Hi, I was wondering, some poeple using ktor on GAE? I mean i checked demo on ktor.io but i would love to see "proper way" to acces datastore, use ofy or not, etc etc not to reinvent myslef 🙂 ?

I’m running a ktor project on GAE, but I’m not using their datastore. I’m just using it as a (mostly) convenient way to have the app logic running somewhere.

Also, see #ktor.

We use Ktor on GAE with Datastore , though without ofy.

In order to access entites, we ended up using an abstract class which provides property delegates that allow interaction with an underlying datastore Entity object

Something similar to this library (which I've never used): https://github.com/SamChou19815/typed-store

Hmm and can I ask.. do you call datastore methods in blocking way? or you ue suspend around?

Blocking, through a regular

DatastoreService

instead of

AsyncDatastoreService

Just pull in the

kotlinx-coroutines-jdk8

artifact and you can call

await()

on any

Future

that the

AsyncDatastoreService

returns
