A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I'm getting started with converting all our modules build from groovy to kts. Learning this as I go.
I'm trying to figure out something that I _think_ should be simple?

With groovy I could do this:

// `$rootDir/gradle/root.gradle`
```ext.foo = "something"```
// `$rootDir/gradle/root/git_util.gradle`
```ext.complex_value = someValue.with {
  return doSomeHardWork(rootDir) + foo
}```
// `build.gradle`
```apply {
  from "$rootDir/gradle/root/git_util.gradle"
}

def someMap = [
  key: complex_value
]```
I can't figure out how to get an equivalent going in Kotlin such that I could define `val`s that are globally available but are computed *once* _and_ have access to the `Project` (e.g. using `rootDir`)
(I know I can make extension functions on `Project` in `buildSrc` but those are all functions that will get invoked on every call. Groovy has `.memoize()` but I don't think there's an equivalent in `.kts` )

if you want to keep using extra properties, see <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/writing_build_scripts.html#sec:extra_properties>
