Hey all!

In this version:

• Object Suppliers – improved support for classes and subclasses without no arg constructor.
• Implicit Transformers – new useful built in transformers for subclasses mapping.

We have added it to the already available features:

• Automatic mapping.
• Conditional mapping.
• Deep mapping.
• Mapping decorators for advanced logic.
• Null values mapping strategy.
• Annotation support.
• Multi class mappings – Map from source class to multiple different target classes/fields.
• Mapping to/from subclasses.
• Custom transformers.
• Native support for spring (beans).
• Android support

Any requests and/or recommendations are more than welcome! It’s a pleasure to be a part of the open source community and we want to keep push forward and offer great tools to help others.

very straightforward question.

How different is implementing Design Patters in Kotlin compared to Java ?

I know that Object class is an implementation of the Singleton pattern, but I haven’t been lucky enough to implement myself/stumble upon other patterns in Kotlin. Should I assume that other patterns are implemented in Kotlin in Java-esque way ?

If you have any sauce (books, youtube videos, …) that tackles this specific thema, please do share in the comments.

Thank you for your answers.

I am java dev, last two years I working with kotlin. My mind still use java appropriate to solve problems. I am trying to pickup all kotlin tricks to reduce amount of code. Can we list hidden features of kktlin which every developer should know.

Hey all,
I’m one of the organizer of the Kotlin DevRoom @ FOSDEM 2023. I’m sharing that we’re looking for speakers to talk about Kotlin and Open Source in Brussels on Saturday 4th of February 2023.

What is FOSDEM

From: https://fosdem.org/2023/about/
FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event organized by the community, for the community.

The goal is to provide free and open source software developers and communities a place to meet to:

• get in touch with other developers and projects
• be informed about the latest developments in the free software and open source world
• attend interesting talks and presentations on various topics by project leaders and committers
• promote the development and benefits of free software and open source solutions

Participation and attendance is totally free, though the organizers gratefully accept donations and sponsorship

What is the Kotlin DevRoom

The Kotlin DevRoom is a co-located conference-within-a-conference that gives us the opportunity to come together and chat, hack, and share stories about Kotlin usage in the FLOSS ecosystems.

The DevRoom will take place on Saturday 4th of February 2023, at ULB (Campus Solbosch) in Brussels, Belgium.

Join us to enjoy a full day of talks, demos, and interesting discussions about Kotlin!

The Call for Paper

Hope to see you there in person!

So i’ve spent some time messing around and getting some basic hello world running using the cli compiler following this tutorial:
https://blog.jdriven.com/2021/04/running-kotlin-in-the-browser-with-wasm/

But i’m trying to work out how I can compile it as a library and then interface with that library in JS. but there doesn’t seem to be many examples.

Here’s an example of something im looking for:

Write an add/sum function in kotlin; compile that to wasm and then call the add function from some .js file. (where the add function takes two number arguments)

Thanx in add-vance

Hello,
what exactly is this data type? Why is it possible to append .start() on the lambda?

Thread {
while(true) { }
}.start()

In my Kotlin Mutliplatform Mobile project, in Android App side, I am using Databinding

When I try to use a field (String) to bind them with a EditText from a class which is in commonMain module, I am getting “No binding adaptor found” error message

But if I access a field (String) from a class which is in App module itself, it’s working fine

Also, for a databinding variable, when I try to initialise them from Kotlin side, like binding.editService = EditService(), I am getting error like conflicting classpaths.. for editService. But this is not occuring when using App module classes as variable for binding

​

Why this is happening ? Why it is not possible to access commonMain classes in databinding layout ?

​

(not a help me post. just asking reason for these limitations?)
