Anyone know if there is a gradle plugin to use with something like this: https://github.com/adamko-dev/kotlinx-serialization-typescript-generator. Was thinking about using it to generate my response models from my ktor backend and possible functions to wrap the rest api

hey, I thought about creating a Gradle plugin but since KxsTsGen needs the output of the compilation it's a bit tricky. I wanted to avoid creating a KSP plugin because I think they're a hassle to maintain.

Personally I'd splitting up the responsibility into specific subprojects.

1. Define the serializable models in :my-models
2. Create another subproject for generating TS. This will depend on :my-models and KxsTsGen and have a fun main() for running the generation.
You could also search on GitHub to see how other projects do it:

I see the icpc project just created a specific task, maybe it'd help:
