The Kotlin docs provide a great guide for setting up a multiplatform project with Gradle, so we’ll skip over this aspect from now on. For each platform we’ll support we need to create a separate module that depends on the common module and the appropriate Kotlin language dependency.įor example, a JavaScript app would depend on the kotlin-stdlib-jslibrary, and also a common module with a dependency on kotlin-stdlib-common. To share Kotlin code between platforms, we’ll create a common module that has a dependency on the Kotlin standard library. If you’re unfamiliar with Kotlin generally, we’d recommend visiting the Kotlin website or reading our previous blog post. The basics of Kotlin Multiplatformīefore we start building an app, we should take the time to understand the basics of Kotlin Multiplatform. Maybe in a few years, Kotlin will be a popular choice on all these platforms as well.
This blog post will explore the current state of Kotlin Multiplatform by building a simple app that runs on Android, iOS, Browser JS, Java Desktop, and Spring Boot. Kotlin is designed to interoperate fully with Java, and the JVM version of its standard library depends on the Java. And best of all, it’s possible to share code between all these targets, reducing the amount of time required for development. Write Kotlin code directly on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch This app is ideal for learning and testing code snippets Kotlin is a cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference.
Kotlin Multiplatform is an experimental language feature that allows you to run Kotlin in JavaScript, iOS, and native desktop applications, to name but a few. You’d be forgiven for thinking that Kotlin only runs on the JVM, but that’s no longer true. Kotlin has enjoyed an explosion in popularity ever since Google announced first-class support for the language on Android, and Spring Boot 2 offered Kotlin support.
