Building Developer Tools with Kotlin

Transcript

1. Building Developer Tools with Kotlin and Gradle Breandan Considine GIDS 2017
2. Why develop tools? • Syntax manipulation • Typing completions • Static code analysis • UI/UX components • Language support • Framework support
3. Why use Kotlin? • IntelliJ Platform / Eclipse integration • Java language / JVM interoperability • Functional programming patterns • Simplifies framework interactions • Domain specific languages • Build tools integration
4. Why use Gradle? • Comprehensive tooling support • Cross-platform IDE • Gradle tooling API • Language-native buildscripts • Vibrant plugin ecosystem • Gradlew is awesome!
5. public class Singleton { private Singleton() {} private static instance; public static Singleton getInstance() { if(instance == null) instance = new Singleton(); return instance; } public void doSomething() {} } 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: Singleton pattern: Java
6. Singleton.doSomething() Singleton pattern: Java Singleton.getInstance().doSomething();
7. Singleton.doSomething() object Singleton { fun doSomething() {} } Singleton pattern: Kotlin 1: 2: 3: Lazy Initialization
8. public class Singleton { private Singleton() {} private static instance; public static Singleton getInstance() { if(instance == null) instance = new Singleton(); return instance; } public void doSomething() {} } 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: Singleton pattern: Java
9. IntelliJ Platform SDK ActionManager.getInstance() .getAction("MyAction")… MyAction…
10. Kotlin Extensions fun String.print(string: String) { println(string) } "hello".print()
11. IntelliJ Platform Kotlin DSL 1: val panel = panel { 2: noteRow("Login:") 3: row("Username:") { userField() } 4: row("Password:") { passwordField() } 5: row { 6: rememberCheckBox() 7: right { 8: link("Forgot?") { browse(forgot) } 9: } 10: } 11: noteRow("No account? $signupLink") 12: }
12. Gradle Script Kotlin (GSK) buildscript { repositories { gradleScriptKotlin() } dependencies { classpath(kotlinModule("gradle-plugin")) } }
