Hi, in Ktor-client, how do I set path parameter if I have a url template like

<https://foo.com/{id}/car/{bar}>

? I need to set the values of

id

and

bar

Thanks in advance.

I don’t think ktor-client has a built-in facility, but you could just use string templates:

fun urlTemplate(id: String, bar: String) = "<https://foo.com/${id}/car/${bar}>"

urlTemplate("1", "foo") // <https://foo.com/1/car/foo>

you need to be really careful with string templates because they are not really type safe. if you change the type of id or bar to something else kotlin will automatically call toString

The issue is that we store endpoints in application.yaml so I am not sure how can I use

urlTemplate

for that.

how do you add the parameters to them currently?

Instead of a yaml file, store them in a kotlin file, each one in its own function: that way you can call them lazily in your client code. The advantage is that this kind of configuration is still code, checked by the compiler, instead of a semi-structured text file with all the problems that YAML brings along 😉
