example-kotlin

This repository demonstrates how to use Kotlin with Pants. (Pants also supports Java and Scala, which are demonstrared in the example-jvm repository.)

There are two examples:

This is only one possible way of laying out your project with Pants. See pantsbuild.org/docs/source-roots#examples for some other example layouts.

Running Pants

You run Pants goals using the pants launcher binary, which will bootstrap the version of Pants configured for this repo if necessary.

See here for how to install the pants binary.

Goals

Pants commands are called goals. You can get a list of goals with

pants help goals

Most goals take arguments to run on. To run on a single directory, just use the directory name. To recursively run on a directory and all its subdirectories, add :: to the end.

For example:

pants lint src: 3rdparty::

You can run on all changed files:

pants --changed-since=HEAD lint

You can run on all changed files, and any of their "dependees":

pants --changed-since=HEAD --changed-dependees=transitive test

Example Goals

Try these out in this repo!

Run ktlint

pants fmt ::  # Format all files.
pants fmt src/jvm  # Format only files in this directory (non-recursively).
pants lint src/jvm::  # Check that all files under `src/jvm` are formatted (recursively).

Check compilation

pants check ::  # Compile everything.
pants check src/jvm/org/pantsbuild/example/json/JsonExample.kt  # Compile a file and its deps.

Create a binary file

Writes the result to the dist/ folder.

pants package src/jvm/org/pantsbuild/example/json  # Build binaries in this directory.
pants package ::  # Create all binaries.

Determine dependencies

pants dependencies src/jvm::
pants dependencies --transitive src/jvm::

Determine dependees

That is, find what code depends on a particular files.

pants dependees src/jvm/org/pantsbuild/example/json::
pants dependees --transitive src/jvm/org/pantsbuild/example/json/JsonExample.kt

Count lines of code

pants count-loc ::
