Hi all 👋

I have been working on re-writing the Dokka Gradle plugin to make it more compatible with the Gradle API. Today I finished compatibility with the Gradle Configuration Cache 🎉

The plugin is called Dokkatoo dokkatoo, and it’s published on the Gradle Plugin Portal

https://github.com/adamko-dev/dokkatoo

It’s very rough around the edges, so please consider it an alpha. I’d really appreciate it if you could give it a go and make a GitHub issue if there are any problems, especially if you’re Gradle-savvy, or if (like me) you’ve been avoiding using Dokka because of the Gradle plugin compatibility.

I’ve been working with @Ignat Beresnev on this (a shout out for his help!), and our goal is to merge Dokkatoo into the main Dokka repo.

I can confirm that Adam has been helping us tremendously with re-writing Dokka's Gradle plugin to be idiomatic and modern, and dokkatoo is a giant leap in that direction!

We haven't looked closely at the configuration DSL / UX yet, so there might be changes

But I would encourage you to give it a go to see if you have any problems. It would help Dokka a lot!

this like a EAP of dokka?

I want it to be an EAP yes, but really that’s up to JetBrains

note that I’m only working on the Dokka Gradle plugin - I’m not planning to make any changes to the actual Dokka documentation generator
