Kotlin as scripting language

Kotlin is gaining more and more popularity, especially after it graduated as official programming language to develop Android Applications. It can be used, however, to write elegant and highly maintainable scripts too and in this this talk I show how.

5. Bash Java Python Kotlin
6. fun main(args: Array<String>) { println("Hello World!") } $ kotlinc hello.kt -include-runtime -d hello.jar $ java -jar hello.jar two params Hello World!
7. println("Hello world!") $ kotlinc -script helloScript.kts Hello world!
8. println("Called with args:") args.forEach { println("- $it") } $ kotlinc -script helloScript.kts hello ‘with spaces’ Called with args: - hello - with spaces
9. import java.io.File val folders: Array<File>? = File(".").listFiles { file -> file.isDirectory } folders?.forEach { folder -> println(folder) } $ kotlinc -script dirsExplore.kts ./dir2 ./dir1
10. import java.io.File fun printCurrentAndSubdirs(currentDir: File) { println(currentDir.path) currentDir.listFiles { file -> file.isDirectory }?.forEach { printCurrentAndSubdirs(it) } } printCurrentAndSubdirs(File(".")) $ kotlinc -script dirsExploreRecursion.kts . ./dir2 ./dir2/dir2.1 ./dir2/dir2.2 ./dir1
11. import java.io.File fun File.printPathAndSubdirs() { println(path) listFiles { file -> file.isDirectory }?.forEach { it.printPathAndSubdirs() } } File(".").printPathAndSubdirs() $ kotlinc -script dirsExploreRecursionExtension.kts . ./dir2 ./dir2/dir2.1 ./dir2/dir2.2 ./dir1
12. kscript
13. kscript https://github.com/holgerbrandl/kscript
14. kscript - install $ brew install holgerbrandl/tap/kscript
15. println("Hello world!") $ kotlinc -script helloScript.kts Hello world!
16. println("Hello world!") $ kscript helloScript.kts Hello world!
17. kscript - input modes $ kscript helloScript.kts $ kscript https://gist.githubusercontent.com/danybony/.../kscriptUrl.kts $ kscript ‘println(“Hello there”)’ $ echo ‘ println("Hello Kotlin.") ' | kscript -
18. #!/usr/bin/env kscript println(“Hello!") for (arg in args) { println("arg: $arg") } $ chmod +x interpreter.kts $ ./interpreter.kts world Hello! arg: world
19. kscript - cache $ time kotlinc -script helloScript.kts $ time kscript helloScript.kts 3.140s 3.112s 3.193s 3.087s 3.064s … 3.896s 0.604s 0.607s 0.620s 0.615s … Scripts cache: ~/.kscript/scriptname_hashcode.kts
20. kscript - dependencies //DEPS com.drewnoakes:metadata-extractor:2.12.0 import com.drew.imaging.ImageMetadataReader import com.drew.metadata.Metadata import java.io.File val metadata: Metadata = ImageMetadataReader.readMetadata(File("image.jpg"))
21. kscript - dependencies @file:MavenRepository("central", "https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/") @file:DependsOn("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.3.2") @file:DependsOn("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core-common:1.3.2") import kotlinx.coroutines.* println("Start") // Start a coroutine GlobalScope.launch { delay(1000) println("Stop") } println("Hello") Thread.sleep(2000) // wait for 2 seconds
22. kscript - includes fun String.upperCase() { ... } //INCLUDE utils.kt @file:Include("util.kt") val shouted = "hello!".upperCase() script.kts utils.kts
23. kscript - help $ kscript --help Usage: kscript [options] <script> [<script_args>]... kscript --clear-cache The <script> can be a script file (*kts), a script URL, - for stdin, a *.kt source file with a main method, or some kotlin code. Use '--clear-cache' to wipe cached script jars and urls Options: -i --interactive Create interactive shell with dependencies as declared in script -t --text Enable stdin support API for more streamlined text processing --idea Open script in temporary Intellij session -s --silent Suppress status logging to stderr --package Package script and dependencies into self-dependent binary --add-bootstrap-header Prepend bash header that installs kscript if necessary
24. Kscript - edit in IntelliJ IDEA $ kscript --idea photoStats.kts
25. Kscript - edit in IntelliJ IDEA
26. Kscript - edit in IntelliJ IDEA
27. kscript - deploy as binaries $ kscript --package helloScript.kts [kscript] Packaging script 'helloScript' into standalone executable... $ ./helloScript Hello world!

35. Conclusions
36. Conclusions • Kotlin script support • Good for quick prototyping • Kotlin language power • Limitations • kscript • Only for *nix-based OS • Powerful • Efficient
