Hi
Small question about development mode :
Is it possible to let ktor decide which modules to load based on development mode ?
If not is it possible with a custom property in the conf like in the example:
https://ktor.io/docs/configurations.html#custom-property
?

Thanks

Is it possible to let ktor decide which modules to load based on development mode ?

No. The best thing you can do is to wrap a module's code with a check for the developmentMode or custom property condition. Here is an example:

embeddedServer(Netty, applicationEngineEnvironment {
    connector {
        port = 7070
    }

    module {
        if (developmentMode) {
            routing {
                get("/") {
                    call.respondText { "You will see it in the development mode" }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}).start()

Thanks @Aleksei Tirman [JB] - do you know it possible to pass which hocon file to use in the command line ? or maybe some feature like spring config profiles? so we can set some of the configuration to be enable in certain cases ?

Thanks again

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

You can use -config CLI argument to specify the path to a HOCON file.

I don't know about such a feature.
