i'd love to you use

jtsgen

, a project written in java that allows to generate typscript typings from java- and kotlin classes. the problem: it uses

kapt

to generate them which drives it more or less impossible. i'd need to use it as

common

-dependency to use the annotations which isn't possible and OTOH using kapt seems to be impossible in MPP, too. But there is a glimmer of hope left: in fact we would need this dependency only at compiletime and there is nothing left at runtime. Can anyone imagine a way to use it?

As far as I know, annotation processing is the only technique right now that allows circular dependencies, i.e. using generated code from code it was generated from. If you don’t need it, you can use a lot of various generation techniques.

i dont think i understood your answer...

Do you plan to use TS typings in the same project, or do you want it for external consumption?

external consumption - the

d.ts

files would be a artefact of the MPP

Then you might go with a Gradle plugin that will consume output of Kotlin compilation and generate d.ts

but i dont want to parse the output of something. it's the sorucecode itself that is process by kapt
