Hello there. Is there a protobuf generator for Kotlin. I'm currently using the generated Java classes.

[adeln]

I’d highly recommend using https://github.com/square/wire with kotlin

it generates @NotNull/Nullable with the —android option

[sreich]

Meh, doesn't support protobuf 3, also not sure if the "runs on Android"is useful if you are only on desktop

[adeln]

it does support protobuf3, but only in 2.3.0 RC1

[adeln]

what’s useful is field nullability and immutability

[senthilkumarv]

I just checked it out. It pretty much has everything that is needed for basic Proto 3 support. And since I'm using it on Android, definitely the generated code is much better over Google's implementation

[sreich]

Maybe I'll give it a shot. Shame why there's no gradle plugin

[sreich]

Got a sample of gradle config to run it?

[teedee]

I found this: https://github.com/square/wire-gradle-plugin

[teedee]

Not sure if it works though

Hmm @jw

Write a JavaExec task that just runs the normal compiler via main

[sreich]

Ah you last said you were working on "first party support", sounded like something tangible

[sreich]

Guess that didn't pan out?

Haven't had the time or desire. We just use a JavaExec task
