Hey guys, I have been writing some small plugins using KSP and generating code with strings, I just wonder if a DSL exists to generate code in an easy way ? something like

fun generateCode(): String {
  return function("foo") {
    parameter("a", "Int")
    if (ksClassDeclaration.annotations.includes(something)) {
      parameter("b", "String")
    }
    // ...
  }
}

For generating code, you can use kotlinpoet.

I'm doing exactly that right now but the repo hasn't been formalized yet 😅 github.com/diskria-libs/poetesse This will work as a declarative code generation and unification of KotlinPoet and JavaPoet with support for type system interop between them.

I use this internally in my KSP and it looks like this:

Interesting, I also ended up creating something similar for my internal plugins, here's an example that produces a function call

Here's some code that I used to create some Compose code

looks cool!
Also, I didn’t even know about %M until I saw your screenshot! So thanks for that revelation too haha
