Question

Hi excuse my ignorance but is KVision also suitable for building a self contained HTML page that can be sent around as a single file and viewed locally by opening the local file in a browser I m basically meaning a HTML report exported from a Kotlin application

Robert Jaros · Answer

In general there are two files html and js But you could probably put the content of the JS file into HTML to get a single file

Robert Jaros · Answer

An example hello world in a single file

Sebastian Schuberth · Answer

Yes that looks quite promising Is there an example KVision project to generate such self contained reports Maybe even with some charts or react components

Robert Jaros · Answer

Not at the moment But I can try to create a simple gradle task for that

Robert Jaros · Answer

Any ideas how would you like to generate the report itself

Sebastian Schuberth · Answer

I m not exactly sure what you mean in the end the report represents data from the Kotlin data classes that I have So I d like to use my data classes basically as the input and then using KVision write out a self contained HTML reporter with embedded JS that displays the data from the classes in various way like tables trees and charts

Sebastian Schuberth · Answer

I guess the important bit is that the report should be generated at runtime of my application and not by running a Gradle task

Robert Jaros · Answer

Using data classes as the input is a bit unclear Data classes in terms of what A plain source code kt file A Kotlin object in memory where in the backend frontend A serialized representation json

Robert Jaros · Answer

Checking your earlier conversation on kobweb channel I see you would like to have an application that generates a report which is also an application But those apps are always separated whatever tech stack you would use to build them So in my opinion there must a bridge to send the data between them Serialized json representation doesn t seem to be a bad solution for this purpose

Robert Jaros · Answer

If you would like the report application to be a Kotlin app it is by all means possible I would just replace your React solution with KVision or other Kotlin JS framework but kept the json transformation and HTML patching I assume this means puting json report data directly into a pre built HTML file

Sebastian Schuberth · Answer

Yes correct the bridge is serialized YAML The ORT <https github com oss review toolkit ort reporter|reporter> tool reads serialized result files into data classes in memory and writes out a HTML report for that data I d like to replace the current solution which involves e bedding JSON into a JavaScript React app with a pure Kotlin solution

Sebastian Schuberth · Answer

So it s not a typical server scenario with a frontend backend Hence I m unlcear whether KVision would be a good fit
