Do you mean the easy plugin or the korge plugin Do you want to use it or just to figure out how to do publishing

Davide Giuseppe Farella · Answer

I m talking about the easy one Let s say that I m trying to solve a publishing problem in one of my projects but if the plugin is cool I could get use of it

Davide Giuseppe Farella · Answer

Just in case that s the problem I face <https kotlinlang slack com archives C19FD9681 p1591457385464400> And I came to find a solution in you repo because I know you have quite a few libs slightly smiling face

Not sure if coupled somehow to korlibs I hope it is not the case but can t guarantee since nobody else tried to use it as far as I m concerned In the end you just have to apply it then add a few properties to the gradle properties file like this ``` bintray location =korlibs project bintray repository=korlibs project bintray package=korio project info project name=korio root project scm url= project description=I O utilities for Kotlin project license name=MIT License project license url=```

Yes I found that Let s say that I have a small lib for publishing but I m struggling with an edge case so coming to your repos I noticed that and I was wondering if that could really help me to clean up gradle s config for KMP projects but I was really struggling to understand its purpose beside the mere publishing slightly smiling face

Aha

Almost each new version of Kotlin changed a few things in the gradle plugin and wanted to abstract that so I could update just in one place with something as stable as possible via convention Initially it didn t offer for example JS testing Also initially we were not able to use the gradle metadata modules and wanted to avoid adding an implementation line for each dependency and platform It handles publishing via CI And adds a `createNewVersion` task that bumps the version= in the gradle properties + create a one commit with that and another commit with SNAPSHOT It also adds a http server for JS not sure if that s available already on Kotlin JS It also adds automatically some repositories like the bintray ones etc It detects and applies Android allowing to set sdk versions via properties It configures JVM testing to show exceptions andallow to configure them in headless mode so you can use some AWT functionality on CI directly Also configure all the native targets + common variants

Oh I see thank you slightly smiling face I seen `exposeVersion ` into your libs is that somehow related with the publishing In my lib `publish` must be called explicitly in the module s gradle so I can inject params in DSL style like ```publish explicit params or fetch from gradle properties developers dev name = 4face mail = ``` Would that somehow be possible with your lib where `publish` is implicit Does it support nested modules like following ``` root util kotlin android something somethingOther ```

exposeVersion creates a kt file with a constant with the library version updated with `build gradle kts` That s optional

I see thank you slightly smiling face

Regarding to structure As far as I remember you can have submodules in fact all the libraries have one level of submodules You can just omit the targets you don t need I think
