What's that thing in intellij where I can write a word (like

blah

) and it'll expand it into a code snippet?

live templates?

actually…simple templates: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/using-live-templates.html#live_templates_types

ah yes. i couldn't find the word and the name was escaping me. hopeffully throwing together a live template isn't too hard. wish me luck

This helped. Everything works pretty easy except for that for whatever reason it tries to autocomplete every variable name i type with "ViewModel", but not going to worry about that. lol

Is there anyway to leave a "link" to another class in a comment? e.g. I want to have a comment of

//If you are touching this class, you will also have to update #LINK_TO_OTHER_CLASS

and hopefully I'd like to make the link "clickable" of course.

Kotlin Bulb!

I've been using copilot and for kotlin mpp it helps quite a bit to plow through bindings. Where copilot appers to need help is with unit tests- intellij moves the context and prevents copilot from having a view of the intended classes. has anyone given thought to a means of inline unit test generation? something like what Arrow does with """ | fun to(){blah} """.trim ?

best kotlin friendly lib to deserialize xml to data class? Jackson?

Hello everybody, I have a class like

sealed interface A {

    @JvmInline
    value class B(val value: String) : A

    @JvmInline
    value class C(val value: Int) : A
}

And I would like to override the

equals

, is it even possible?

any lib for converting html somehow to kdoc?

Why my code looks the way it looks!

Just happened to see this on Twitter, if anyone wants to make some money. https://hackathon.antmedia.io/

Anyone who tried

Copilot

yet? Is it possible for it to suggest anything other than “public” code? i.e. could I say something from our actual code base like “Use PaymentHistoryApiClient to fetch latest payment, then query PaymentHistoryDao for latest 20 items, calculate a diff between the two, and if there is something new, show a notification”? Or is it meant just for stuff like “Throwup binary search over this collection”?

I don’t think any channel fits this so asking here. I’m using renovate to check package bumps, and I wanted to ignore any version bumps for Kotlin itself. My reasoning is that I’m using compose and it’s bound to that version so I don’t want to always have to close this PR manually since I never want to merge that alone. I don’t know what I’d have to put inside the

"ignoreDeps": ["here"]

in order to tell renovate to ignore all kotlin bumps. Anyone who had to do this before figured it out before?

Is there a version of the KotlinX Metadata Klib library available for Kotlin Native? The following dependency notation has been used in the Gradle build file:

"org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-metadata-klib:0.0.3

After doing a Gradle refresh no build errors have appeared, however the imports for the library (e.g. kotlinx.metadata.KmClass) aren't available.

Debugging multiple processes is a pain. As far as I know, I can use the

JDWP

options, but it requires figuring out where the process is created, which is a challenge for me in a large codebase that I'm not familiar with. So just curious, is there a better way to do this? (Context: I'm debugging Gradle's test subproject and I just want the program to stop at my breakpoint, no matter which process is running it)

Anyone get a streaming service "perk" from their job? If so, is it tied to your work email? I'm at a small company (6 people) and trying to see if we can get a corporate perk like that where we pay on one card vs 6 people having to send in an expense report every month. lol

Is there an issue with youtrack.jetbrains.com at the moment? Looks like all the comments have disappeared for me.

So, the random question of the day. If you have an inline constructor the class member properties go below it (there's no other option). If you have multiple constructors though, do you declare the variables above the constructors (Java-style) or below? What's the "proper" Kotlin way?

Hello. I'm Alex, a developer and volunteer from Ukraine. You may be tired of such messages, but I would like to you read this. My military friend is protecting my country, his battalion needs a reconnaissance drone and a thermal imager. I can not buy such expensive equipment, I will be grateful for any help. In return for a donation, I can help you with tips or small solutions, as I have experience with a Compose application with NativeAdView in production.

Good morning, I recently started practicing on LeetCode using Kotlin, and I experienced something weird. Given the script posted here, there are 4 test cases on LeetCode, all of them passes in a kts file ( scratch file in a project with Kotlin 1.6.21 ) and only for one of them we have an incorrect output on LeetCode only. Do you have any idea about it? Test cases in the thread

How do I filter the issues I have starred (⭐) in youtrack.jetbrains.com? I know about the issues I have voted on (👍) but I can't find a filter for stars/watching

Fellas, how do you cater for external configurations into your apps (server side or desktop)??? I am currently using TOML files, but lack of referencing other config values warrants for extra repetition of the configuration, does anyone have a better option apart from TOML/JSON/XML?? Supposedly one with referential capabilities???

stateIn

operator is kinda confusing to me. As in. it doesn't make sense why its named stateIn. Anyone have any "aha" moment on why the name fits? or is it just me with this confusion?

Does NumberFormat in java/kotlin have any docs on how it rounds specifically? I noticed it would round 5.869 to $5.87, but trying to find in the docs on what it's doing exactly.

Did anyone had to handle accessibility with pdfs? Apparently talkback can't read it 🤔

just wondering what a technical release means in the context of https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/releases/tag/v1.7.22

This is a technical release. It doesn’t contain any fixes that aren’t included in Kotlin 1.7.21.

Version 1.7.22 of the Kotlin plugin will not be available for downloading or installing in any IDEs.

asking because my Renovate bot did detect this new version and I’ve spent some time on it. Just curious what the technical releases are for (who’s the target audience for them?) and if they are going to happen often
