Hey all! New to this space 🙂

I’m learning Kotlin with a PHP / Laravel background.
Covered the basics and these make sense. As a next step, I’m looking into Ktor and Exposed.
This tutorial helped me with Ktor: https://ktor.io/docs/creating-http-apis.html

Next step would be to include Exposed in there as well, using their getting started:
https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed/wiki/Getting-Started#download
Coming from a different background, I feel I miss some background on the installation process and frameworks so feeling a little lost there. It’s hard to assess resources I found, as they refer to different Kotlin/Ktor versions and I’m not so sure what’s still up to date (enough) and what is not.

Any tips on what I could read into to get a better grasp?

TL;DR: how can I properly install Exposed in Ktor?

You just need to add Exposed libs as a dependencies in your gradle script.
You can try to find a complex examples over the internet like https://stefangaller.at/app-development/kotlin/ktor-rest-api-exposed/
