A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Maybe too basic but not able to get it to work. :sweat_smile:

I wanna reuse functions from one kts file to another.
Eg. Create a `helper.gradle.kts` file  with a fun that can be used in other `x.gradle.kts` files.
What is the best way?

try taking a look at this Q&amp;A <https://stackoverflow.com/q/70670733/4161471>

Is there not an easier way to do this eg. defining a function in one kts file and then using `import` or `apply` as with Groovy scripts?

it’s just 3 steps

1. create `./buildSrc/build.gradle.kts` with

```plugins {
  `kotlin-dsl`
}```
2. create `./buildSrc/settings.gradle.kts` with

```rootProject.name = "buildSrc"

pluginManagement {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    gradlePluginPortal()
  }
}

@Suppress("UnstableApiUsage")
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
      mavenCentral()
      gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}```
3. create your file

```// ./buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/myExtensions.kt
import org.gradle.api.*

fun Project.myHelper() {
  println("I'm helping project ${project.displayName}!")
}```
And then because there’s no `package` declaration in `myExtensions.kt`, you can use `myHelper()` in any subproject. If there was a `package my.buildsrc.helpers`, then you’d have to add `import my.buildsrc.helpers.myHelper` to any `build.gradle.kts`

Idk, not working for me.  :disappointed:
Will have to try another time. Thanks for trying to help. :pray:
