterday night 👇

Hi all, I have just released a ktoml library (0.2.6) to Maven Central. It is a fully Kotlin native serialization library for TOML configuration language. It was requested by Kotlin community, but unfortunately I am developing this alone in my free time. I would like to ask for your help in testing/contributing to this project. Or at least give it a star to make it look more attractive for new contributors. Thanks! 🙏 I know that Kotlin community - is the best in the world and I appreciate your help ❤️

Effective Kotlin Item 46: Avoid member extensions https://kt.academy/article/ek-member-extensions

Hi folks ! I’m a CS student in the 6th semester at HEIG-VD. I’ve been working on my bachelor thesis for the last weeks, and thought it might be interesting to share, since it’s a Kotlin multiplatform (JVM + JS) project. I’ve made an online collaborative Markdown editor, using Kotlin/JS for the frontend and with a replication server in Kotlin/JVM. The editor uses some CRDTs to sync text across the clients. Messages are Protobuf-serialized with 

kotlinx.serialization

, and sent / received through websockets with Ktor. An interesting challenge was to design a nice abstraction layer around CRDTs with first-class support for coroutines and flows (in order, for instance, to collect editor state changes through a 

StateFlow

). My thesis is ending soon, but I’d love to get some feedback on my work (especially if you’re interested in CRDTs and distributed systems) and my usage of KMM, so I can integrate it in the project ! The project is available on Github : https://github.com/markdown-party/mono Feedback (via email or Slack) : alexandre.piveteau@heig-vd.ch

Today, we will explore how suspension works. We will also see how callback functions can be transformed into suspension functions, and how delay works. Enjoy 😉 https://kt.academy/article/cc-suspension

so I’d like to share something, 3 weeks ago I was asked to apply for a position at Google, to see if there’s a match or not, took those 3 weeks to study for the phone screen, algorithms, data structures, the whole thing, and I did it all in Kotlin, I failed the exam but I used Kotlin for everything and on the exam itself, it never got in the way or caused me any confusion while working with it, just thought you’d know, great language

We're at exactly 5k kotlin libs on maven central after last night's kamp scan! Pop the 🍾 !

Hi, Im new to Kotlin and enjoying it so far 😉

Hi there 🙂 Using traits for testing is a fairly popular pattern in Kotlin. To learn how it works read the article Traits for testing in Kotlin written by @marcinmoskala 👇 https://kt.academy/article/traits-testing

Hi! I created a backend based on the Clean Architecture principles. Feedback would be very much appreciated! The application is separated into three modules: Domain, Usecases and Adapters • Domain module contains all entities, it's validation and repository interfaces • Usecases module performs actions on the domain entities and repositories and does authorization The domain and usecase modules do not have any external dependencies. • Adapter layer: each adapter is implemented as a standalone module, lowering dependence on specific frameworks and libraries and making them interchangable. The server module consumes all adapters (e.g. databases, (graphql) endpoints, authentication logic) GraphQL endpoints are auto-generated from the Usecases Used technologies: Ktor, JWT, Exposed, Flyway, KGraphQL/GraphQL generated endpoints. https://github.com/ESchouten/CleanArchitecture

I finally got around to updating my kotlin-benchmark mini project. I’m probably doing something wrong on how I run benchmarks, so any help will be more than welcomed 🙂 Also, looking for more ideas about what can be tested

Hey hey 👋 Quick heads up that #detekt v1.18.0 just got released: https://github.com/detekt/detekt/releases/tag/v1.18.0 This release is coming with a lot of changes, new rules, evolution in the API and stability improvements. We want to take the opportunity to thank our contributors for testing, bug reporting and helping us release this new version of Detekt 🚀

ComposeReorderable v0.6 is now also available for #compose-desktop https://github.com/aclassen/ComposeReorderable

After an interesting discussion about a nice Java interop feature where you can allow Java callers to pass in

null

in place of default parameters to have the default values substituted in automatically, I went on and implemented that in a compiler plugin. This might be useful for someone (I guess), even as a starting stone into learning compiler plugins. Any feedback or criticism is very recommended 😄

Hello :) I am from #tgbotapi , Telegram Bot API multiplatform wrapper framework, and today I have released version 0.35.6 with several minor updates: • Dependencies updates • Deprecation of old updates flows You are welcome in our channel 😊

Hello! refreshVersions helps Gradle users with the tedious manual work usually involved in adding and updating dependencies and their versions. Highlights from the CHANGELOG for the two last versions: • A task

./gradlew refreshVersionsMigrate

now automates the initial migration • A configuration

rejectVersionsIf { ...}

to filter alpha/beta versions • Lots of dependency notations for AndroidX, Spring, Http4k, Kodein... • ... and you can now contribute your own! To give it a try, see https://jmfayard.github.io/refreshVersions/setup/
