KotlinPoet

KotlinPoet is a Kotlin and Java API for generating .kt source files.

Source file generation can be useful when doing things such as annotation processing or interacting with metadata files (e.g., database schemas, protocol formats). By generating code, you eliminate the need to write boilerplate while also keeping a single source of truth for the metadata.

Example

Here's a HelloWorld file:

class Greeter(val name: String) {

fun greet() {

  println("Hello, $name")

}
 
}
  fun main(vararg args: String) {

Greeter(args[0]).greet() 
}

And this is the code to generate it with KotlinPoet:

val greeterClass = ClassName("", "Greeter") val file = FileSpec.builder("", "HelloWorld")
  .addType(TypeSpec.classBuilder("Greeter")

.primaryConstructor(FunSpec.constructorBuilder()

 .addParameter("name", String::class)

 .build())

.addProperty(PropertySpec.builder("name", String::class)

 .initializer("name")

 .build())

.addFunction(FunSpec.builder("greet")

 .addStatement("println(%S)", "Hello, \$name")

 .build())

.build())
  .addFunction(FunSpec.builder("main")

.addParameter("args", String::class, VARARG)

.addStatement("%T(args[0]).greet()", greeterClass)

.build())
  .build()  file.writeTo(System.out)

The KDoc catalogs the complete KotlinPoet API, which is inspired by JavaPoet.
