Get started

To get started with Kotli, ensure that the next Maven repository is added to your project:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://us-maven.pkg.dev/kotlitecture/kotli-maven" }
    }
}

 

Later, all libraries can be migrated to the Maven Central repository, making this step obsolete.

Then add Kotli to the module where you’d like to use it.

dependencies {
    // engine (required)
    implementation("com.kotlitecture.kotli:kotli-engine:0.3.9")
    
    // android application template (optional)
    implementation("com.kotlitecture.kotli:template-android-compose:0.2.5")
    
    // backend spring boot template (optional)
    implementation("com.kotlitecture.kotli:template-backend-spring-boot:0.0.28")
}

Once done, verify that dependencies are available in the classpath and can be used to generate templates.

// Init registry
val androidProcessor = AndroidComposeTemplateProcessor() // android application template processor
val backendProcessor = SpringBootTemplateProcessor() // backend spring boot template processor
val templateRegistry = DefaultTemplateRegistry(androidProcessor, backendProcessor)

// Define generator
val templateGenerator = PathOutputGenerator(
    output = File("my-templates").toPath().toAbsolutePath(),
    registry = templateRegistry,
)

// Generate android application template
templateGenerator.generate(
    Layer(
        processorId = androidProcessor.getId(),
        namespace = "my.app.android",
        name = "my-android-app",
        features = listOf()
    )
)

// Generate backend spring boot template
templateGenerator.generate(
    Layer(
        processorId = backendProcessor.getId(),
        namespace = "my.app.backend",
        name = "my-backend-app",
        features = listOf()
    )
)

// Check that the templates are generated under the root folder named `my-templates`
