kotlinlang

could someone help point me in the right direction to obtain the primary constructor arguments (to get their names and types) in an annotation processor? i am currently reading about kotlin metadata to see if that can be helpful

there are two annotation processors in use: kapt and ksp.
kapt (I think) because that uses the java view of your kotlin code and ksp, which is kotlin specific (and will give you access to all kotlin language features):
