Hey all 👋
Is there a better way to make onClose work on Desktop besides manually calling koin.close() from a ShutdownHook?

Untitled.cpp

[Alexandru Caraus]

Is it really necessary? Since the app is closing anyway?

[simon.vergauwen]

Yes, to close important resources.

What about

fun main() {
    val koin = startKoin {
        modules(appModule, desktopModule)
    }
    application(exitProcessOnExit = false) {
        Window(
            onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication,
            title = "Demo App",
        ) {
            App()
        }
    }
    koin.close()
}

I haven’t tested it but it should do the job.

[simon.vergauwen]

That could probably also work. There are other options like awaitApplication which I can use in combination with SuspendApp if I'd also want to react to SIGTERM.

I was surprised there was no support for this out-of-the-box ☺️
