  1. Idiomatic - using, containing, or denoting expressions that are natural

    to a native speaker In case of a programming language: •Conforms to a commonly accepted style •E ff ectively uses features of the programming language
  2. fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather): Drive { var result: Drive if (weather

    is Rainy) { result = Safe() } else { result = Calm() } return result }
  3. fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather): Drive { var result: Drive if (weather

    is Rainy) { result = Safe() } else { result = Calm() } return result }
  4. fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather): Drive { val result: Drive if (weather

    is Rainy) { result = Safe() } else { result = Calm() } return result }
  5. fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather): Drive { val result: Drive if (weather

    is Rainy) { result = Safe() } else { result = Calm() } return result }
  6. fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather): Drive { val result: Drive result =

    if (weather is Rainy) { Safe() } else { Calm() } return result }
  7. fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather): Drive { val result: Drive result =

    if (weather is Rainy) { Safe() } else { Calm() } return result }
  8. fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather): Drive { val result: Drive = if

    (weather is Rainy) { Safe() } else { Calm() } return result }
  9. fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather): Drive { val result: Drive = if

    (weather is Rainy) { Safe() } else { Calm() } return result }
  10. fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather) = if (weather is Rainy) Safe() else

    Calm() fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather): Drive { var result: Drive if (weather is Rainy) { result = Safe() } else { result = Calm() } return result }
  11. abstract class Weather class Sunny : Weather() class Rainy :

    Weather() fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather) = when (weather) { is Rainy -> Safe() else -> Calm() }
  12. sealed class Weather class Sunny : Weather() class Rainy :

    Weather() fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather) = when (weather) { is Rainy -> Safe() / / else -> Calm() }
  13. sealed class Weather class Sunny : Weather() class Rainy :

    Weather() fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather) = when (weather) { is Rainy -> Safe() / / else -> Calm() }
  14. sealed class Weather class Sunny : Weather() class Rainy :

    Weather() fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather) = when (weather) { is Rainy -> Safe() is Sunny -> TODO() }
  15. sealed class Weather class Sunny : Weather() class Rainy :

    Weather() fun adjustSpeed(weather: Weather) = when (weather) { is Rainy -> Safe() is Sunny -> TODO() } Use expressions! Use when as expression body Use sealed classes with when
  16. Use try as expression body fun tryParse(number: String) : Int?

    { try { return Integer.parseInt(number) } catch (e: NumberFormatException) { return null } }
  17. Use try as expression body fun tryParse(number: String) = try

    { Integer.parseInt(number) } catch (e: NumberFormatException) { null }
  18. Use try as expression fun tryParse(number: String) : Int? {

    val n = try { Integer.parseInt(number) } catch (e: NumberFormatException) { null } println(n) return n }
  19. Use elvis operator as return and throw class Person(val name:

    String?, val age: Int?) fun processPerson(person: Person) { val name = person.name if (name = = null) throw IllegalArgumentException("Named required") val age = person.age if (age == null) return println("$name: $age") }
  20. Use elvis operator as return and throw class Person(val name:

    String?, val age: Int?) fun processPerson(person: Person) { val name = person.name if (name = = null) throw IllegalArgumentException("Named required") val age = person.age if (age == null) return println("$name: $age") }
  21. Use elvis operator as return and throw class Person(val name:

    String?, val age: Int?) fun processPerson(person: Person) { val name = person.name if (name = = null) throw IllegalArgumentException("Named required") val age = person.age if (age == null) return println("$name: $age") }
  22. Use elvis operator as return and throw class Person(val name:

    String?, val age: Int?) fun processPerson(person: Person) { val name = person.name ? : throw IllegalArgumentException("Named required") val age = person.age ?: return println("$name: $age") }
  23. Consider using null-safe call val order = retrieveOrder() if (order

    == null || order.customer = = null || order.customer.address == null){ throw IllegalArgumentException("Invalid Order") } val city = order.customer.address.city
  24. Consider using null-safe call val order = retrieveOrder() val city

    = order ?. customer ? . address ?. city ?: throw IllegalArgumentException("Invalid Order")
  25. Avoid not-null assertions !! val order = retrieveOrder() val city

    = order !! .customer !! .address !! .city “You may notice that the double exclamation mark looks a bit rude: it’s almost like you’re yelling at the compiler. This is intentional.” - Kotlin in Action
  26. Avoid not-null assertions !! class MyTest { class State(val data:

    String) private var state: State? = null @BeforeEach fun setup() { state = State("abc") } @Test fun foo() { assertEquals("abc", state !! .data) } }
  27. Avoid not-null assertions !! class MyTest { class State(val data:

    String) private var state: State? = null @BeforeEach fun setup() { state = State("abc") } @Test fun foo() { assertEquals("abc", state !! .data) } } class MyTest { class State(val data: String) private lateinit var state: State @BeforeEach fun setup() { state = State("abc") } @Test fun foo() { assertEquals("abc", state.data) } } - use lateinit
  28. Consider using ?.let for null-checks val order = retrieveOrder() if

    (order != null){ processCustomer(order.customer) }
  29. Consider using ?.let for null-checks val order = retrieveOrder() if

    (order != null){ processCustomer(order.customer) } retrieveOrder() ?. let { processCustomer(it.customer) } retrieveOrder() ?. customer ?. let { :: processCustomer } or
  30. Consider using ?.let for null-checks val order = retrieveOrder() if

    (order != null){ processCustomer(order.customer) } retrieveOrder() ?. let { processCustomer(it.customer) } No need for an extra variable retrieveOrder() ?. let { processCustomer(it.customer) } retrieveOrder() ?. customer ?. let { :: processCustomer } or
  31. Consider using ?.let for null-checks val order = retrieveOrder() if

    (order != null){ processCustomer(order.customer) } retrieveOrder() ?. let { processCustomer(it.customer) } retrieveOrder() ?. let { processCustomer(it.customer) } retrieveOrder() ?. customer ?. let { :: processCustomer } or
  32. Consider using safe cast for type checking override fun equals(other:

    Any?) : Boolean { val command = other as Command return command.id == id }
  33. Consider using safe cast for type checking override fun equals(other:

    Any?) : Boolean { val command = other as Command return command.id == id } override fun equals(other: Any?) : Boolean { return (other as? Command) ?. id == id }

  39. Don’t create classes just to hold functions class StringUtils {

    companion object { fun isPhoneNumber(s: String) = s.length = = 7 & & s.all { it.isDigit() } } }
  40. Don’t create classes just to hold functions class StringUtils {

    companion object { fun isPhoneNumber(s: String) = s.length = = 7 & & s.all { it.isDigit() } } } object StringUtils { fun isPhoneNumber(s: String) = s.length = = 7 & & s.all { it.isDigit() } }

  43. Extension or a member? https://kotlinlang.org/docs/coding-conventions.html#extension-functions •Use extension functions liberally. •If

    a function works primarily on an object, consider making it an extension with that object as a receiver. •Minimize API pollution, restrict the visibility. •As necessary, use local extension functions, member extension functions, or top-level extension functions with private visibility.
  44. Use default values instead of overloading class Phonebook { fun

    print() { print(",") } fun print(columnSeparator: String) {} } fun main(args: Array<String>) { Phonebook().print("|") }
  45. Use default values instead of overloading class Phonebook { fun

    rank: Int, val name: String ) fun namedNum() = GameResult(1, "Player 1") fun main(args: Array<String>) { val (rank, name) = namedNum() println("$name, rank $rank") } GameResult var1 = namedNum(); int var2 = var1.component1(); String var3 = var1.component2();
  49. Destructuring in loops fun printMap(map: Map<String, String>) { for (item

    in map.entries) { println("${item.key} -> ${item.value}") } }
  50. Destructuring in loops fun printMap(map: Map<String, String>) { for (item

    in map.entries) { println("${item.key} -> ${item.value}") } } fun printMap(map: Map<String, String>) { for ((key, value) in map) { println("$key -> $value") } }
  51. Destructuring in lists data class NameExt( val name: String, val

  52. Use type aliases for functional types class Event class EventDispatcher

    { fun addClickHandler(handler: (Event) -> Unit) {} fun removeClickHandler(handler: (Event) -> Unit) {} }
  53. Use type aliases for functional types class Event class EventDispatcher

    { fun addClickHandler(handler: (Event) -> Unit) {} fun removeClickHandler(handler: (Event) -> Unit) {} } typealias ClickHandler = (Event) -> Unit class EventDispatcher { fun addClickHandler(handler: ClickHandler) { } fun removeClickHandler(handler: ClickHandler) { } }
  54. Verify parameters using require() class Person( val name: String?, val

    age: Int ) fun processPerson(person: Person) { if (person.age < 18) { throw IllegalArgumentException("Adult required") } }
